eav Rapid Program Modernization (eavRPM™)

eavRPM allows mainframe developers to create new business applications in native open systems using C# or Java, without knowing C# or Java. COBOL and Adabas Natural developers can now copy and paste mainframe maps, business rules and other source code from mainframe languages to web pages quickly and easily. The result: native web applications with no middleware, no blackboxes and no ongoing license fees. The benefit: leverage of your proven business rules with a brand new user interface, continued keyboard features with new mouse-driven and scrollable features, and much lower operating costs for your organization. The bottom line: less cost, more features, full agility, complete scalability, and the ability to add colors, graphics, video and all of the visual interest that today's world wide web offers.

Mainframe Web Development

eavRPM uses your mainframe applications as the basis for new off-mainframe applications. It quickly transitions your mainframe programmers into web developers. It uses terms and tools that a mainframe programmer understands, but produces object-oriented applications that are easy for your C# and Java teams to maintain and enhance. It produces web applications that contain the business processes that you use today along with all of the enhancements that the web offers - mouse-driven features, pull-downs, checkboxes, gridviews, etc.

eavRPM is built upon the eav™ framework to facilitate complete application understanding.

Simple COBOL or Natural Modernization

eavRPM was designed to simplify the COBOL or Natural modernization process by leveraging a direct connection to SQL Server, Oracle, or DB2. This tool empowers your existing programming staff to create modern applications via an easy-to-use graphical user interface.They simply capture lines of COBOL or Natural code and eavRPM automatically converts it to C# or Java.

Even your business analysts who don’t have prior programming skills can specify the basic screen processing needed to enhance business performance. They use point-and-click master page definitions and build templates with consistent headings, footers, etc. They can also split, merge or change screens for ease of use. Depending on its scope, a complete application can be prototyped in a matter of hours or even minutes. Style sheets are also available to maintain visual consistency in your modernized program. Company logos (as well as database queries and other objects) are easily dragged and dropped in for a uniform look.

Rapid Program Modernization Features

The developement of Enterprise Application Viewer Rapid Program Modernization (eavRPM) was driven by market demand for a complete suite of tools that enable concurrent application modernization during the conversion process. In essence, companies that wanted to be able to modernize their applications at the same time they were migrating to newer platforms can now accomplish this goal with eavRPM. It is possible to take full advantage of relational technologies, such as Microsoft’s SQL Server, and new platforms, such as the .NET Framework.
