ÿÿÿÿÿÿ TORONTO--(BUSINESS WIRE) via Individual Inc. --
Jan. 23, 1997--Transformation Processing Inc. (NASDAQ
OBB:TPII) has announced a Microsoft Windows NT and
Microsoft SQL Server version of its TRANSFORM/400
AS/400 Migration Tools.
ÿÿÿÿÿÿ Users requiring migration from the IBM AS/400
platform can now consider an all Microsoft-based solution on
any platform supported by the Windows NT operating system.
ÿÿÿÿÿÿ A battery of code translators, running on Windows
NT, is used to converse the user's application source code into
machine-independent code components. One hundred precent
automatic conversion is achieved except in certain situations.
In general terms, application software functions that were
coded for a particular physical implementation require manual
adjustment of programs.
ÿÿÿÿÿÿ For example, bit manipulation of EBCDIC codes
required adjustment after programs are translated into ASCII.
Telecommunications, graphics and office automation functions
are some of the other areas that require attention, and may
need redesign.
ÿÿÿÿÿÿ These code components are reassembled into the four
modules of the TPI-designed object request broker
architecture: a User Interface client module; an Application
execution module with its dedicated Data Support module; and
an Object Manager supplying OS/400-equivalent functionality.
Implementation of this distributed processing architecture
involves compilation of the translated code and linkage with
TPI-supplied networking drivers. Data translators are used to
convert the raw binary data from the AS/400, according to a
data dictionary derived during the code translation phase, and
to load it into a SQL Server database.
ÿÿÿÿÿÿ Transformation Processing Inc. is an information
technology company that develops and markets software that
enables companies worldwide to automatically migrate their
application programs and data from legacy systems to UNIX,
NT and OS/2 open system environment and database.
