Although COBOL is considered a legacy system, many government and private sector organizations continue to use it to run financial, administrative and business applications. In fact, COBOL’s imperative, procedural and (in its newer iterations) object-oriented configuration serves as the foundation for...
most COBOL systems can be quickly re-deployed to a virtual or cloud platform with no change. COBOL's support for containers adds even greater portability for application development, testing and deployment across a hybrid
transcompiler, orsource-to-source translator, or it might go by another name. For example, a developer might use a transpiler to convertCOBOLto Java.
An application is a collection of related programs that together perform a business operation, such as processing a product order, or preparing a company payroll. CICS applications execute under CICS control, using CICS services and interfaces to access
Application or service orchestration is the process of integrating two or more applications and/or services together to automate a process, or synchronize data in real-time. Often, point-to-point integration may be used as the path of least resistance. However, point-to-point integration always ...
A powerful feature of Mule is that the container is message agnostic. This means it does not force XML messages on its users. While XML is common, there are many scenarios where you will want to use JSON, flat files, Cobol Copybooks, binary and file attachments, streams and Java objects...
“Global ’Search and Replace’ within 3,000+ loaded documents in one application? No problem, never a problem.” “Some software gets dumber the more it gets updated, EditPad gets smarter. I love that—as far as I know—features never disappear, but that the program is allowed to retain...
(common language runtime); GnuCOBOL compiles to C code that can then be compiled and linked; IBM COBOL compiles to object code for IBM mainframes and midrange computers and the code is then linked, similar to the early COBOL compilers; Micro Focus COBOL compiles either to .NET or JVM...
ETL is a type of data integration that refers to the three steps (extract, transform, load) used to blend data from multiple sources. It's often used to build a data warehouse. During this process, data is taken (extracted) from a source system, converted (transformed) into a format ...
What is an object? Inobject-oriented programming (OOP), objects are the things you think about first in designing a program and they are also the units of code that are eventually derived from the process. In between, each object is made into a genericclassof object, and even more generic...
