This session will start with a short introduction to the Eloquence database. It will then provide an overview on typical database related questions that customers are likely to encounter in a migration situation (with a focus on Eloquence): application migration, data migration options, performance, administrative procedures and third party tools. Finally we provide an update on recent Eloquence developments. As a result, the attendees will get an overview on the various aspects of migrating Turbo IMAGE applications, and will be able to decide if Eloquence is a useful option for a specific migration project.

TITLE: Smooth Migration of HP 3000 Applications to J2EE (Part 1 of 2)

This tutorial teaches how to transform any existing COBOL/VPLUS/IMAGE application to either a JAVA GUI or Web application. It uses a combination of a Web Application Server, JBOSS and the Eclipse Workbench along with the SunGard Bi-tech Migration toolkit and the Oracle RDBMS to transform the user interface parts (VPLUS forms file) application to JAVA with no manual changes to source code. You will see how this can be done without directly writing Java code, but using tools provided by Transformix to generate the Java code. The Java code created will run on the JBOSS J2EE application server and both Linux and Windows.

This tutorial describes in detail how to transform a VPLUS terminal oriented TurboIMAGE centric COBOL application into a three-tier application. The resulting application consists of either a JAVA GUI interface or a Web interface, screen logic that executes on the J2EE JBOSS Application Server, and a legacy COBOL server program that performs a Oracle query to access a database.

TITLE: Fossilization vs Transformation "The Migration Options"

In this session we are not going to try and answer, "should I migrate some or all of my HP3000 applications" but assuming that you think that you do, to look at the main types of migration possible, and the potential upsides and downsides to each of them.

There are a whole range of options that you have to assess. In fact for many companies it will be an iterative process where what appears to be a logical first choice of direction may have to be later revised because subsequent detailed investigation throws up technical, cost or time issues that are unacceptable to your organization. Of course at the end of the process you may well re-asses your whole strategy and decide that migration is out, and decide to either buy a warehouse full of HP3000 kit to keep you going for the next ten years, or to junk the whole lot and start from scratch.

This session does not recommend any one particular strategy, but rather concentrates on the decision criteria, and hopefully in an occasionally humorous way looks at some of the decision cycles some organizations have been through over the last 5 years.

TITLE: Migrating MPE Data to the Open Source Database MySQL

This presentation will show how to migrate data from MPE to Open Source databases. We will focus on the MySQL database and include strategies to map Image data types to ANSI SQL data types, how to synchronize Image and MySQL data, and how to use MySQL tools to manage the migrated data. Next, we will compare the Open Source databases to commercial databases like ORACLE. Finally, we will provide the business justification for using Open Source databases for MPE migration including low cost, platform flexibility and future proofing.

TITLE: Scrap that DAT! ( for better and safer backups)

This session covers the replacement of DDS (DAT tape) by very inexpensive Network Attached Storage (NAS) devices.

It is targeted for small/medium HP3000 sites still rely on DAT tapes for their back up strategy, where their whole recovery strategy hangs on a flimsy piece of 4mm tape. In many sites although the backups are performed regularly and apparently correctly these tapes can in fact be unreadable or unusable.

There are now many sub $1000 network attached storage devices available capable of holding a Terabytes or more of data. This session will cover the use of Backup to Disk and the use of NAS devices to securely hold many generations of backup data. Using a NAS device can facilitate both unattended and remote backup and recovery, and remove dependency on the most likely to fail device on your HP3000 the DAT Drive, and "Duh I forgot to put the tape in" situations. The session will provide sample Job Streams and discuss some of the many options available, as well as some of the gotcha's that we have discovered when implementing both internally and at customer sites.
