SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR ECONOMICAL MIGRATION OF LEGACY APPLICATIONS FROM MAINFRAME AND DISTRIBUTED PLATFORMS

摘要

An economical system and method of migrating legacy applications running on proprietary mainframe computer systems and distributed networks to commodity hardware-based software frameworks, by offloading the batch processing from the legacy systems, and returning the resultant data to the original legacy system to be consumed by the unaltered applications. An open source code tool is used to transfer the software, and rewrite it on a faster and more economical hardware system, while leaving a seamless integration of offloaded processing with existing batch processing flow.
