An independent code analysis conducted by IBM on the advantages of modernizing CA 2E (Synon) on IBM i using X–2E Modernize.
CA 2E (Synon) is one of the most successful 4GL tools on IBM i. But even with its powerful features, many companies are under pressure to modernize their business applications beyond the scope and capability of what CA 2E can offer. For example, it can be hard to find developers with CA 2E skills. CA 2E applications are also less agile and integrating them with others systems can be challenging.
Converting your CA 2E applications to Java enables you to modernize valuable code to take advantage of new opportunities. By transforming from CA 2E to Java, you’ll be able to respond to current and future business needs faster and grow your business.
This white paper briefly describes the advantages of modernizing CA 2E (Synon) on IBM i. It includes IBM’s evaluation of the maintainability of Java code converted from RPG by Fresche’s X-2E Modernize solution. The X-2E Modernize solution converts and generates native, object oriented Java code in an MVC Design pattern with RESTful interaction. CA 2E is ideally suited for conversion to Java as it contains a highly useful design model. The white paper also includes an overview of Fresche’s conversion process and an architecture diagram for the converted code.
