ANSI Advanced Network Systems, Inc.
7 Charles Court, Suite 14Advanced Network Systems, Inc. has taken our existing products and further developed them to bring you the very latest technology in a set of tools for VPLUS applications running on HP e3000 and Unix Servers. By using our ANSIFORM interrogator, ANSI-Studio IDE tool and V+Adapters, you can bring your existing VPLUS applications to a standard, vendor neutral solution that follows state of the art open standards such as XML, J2EE and Java.
Migrate in two easy steps:
ANSIFORM will decompile your existing VPLUS formsfile. The form is decompiled into three separate files:
Form Presentation - Goes to whatever you desire - Java Applet, JSP, CORBA...
Form Field Information - Field and placement information is placed into a standard XML file.
Processing Specifications - Processing specs are read and placed into Java classes.
ANSI-Studio is an IDE tool that aids you in taking the output created from the ANSIFORM program and creates a migration project that helps you identify and integrate the presentation, business logic and back end process (Enterprise Information System -EIS) . The end result is a complete migrated VPLUS application that can be automatically deployed to any J2EE application server and run its associated COBOL application on either HP e3000s or MicroFocus COBOL running under Unix..
ANSI-Studio wizards can also be plugged into IBM's WebSphere Studio.
By taking the output generated by the ANSIFORM program and importing it into the ANSI-Studio, you can create a migration project and deploy the application to an application server(ANSI-Web, WebLogic, WebSphere...).
On the application server side, new transformed VPLUS forms (JSP, Java Applets ...) interact with pooled V+Adapters (Resource Adapters) via a common client interface (part of the new J2EE Connector Architecture) to the back-end COBOL applications running under MPE/iX or Unix.
Available end of January 2002.
