  • iSociety Chat: Preparing for the Move to i5/OS V6R1

    September 17, 2007 Timothy Prickett Morgan

    This Wednesday, the iSociety i5/OS and OS/400 community will host a chat that that your programmers and system administrators should probably listen in on if your company has any plans to move to i5/OS V6R1 when it becomes available next year.

    Paul Gotland, the software development engineer from the Rochester Lab who is intimately familiar with the inner workings of the microcode, technology independent machine interface, and compilers of the AS/400, iSeries, and System i servers, will be hosting a fireside chat on the things people have to do to prepare for the move to V6R1. We covered the program conversion issue related to the move to V6R1 a month ago in i5/OS V6R1: The TIMI, It Is A-Changing, but there are undoubtedly questions you have about the issue that only Gotland can answer.

    Anyway, you can participate in the chat at this link; it starts at 12 p.m. central time on September 19. (I will miss the chat because I will be down at the SAP “A1S” launch here in New York.) My advice is to read the related Redpaper on the issue well in advance of the chat, which is in the set of links below, before attending.

    [Live Webinar] Rewrite your Synon in Java? It could be… a mistake!

    Converting from Synon CA 2E to a modern language? There are many good reasons to take this step. Beyond the critical shortage of Synon skills, applications developed in this 4GL environment can no longer take advantage of key technology advances in the IBM i operating system. And though a leader in its day, the Synon CASE tool is incompatible with modern DevOps practices and concurrent development.

    Do you think the best way to move away from Synon CA 2E is by rewriting everything in Java?

    Think again. A full rewrite is risky, expensive, and slow — often leading to years of redevelopment and countless functional regressions.

    Join Philippe Magne, CEO of ARCAD Software and Ray Bernardi, senior solution architect to learn why a conversion to Free Form RPG is a risk-free and high-performance option that leverages the architecture of the original Synon application – retaining all the reliability and security advantages of the host platform.

    In our Webinar, we will share a secure, automated migration path for business applications developed in Synon CA 2E:

    • 100% automated conversion to modern Free Form RPG and DDL (SQL)
    • Guaranteed conversion accuracy with test automation process
    • Possible modernization of the user interface during the project
    • Risk free, fixed price Modernization as a Service (MaaS)
    • Modern full DevOps framework for delivery

    Leverage the competitive advantage within your Synon application.
