Legacy in Modern Architectures - Tools from innoWake

Brief info

 "Legacy in modern architectures" changes the software landscape. Specific tools enable a much faster and more secure transformation process.

In many situations, your modernization and development projects can make use of established software solutions based on the maxenso products of our partner innoWake. maxenso stands for maximum enterprise solutions, and offers you a coherent, comprehensive concept for the modernization of your software development and applications.

Development with natclipse & friends

• with natclipse you can now develop Natural applications in the Eclipse environment. That opens up the world of modern, convenient Natural development. Features like the use of open-source version control or automatic code generation increase the quality and productivity of your applications. 

• adaclipse allows developers to search Adabas-C databases in an ad hoc manner with an SQL explorer – easily and conveniently from Eclipse. Reports are available at the touch of a button, and can be saved and run again at any time.
   
• natanalyzer is a source code analysis tool which provides you an overview of the complexity of applications, unused code, references, utilization of UI and DB, and modularity. This allows you to improve the quality of your code automatically and systematically. Moreover, your developers are supported in migration scenarios and in service encapsulation.  

Deployment with the lifecycle-manager

• The lifecycle-manager for Natural applications and non-Natural components is used to structure and optimize the entire development cycle, from initial prototype to production. This role-based solution administers the entire software lifecycle in a clear, transparent manner, ensuring long-term availability. You get an overview of versions and development processes. Program code is audit-proof, and versions can always be reconstructed.

Integration with the soa-connector

• The soa-connector connects applications and components with different programming languages, technologies, and platforms, from Windows systems to mainframes like z/OS. Both synchronous (RPC) and asynchronous (messaging) calls are supported.
  Modern technological components based on Web services, XML messaging, and .NET can easily be integrated into your existing software systems. The soa-connector manages both session handling and load balancing.

Model-driven development with the application-builder

• The application-builder is a flexible development tool for model-driven software development. With a focus on business requirements, executable applications are developed precisely and rapidly, with an extremely high proportion of generated code.
  Thanks to the technology-independent concept, your IT is always ready for future developments on the market. Technologies can simply be replaced as needed. Investment in business logic isn't wasted. For instance, the user interface is generated 100% from the model, either as a Rich client (Java) or Web client (AJAX).
