Conversion |
Rally 4GL for rapid application development was adopted by many
enterprises for their vertical application development in the late 1980's
and early 1990's. In the context for which it was created Rally was a formidable
tool that allowed development of applications in the Open VMS environment
for text-based systems. Many enterprises and organizations built their
mission critical systems with Rally. Many man-years of code were invested
in this 4GL tool, in the business logic of their applications.
But now Rally applications have became legacy ones...
Rally to Java is
a software engine toolset and methodology that will take an application
coded in Rally and generate Java application source code with minimal need
for a programmer involvement...

For many years PowerBuilder was one of the most serious and robust
RAD tools for Client / Server and n-tier development.
Billions of PowerBuilder code lines have been written by thousands
of trained developers. Reliable high-performance PowerBuilder
applications are deployed worldwide.
Enterprises invested in a PowerBuilder infrastructure assuming that
they were investing in a platform that would remain vibrant for many
years.
However the forces of the market thought otherwise.

When moving from legacy applications to new advanced ones we should
consider not only applications to be changed but also significant
changes in data structure. The new data frequently has a more normalized
structure with stronger data integrity restrictions.
Copying the old data into the new structure becomes the key problem
for the success of the new application implementation.
The most complicated part of the problem is not different data
formats or data locations, but changes in the data structure itself.

JDataPanel is a base presentation layer control of MainTrend's framework for Java applications and
applets.
Now it is a part of the
Rally Conversion Suite
and after the beta testing period it will be an independent product and the base for converted from PowerBuilder applications.

Technological Development Prediction ( Future development ) |
One of the chess grandmasters said that there are no good moves in a
bad position.
And so it is in the technology area. The dual relationships between
inventions (inventors) and technology (new inventions make it possible
to use new technology and a new technology brings new inventions) make
choosing the right direction of development
the most important part of achieving corporate goals.
Unfortunately, especially in big and powerful organizations, the direction
of development efforts is very often determined by thinking inertia. Spending
big money does not always lead to big results.
Only knowledge of the right direction can save time and money, and
make it possible to achieve corporate goals.
