Oracle Tuxedo Application Rehosting Workbench

Oracle Tuxedo Application Rehosting Workbench is part of a packaged and comprehensive solution that enables its users:

•	To perform a replatforming project with minimum risk and cost.

•	To run the replatformed applications in a standardized UNIX/Linux, Oracle Tuxedo, Oracle environment.

The Oracle Tuxedo Application Rehosting Workbench that is used only during the replatforming project itself is composed of several tools, the principal tools are the:

•

Cataloger

•	DB2-to-Oracle convertor

•	File-to-Oracle converter

•	File-to-File converter

•	COBOL convertor

•	JCL translator

Sequence of the Rehosting Workbench Processes

The tools should be used in the following sequence as shown in the following figure:

1.	Catalog the asset

2.	Convert data

Note:

Cataloguing is a prerequisite to the data conversion process, whether it be file conversion or database conversion.

3.	Translate language components

When converting data from VSAM files to Oracle tables, File-to-Oracle data conversion is a prerequisite to JCL and COBOL translation

When converting data from DB2 databases to Oracle data conversion, DB2-to-Oracle data conversion is a prerequisite to COBOL translation.
