By combining the Web technologies with the vast resources of traditional information technology, companies around the world are shifting their business activities to the Internet. Business done on the Internet is known as e-business. The new application architecture use the Network Computing Framework. Java is the development environment for choice of the Internet, and new connectors exist to access the enterprise resources managed by CICS and DB2.
To gain the advantage of this new model and environment, companies face a choice to either create completely new applications to exploit the Internet and allow them to do business on the Internet, or migrate and enhance existing applications to support the Web technologies.
In this book, we explore the migration path. In the summer of 1997, an international team at ITSO San Jose migrated a 1992 client/server application to the new architecture with three main objectives:
- To reuse the maximum amount of the existing application
- To open the application to the Net
- To add a new function to the application.
This redbook explains the complete migration process from the design phase to production, including the choice of the tools used in the migration. This book will help you to understand the different steps required in a migration process, what questions have to be asked and some of the answers we found in our environment. It also describes the different tools and technologies that we used to accomplish this work. In addition, it presents some alternatives to our choice that may need to be investigated.
This redbook is intended for technical professionals who are working in the area of designing and implementing network computing applications connected to existing enterprise systems.
