Transact Migration

A number of companies currently use business applications written in the HP Transact language on the HP e3000 platform. Transact was popular in the early 1980s when HP positioned it as their fourth-generation language (4GL) for the HP 3000 platform. As part of the Rapid/3000 software package, it had a tight integration with TurboIMAGE databases, VPLUS forms and a data dictionary.

Since HP announced its plans to stop supporting the HP e3000 platform, companies who use Transact must determine how much longer they will be able to run and maintain their HP e3000 and their Transact applications. Resources with Transact knowledge are scarce and companies are finding it increasingly difficult to maintain their applications and to integrate them with the rest of their IT environment.

Speedware offers a number of solutions to help Transact users move away from Transact on the HP e3000 to a modern environment.

  • Transact to Microsoft .NET
  • Transact to COBOL
  • Emulator for Transact on other platforms

Why Choose Speedware?

Speedware possesses the skills necessary to handle Transact modernization projects successfully. Our HP e3000 knowledge is accompanied by Transact-specific training from a veteran Transact programmer and by our extensive experience with UNIX, Window, Linux and RDBMS. This combination of factors uniquely positions us to deliver legacy modernization solutions for the HP Transact programming language.
Speedware has unmatched experience in handling challenges related to a Transact environment and surround code. Through the execution of Transaction migration projects, we have developed and refined the methodologies and technologies that allow us to handle the most common challenges, including interfaces with OS-specific references, interaction with other languages or third-party software, and sharing issues for different types of files and databases.
Speedware offers leading migrations tools, including ScreenJet's Transact to COBOL utility, as part of its winning solution for transition projects.
Speedware complements these automated tools with its technical and organizational strengths to handle all aspects of the migration process.

In most cases, a Transact application environment is not simply a collection of Transact code programs. The programs are normally surrounded by OS-specific references including MPE commands and intrinsics, or JCL code that interacts with Transact reporting. In addition, the programs often interact with third-party software such as job schedulers, print management or popular MPE software like Robelle's Suprtool or Vesoft's MPEX. Interaction with other programming languages like COBOL or C is also common, as is sharing files and databases.

Speedware possesses the experience, the tools and the skills necessary to handle all the challenges encountered during a Transact environment conversion. Our track record of 100% success speaks for itself. When you combine Speedware's migration tools with our unmatched experience and skills in legacy modernization, you have a winning solution.
