Ispirer tools monthly update, December 2022

One of the main components of a successful project is a premigration assessment. This in-depth review helps evaluate the complexities and risks, which, in turn, helps in choosing the right plan of action for the migration project. That is why we pay close attention to the quality of our free Ispirer Assessment Toolkit.

What’s new in Ispirer Assessment Toolkit?

This month we added a new table with summary information about objects complexity. What is more, we improved conversion for Oracle to PostgreSQL directions by extending the Toolkit Efficiency Assumption block in generated reports.

Also we do remember about graphical user interface as well as about our international customers. We improved GUI in the html reports, fixed minor bugs in assessment logic and added support of Japanese characters in object names in GUI.

Ispirer Toolkit improvements:

  • Improved general report that is generated after import for migration to Microsoft SQL Server
  • Improved user experience by removing Export Options page and moved necessary options to appropriate pages. Updated the interface of Summary page and reports page in GUI.
  • Added the possibility to copy and save the generated command line into files.
  • Improved default option settings for main directions in GUI.
