Ispirer Toolkit Improvements, January 2024

As we step into the New Year, we're not taking a break from making Ispirer products better. In the past month, we've really spruced up our tools. Even during the holiday season, we're focusing on two things: making sure the conversion quality is top-notch and ensuring our tools are easy for you to use. We want to keep things simple and straightforward, so you can get the most out of Ispirer products without any hassle. So, let's kick off the year by checking out the upgraded features that make working with our tools even better.

What exciting features have been added to our tools over the past month?

Assessment Toolkit is now able to provide an extended report with a detailed assessment of the complexity of a migration project for Oracle to Java migration. Let us remind you that such a report contains information on the expected automated conversion level, the proposed number of customizations, and the number of objects that require manual modification.

Ispirer Toolkit now can boast about the accelerated export of data from Informix to SQL Server. Due to the update, the export speed is now 400% higher, which is quite impressive, right?

The second update at the spotlight is a summary page. The Ispirer team diligently enhanced a summary page that displays all the information about the conversion settings. This update contributes to making the conversion results more transparent and detailed.

We also added to NGLFly Wizard the possibility to run the conversion from PowerBuilder to Java\C# in multiple streams. Such a multithreaded process makes the conversion 4 times faster in the case of a multiple file source codebase.
