What tools are most effective for AS400 migration projects?
Yes, and the choice is made per layer, because an IBM i (AS/400) workload consists of three layers that behave differently.
The database layer, Db2 for i with DDS defined physical and logical files, is converted by SQLWays, one of the few products on the market that lists Db2 AS/400 to PostgreSQL, Oracle, SQL Server and MySQL as supported directions. Logical files become views or indexes, journaling is replaced by native transaction logging, and EBCDIC to Unicode conversion is resolved during extraction, which changes sort order and therefore range query results.
The application layer, written in RPG, COBOL and CL, is converted by CodeWays for the supported languages, together with embedded SQL and database API calls. Free tools like InsightWays and Metrics quickly assess code volume and complexity across languages, ensuring an accurate scope before estimation.
