Outsourcing data accesses from the existing applications into a separate data service layer is one of the most effective ways to make the application functions more flexible. Here, RDW itself reports about their proceeding and experiences:

It all began with a complex, highly interconnected one-tier architecture of the applications on a Unisys mainframe with embedded database accesses via a call interface. A stepwise migration without a time-consuming double maintenance for the old and the new system seemed impossible, the risk for the reliable 24/7 applications seemed to be too high.

SCORE Data Architecture Integration was a key factor for the secure, stepwise database migration:

  • Single Source – Multiple Targets: Automatic generation for different platforms and databases ensures independence, decisions can be revised at any time
  • Extensive configurability makes it possible to tailor the services exactly to the requirements
  • Absolute quality and consistency by automation and change control

The result was a clean, extremely flexible layer architecture with automatically generated, high-performance data services on a cost-effective Microsoft Windows platform. Read on

RDW - Platform Migration with SCORE Data Architecture Integration

SCORE Data Architecture Integration has played an important role in RDW’s platform migration from Unisys OS 2200 to Microsoft Windows. The original application consisted of a one-tier architecture accessing the RDMS database via RSA CALL interface.

RDW: Modernisation – Step by Step to Sure Success

SCORE Data Architecture Integration

SCORE Data Architecture Integration automates the creation of data services. Automatic derivation from data models and service definitions provide platform independence of the services. That is why you can change platforms more easily and develop data services more quickly by using SCORE Data Architecture Integration.

Do You Want to Automate Your Start into SOA?

The transformation of the applications into a layer architecture with a separate data accesses layer is one of the most effective ways to make the application functions flexible. It ensures you a successful start in building a service-oriented architecture to better support your business processes with flexible application functions.

Our customers confirm that the cooperation with Delta leads the projects surely to the goal.

“We were able to perform platform, database and architecture transformation in one step. That was far more than we suspected. SCORE Data Architecture Integration proved to be the robust and reliable tool that we needed to keep our data safe and available.”

”After our application architecture had been modernized that way, the next step could take place:
Moving our applications to the new Microsoft Windows platform but leaving the data access services on the Unisys OS 2200, accessing them through the remote access options of SCORE Data Architecture Integration.
As programs modernized to use the SCORE data services for the data accesses and non-modernized programs interoperated perfectly by means of automatically produced facades, we were able to modernize small clusters one after each other bringing them into production.
This made it possible to start our migration project without the need of having the landing platform defined and available at this phase of our migration.”
