About the Webinar:
Our iA webinar session – Unlock the Secrets of Risk-Free DDS To DDL Modernization With iA, will dive into a cost-effective and risk-free method to upgrade DDS databases to DDL tables for enhanced database performance, industry standard compliance, and future readiness.
A DDS (Data Description Specifications) database is a legacy database format used on IBM i systems, where database tables are defined using DDS. It is an older method of specifying files and their structures. To leverage modern database features, improve performance, and enhance maintainability, DDS databases must be converted to DDL (Data Definition Language) tables.
However, while converting DDS to DDL tables, organizations must update associated programs and data access methods, conduct extensive testing, and ensure the system remains stable during and after the transition. Oftentimes, it results in compatibility issues and disruption of existing applications that rely on the DDS structure.
The iA Impact Analysis solution facilitates a smooth modernization pathway, saving time, minimizing errors, and boosting development and testing efficiency.
In this webinar, our RPG expert, Pranav Joshi, will guide you on how to leverage the solution effectively for DDS to DDL conversion and DDS-associated join and non-join logical file modernization for future-proof application development.
Key Takeaways:
- Understand how to future-proof applications by converting DDS files to DDL tables.
- Explore ways to ensure compliance with industry standards during modernization.
- Save time and reduce errors in development and testing with automation.
- Gain insights into modernizing dependent logical files, including join and non-join types.
