ASTOC Project Requirements

For a conversion project to benefit from the use of ASTOC, it must meet the following requirements:

• Sources in IBM 360/370/390 assembler, Siemens BS-2000 assembler or assembly language of any compatible system. Unisys 1100/2200 assembler is available on request.
• Minimum code base: 100000 LOC (lines of code)
• All source code must be made available on magnetic media or on a separate Open System at the customers offices
• External conversion mandates the availability of an application expert

ASTOC Availability

ASTOC is currently available as an integrated conversion solution, consisting of tools, services and customizations.

• In order to supply you with the best possible solution for your particular conversion environment, every ASTOC delivery is preceded by a technical evaluation. This evaluation serves to determine source environment characteristics and settings for customizable operational parameters.

Three ASTOC conversion types are available from Ordina Denkart for customers to choose from. All three are organized and executed in close co-operation with the customer.

• A customer-organized conversion is equipped with a pre-configured ASTOC toolset. Additional configurations and extensions can be ordered as separate services.
• A guided conversion consists of a pre-configured toolset, accompanied by an Ordina Denkart expert that guides a customer team through set-up and use of the toolset.
• An external conversion starts with a global code and knowledge transfer, a complete conversion at Ordina Denkart offices, frequent status and progress updates and finally a delivery of converted code for testing at the customers site. Assistance from customer experts is required at the conversion site.

In addition to these solutions, ASTOC is available as part of a re•Source re-engineering environment. See the re•Source information pages for more details.
