Advantages of Upgrading

The products from the Visual COBOL suite help you bring existing applications up-to-date and extend them so they take advantage of the variety of new technologies that are emerging. In most cases, you can keep the existing COBOL logic intact and then extend your applications to enable support for the modern technologies.

Choosing to upgrade to Visual COBOL Development Hub offers the following advantages:

·         A basic upgrade - Visual COBOL Development Hub supercedes Server Express. There should be no changes required in your existing build scripts and not or minimal changes to your source code to ensure that the applications compile as before.

The development environment is very similar to Server Express so you can quickly get up-to-speed with developing and maintaining your applications.

·         Utilize modern technologies - Visual COBOL Development Hub enables you to compile your existing applications to Java byte code without any changes. Compiling to Java byte code helps expose your applications to any other languages and technologies that use Java byte code.
