cobol?
."COBOL and XML:COBOL (Common Business Oriented Language) is a widely used mainframe programming language. It can process XML documents and interact with other languages like Java and C2.COBOL programs can parse XML files, extract relevant information, and perform business logic based on that data.Remember that modernization strategies can vary, and enterprises may choose different approaches base"
744? parse xml files to obtain the 744 functionality?
this seems a bit y2k ish? but that was the reason for micro focus in the day?
and if mainframe modernization was a thing now, microfocus and their evolved cobol and visual studio ip might play a big part. ===========
"Certainly! Let’s explore the intersection of OpenText and mainframe technology:
OpenText’s Application Modernization and Connectivity Business (AMC):
Rocket Software, a global technology leader in mainframe modernization, recently acquired OpenText’s AMC business.
AMC was formerly part of Micro Focus and has been a leader in application modernization for many years.
Their tools include COBOL and host connectivity, enabling organizations to leverage core applications and offer flexibility for modernization12.
Modernization Technology:
Instead of rewriting custom, monolithic mainframe applications, OpenText’s modernization technology allows applications to be decoupled from hardware platforms and reused elsewhere (e.g., in containers and the cloud)3.
This approach bridges the gap between mainframe security and powerful analytics tools in the cloud.
Security and Authentication:
OpenText’s solution for multifactor authentication (MFA) extends to mainframe users, ensuring robust security across the enterprise4.
It enables organizations to use the same MFA product for both enterprise and mainframe authentication.
In summary, OpenText’s AMC business, now part of Rocket Software, contributes to mainframe modernization and connectivity, offering solutions that span from the mainframe to the cloud15. If you have more questions or need further details, feel free to ask! 😊"
