TELEBIG in a nutshell
Since 1983, TELEBIG specializes in the Modernization, Migration, Replatforming, COBOL-Java transition and the SOA Integration of Legacy systems to Open systems:• 67 very successful migraiton projects• Worldwide customers• Experts team• Own methodololy and tools ((Migration+, Legacy2java, PACBAZ Studio,…) • Integration of state of the art third party tools (XFRAME, Forms2Java,…)l
Close partnership with industry leaders:• System Integrators - Atos-Origin, Bull, CapGemini, HP, IBM, Logica, Sopra • Global technology leaders - HP, IBM, Micro Focus, Microsoft, Oracle • Specialists of modernization/migration - ATX Software, HTWC, SoftwareMining, Evolveware, Clerity, • Oracle OPN Silver partner, Microsoft PMA membre
Designer of the Modernization suite: Migration+ Professional services, including post modernization maintenance (TMA+)

PACBAZ Studio: continuity
PACBAZ Studio arises out of the needs of a significant number of very satisfied VisualAge Pacbase (VAP) users, who are at the crossroad after the annoucement of IBM to terminate the support of Pacbase in 2015
PACBAZ Studio provides development and code generation capabilities which are exactly the same as VAP, built on modern Eclipse and relational database infrastructure
The generated COBOL code is strictly the same as the one issued from VAP for all supported platforms (cf z/OS, Bull GCOS, UNIX, ...)
It also allows to generate modernized maintainable COBOL and even Java (within JEE architecture) and C# (within Microsoft .Net architecture)
PACBAZ Studio is totally developped with purely standard and Open source components and has no dependency on any other commercial tool
PACBAZ Studio: Repository
Integrated with Eclipse Accessed by the universal interface JPA: Java Persistance API Data is stored and shared in any open source or commercial
relational database :• Oracle• MySQL• Derby• DB2 UDB• …
Or in XML files that can be temporarily stored inside the developer’s workstation
Replacement of highly used VAP « sessions » via a sophisticated implementation, using CVS or SubVersion
PACBAZ Studio: Repository (continued)
Import of an exported VAP repository produced by EXLI (full or by selected libraries with related components)
Handling of all types of VAP entities Management of useds
• Users and Groups rights• Access to libraries
Small footprint, allowing easy and fast partial global backups in today’s commodity workstations and servers• Example dictionnary of:• 2000 programs,19000 elements, 27000 segments et 5000 dialogs=> 1,5
Gigabytes Organisation per libraries with cross references

PACBAZ Studio: Supported entities (continued)
Dialogue Text Document Format Guide Database block Method Meta Entity User Relation User Entity User Entity Extension
PACBAZ Studio: extract of UML representation of the repository
PACBAZ Studio: Plug-in
Full integration in Eclipse (3.5 or superior)
Works under Windows but also under any Eclipse supported platform (ie Linux)
Creation and Import of Repository
Manipulation of entity with a nice look and feel
Generation (s) of target (s) code
Sophisticated generated code comparator
Local COBOL compiler (for immediate validation)
Full local mainframe simulation (option)
PACBAZ Studio: Local compilation
Pacbaz Studio generates COBOL code to be compiled in the target environment
We provide a first compile and check capability
Associated COBOL compiler can be:• Micro Focus COBOL• Veryant vCOBOL (that generated Java and is syntaxically closed to z/OS COBOL))• Fujitsu NetCOBOL• Open COBOL (Open source)• COBOL-IT (Open source avec professional support)
Additionnaly, we propose, in the case of IBM Mainframe platforms , a development and local testing infrastructure with the XFRAME Rehosting platform
PACBAZ Studio: Management fonctions
Via Eclipse « administrator » perspective
Management of users and roles• Users, groups• Role and privileges per library• Locking and unlocking of entities
Management of sessions• Current• Historical• Shared and or/local
Save and restore• Base• CVS/Subversion referential
PACBAZ Studio: Delivery model )
