Legacy Application Modernization: Key Steps, Benefits & Best Practices

The new BTR2SQL v5.0 beta version enables uniPaaS users to migrate and convert their existing data from Btrieve data files to an SQL backend by offering direct export from the application source.
Converting your Btrieve data to SQL requires access to Data Definitions, usually through DDF files, which Magic applications do not normally use. In the past, this required extra steps to export the information from the Magic (uniPaaS) application each time before migrating to the SQL database. This is further complicated during a new release of the product when table definitions have been modified.
With BTR2SQL’s new feature, Magic uniPaaS developers will now be able to easily move their applications to SQL. Later, as developers need to make changes to the application and its schema and deploy them to customers, they can do so in one step and avoid having to reexport data and repeat the process. The user simply points the tool at the application's source file and provides the server and database information. In one step, all information is converted.
