Many of these systems are due to be retired, and the organization's applications must be migrated to a modern environment. In this course, learn about the ways in which developers can migrate legacy COBOL applications, the challenges in doing so, and techniques and tips for succeeding in a smooth transition. Discover various techniques and tools you can use to analyze legacy COBOL source code. Explore how to use visualization to better understand legacy code; how to extract code into a subprogram; how to effectively refactor code; and more. Get insight into some automated migration tools that streamline the process. Plus, instructor Malcolm Shore steps through the process of migrating some legacy-style COBOL application demonstrating key tools and processes along the way.
