Scaling Bottlenecks

Your Db2 for i instances hit performance ceilings, limiting application growth and user concurrency.

License Lock‑In & Audits

Escalating IBM licensing costs and surprise audits drain your budget and distract your team.

Legacy Schema & Code Fears

Fear of moving from DDS files, embedded RPG SQL, and external triggers stalls your modernization plans.

IBM i → PostgreSQL migration — your questions answered

How do you migrate my existing DDS files to PostgreSQL?+

Our proprietary parsers convert DDS-defined physical and logical files directly into clean PostgreSQL schema scripts. No manual rewriting of legacy definitions.

Can you convert embedded SQL inside RPG programs?+

Yes. Our assessment identifies all embedded SQL in your RPG programs. The migration project rewrites them to standard PostgreSQL SQL, preserving business logic.

What about system-defined triggers written in RPG?+

Absolutely. External trigger programs written in RPG are reviewed and re‑implemented as PostgreSQL trigger functions. No functionality is lost.

Will I lose support during the migration?+

Your vendor contract stays active as long as it’s current—you migrate on your timeline. If your renewal lapses, our third-party support covers most operational issues on the legacy platform while you finish the move.
