摘要:
Embodiments of the present invention relate to “migration points” and an associated method and calculation tool. In general, a migration point is a number that represents an evaluation of the size and complexity of performing a migration, port, or refresh of an application from a legacy platform to a new target platform. When migration points are applied to applications across a portfolio, the migration points provide a relative measurement of the size and complexity necessary to perform the migration. Additionally, this measurement can be used to make a determination in calculating migration productivity (i.e., migration points divided by person-months, similar to how software productivity utilizes function points). In a typical embodiment, the migration point total is based on a set of qualitative migration points and a set of quantitative migration points, which are based on various technical aspects of the application, operating system, and hardware involved with the migration process.

摘要:
A method (which can be computer implemented) for addressing errors during migration of software applications includes the step of obtaining access to a data repository, which includes a listing of migration decisions and a listing of dependencies associated with the migration decisions. The method further includes the steps of obtaining an indication of a migration error, tracing the migration error to at least a first one of the migration decisions in the data repository, and employing the listing of dependencies to identify at least a second one of the migration decisions, depending on the at least first one of the migration decisions identified in the tracing step, which is impacted by the migration error. Techniques for populating the data repository are also provided.

An exemplary method (which can be computer implemented) for enhancing migration of software applications from a source system environment to a destination system environment includes the steps of translating needs into requirements for the destination system, capturing deployment and configuration of the software applications in the source system environment and the destination system environment in a centralized model, analyzing dependencies between the systems in the source and destination systems to construct a mapping between the requirements and elements of the model, and generating enhanced migration rules, based, at least in part, on the mapping.

摘要:
The present invention describes a method and system for preparing a migration and consolidation of at least one source application to be migrated to or consolidated in at least one heterogeneous server device. A computing system selects at least one prospective target platform component based on an evaluation of at least one source platform component, a requirement of the at least one source application, and a compatibility and an affinity of the at least one prospective target platform component. The computing system collects first metadata of the at least one source platform component and the at least one prospective target platform component. The computing system collects second metadata associated with the migration and consolidation. The computing system groups the first metadata and the second metadata into a RFM (Request For Migration). The computing system prepares and configures a final target platform in accordance with the RFM.
