What’s new?
Please see RDBMS Move to Cloud - 1.0 - Release Notes for more information.
Description
This extension provides a dedicated set of quality rules (i.e. recommendations) that have been designed to help plan a modernization project for taking an on premise RDBMS to the Cloud or to migrate to another RDBMS. You should install this extension:
- If you need to have a set of recommendations because you plan to move from Oracle Database to Oracle Cloud
- If you need to have a set of recommendations because you plan to move from Oracle / DB2 / SQL Server Database to PostgreSQL
- If you need to have a set of recommendations because you plan to move from DB2 Database to MySQL
Results are shown in CAST Imaging and the CAST Engineering Dashboard. You can view the rules provided in this extension in the “Structural Rules” section below.
When in the same analysis result you mix 2 RDBMS files, the rules for both RDBMS are calculated. E.g.: analyzing DB2 and Oracle SQL files will trigger Oracle and DB2 quality rules.
When vendor is not detected and file is considered ANSI sql, those quality rules are not calculated.
Function Point, Quality and Sizing support
This extension provides the following support:
- Function Points (transactions): a green tick indicates that OMG Function Point counting and Transaction Risk Index are supported
