OL Next

OL Next replatforms legacy mainframe and IBM i programs - COBOL, RPG, and their screen definitions - as legacy code on the JVM you can run and test. Your team keeps editing the same COBOL and RPG; the programs run off the legacy system. Use the web console to import sources, edit, generate and play through screens in the browser, or the CLI for batch conversion.

Data does not have to move on the same day as logic. Play against sample data, or reach host DB2, IMS DL/I and VSAM over direct JDBC or through OL CoreIQ.

Topics

• Getting started: what OL Next does and the import → generate → play loop
• Import sources: AtomIQ, your own files, built-in examples, and batch jobs
• Host connections: the shared connections every application picks its data source from
• Live host data through CoreIQ: DB2, IMS DL/I and VSAM against a real host
• Player and screen flows: running screen, RPC and record programs, Screen APIs, and generated tests
• Settings: global settings, application settings, operation settings
• Flow API and MCP: calling converted programs over REST, OpenAPI and MCP
• CLI: converting from the terminal
• Deployment and access: cloud, on-premises and Lite; signing in; where Help goes
