[Quoted] +1 Software Engineering based in Camarillo, California, is pleased to announce its new product: +1Copybook For Oracle. +1Copybook reads in COBOL copybooks and converts them into ready-to-use Oracle SQL*Loader Control Files and CREATE TABLE scripts. +1Copybook is offered both as a new product and as a new +1 service.
The process to convert copybooks into control files is an intensive, error prone,and time consuming task. But today with +1Copybook, the process is automated, detailed analysis is performed, HTML mapping documents are generated, and overall turn around time when changes are needed is significantly faster. +1Copybook verifies that all COBOL copybook columns are used and that all Oracle columns are initialized, an important check which many DBAs may not normally have time to perform.
Typically it takes 1-2 weeks to write control files based on COBOL copybooks. But this task can take longer because a DBA cannot work just on creating the control files when other higher priority tasks are present. As such, a 1-2 week task may take 4-6 weeks or more on average and may impact the overall schedule of the project. Programmers can be delayed because there is no data in the test database to work with.
But with +1Copybook and its ability to generate the CREATE TABLE scripts, DBAs can create tables and begin to load data on the same day the copybook and the associated data are available. This can speed the overall project schedule significantly. In addition, +1Copybook works with +1WebDesc to provide details about the database in HTML.
