  Company ports COBOL to Windows Azure cloud
Time: 07:36 EST/12:36 GMT | News Source: SD Times | Posted By: Kenneth van Surksum

From mainframes to “modernized” Web-based front ends, COBOL applications remain mission-critical for many enterprises. Now those same apps have a future in the cloud, says application management tool maker Micro Focus.

The company showed at the Professional Developers Conference a mockup of its Customer Information Control System transaction manager running on Microsoft’s Windows Azure service platform. Porting the CICS transaction manager to Azure lets COBOL applications move to the cloud, said Micro Focus' CTO Mark Haynie.

That’s possible because the APIs between COBOL applications and the CICS transaction manager are well defined, he said. “We layer those [APIs] on top of Azure, so [the transaction manager] works the same running in Azure and on premises, allowing for the reuse of COBOL business logic.”
