The primary functions of DB-Shuttle include its high-powered ability to:
DB-Shuttle reads, classifies and stores your source code, reports and dictionary repository information into its secured SQL Server database. Your software and reports become "data" within the DB-Shuttle database, residing in the DB-Shuttle relational database structure at multiple levels of granularity.
The ATERAS Teams have also developed patent-pending technology within DB-Shuttle to allow our teams to define processing rules for any conversion. Rules are kept at a language level for each language and at a customer level for each conversion. Our skeleton languages allow brand new high-performance structured programs and components to be generated based upon the source code classifications in the DB-Shuttle database for each customer. Our prototyping languages ensure that the rules for processing command conversion are completely and correctly defined, ensuring that every conversion is 100% automated and 100% accurate.
ATERAS designed and developed DB-Shuttle in order to solve the time and cost problem of manual conversions. The Ateras teams performed manual conversions for ten years throughout the 1990's. We began the development of DB-Shuttle in 2000, ensuring that automation and optimization became the basis of the tool. During the first three years of DB-Shuttle's existence, we developed the "engines" that perform the conversions and "snapped on" 17 different language de-constructors and constructors to these engines. Today, we are adding additional rules to the DB-Shuttle engines to provide automated conversion capabilities for additional databases and languages.

Complete Conversion of VSAM to Relational
VSAM files and VSAM-based applications have always presented a unique dilemma when considering conversion to a relational database technology. Automation can make light work of any VSAM conversion, whether the purpose of your conversion is to simply replace your VSAM files with open relational database structures, or whether your goal is to completely replace your VSAM-based COBOL applications with relational databases and newer languages.
