Software AG Enhances ApplinX Legacy Modernization Tool

Software AG has announced enhancements to ApplinX to further support SOA by letting users create Web services from legacy terminal screens and then register those services in a UDDI registry.

Specific upgrades to ApplinX version 5.1 include 'no-coding-required' Web screen creation, the ability to invoke external Web services and the ability to register Web services in any UDDI compliant registry.

Additional enhancements to ApplinX version 5.1 include improved installation and ‘flow’ procedures, as well as general availability of Natural Data Upload, Download and BS2000 Telnet Interface capabilities.

ApplinX lets users combine multiple screens into a single Web page, and automatically generates Web components and Web services based upon XML, SOAP and WSDL standards. These components and services are compatible with Java and .NET environments, and can be readily incorporated into an SOA.
