  • 1.  Informix 4GL to Aubit4gl migration

    Posted 5 days ago

    Hi,
    We have a huge Informix 4GL-based project, RDS on SPARC Solaris.
    Our goal is to migrate it to x86 Linux.
    A problem with Aubit4gl is that it does not have same scripts as I4GL that we use.
    Does anybody have an experience of porting a large I4GL project to Aubit4gl?

    Yep, I moved an entire ERP system to Aubit, for the most part it was changing the LD_LIBRARY_PATH, switching out c4gl.  The system was all make files so no syspmg4gl (??) database

    A couple of 4gl built in are missing, upper or lower (AFAIR).  Easy fix, just create your own in the audit library.

    External C calls where moved to inline C in the 4gl - it was just easier

    Performance wise, with a few exceptions no significant differences.

    Bottom line, if you have good build env it is a relatively easy change

    Cheers
    Paul

    Hi,

    How difficult is debug with Aubit? 

    Considering the original 4GL fgldb , the CUI interface, shortcuts, trace, etc is quite easy for any developer to use.

    With Aubit, I saw on they website the debugger is with gdb, which as far I know will debug the code at C level. 
    I Think that will not be friendly like fgldb or even easy for a developer without C skills.
    Did I get the wrong impression?

    Hello Cesar,

    How difficult is debug with Aubit? 

    Did you consider to try Genero and our new VS Code extension?

    Migrated our legacy 4gl to aubit some years ago. Went mostly fine. Ran into some subtle differences in input array in forms, and had to change a few forms. Already had a makefile based build environment, so not too difficult there.
