Initial Estimate guideline for a straight green-screen Axiant mig ration.

[VISSERS,WILBERT (HP-NewZealand,ex1)]

> Hello all,    we are planning a migration from Powerhouse version 8.19 on
> HP3000 to Windows/2000 using AXIANT, and before we do the pilot, I wonder
> if any of you can share any comments or have estimate metrics for doing a
> straight 'green screen' migration.  
> 
> Keeping the current Quick screens as they are without change, is one
> option that's attractive to our Customer because many staff are actually
> very happy with their current way of working.  We envisage using AXIANT to
> migrate from PowerHouse on HP3000 to Windows/2000/NT, then using Axiant's
> terminal options to keep the screens as-is, or as-close to the existing as
> possible.   The reason we envisage using Axiant is for its automated
> migration tools, and to be the base for the other (GUI screen) options
> also being considered.  Even if only the green screen option is taken
> initially we expect GUI screens to evolve. 
> 
> The numbers are: 200 tables, 600 quick screens, 100 quiz reports, 140 qtp
> runs.  
> 
> There is good advice around for the other issues such as data that needs
> normalising, Quiz's performance issues with SQL Server, and adding GUI
> functionality; and the job / printing issues; so we can leave those aside
> for now.

Its that minimal-change project that our Customer has asked us to find out
about,  I wonder how fast the automated migration in Axiant is.

Any / all comment on the feasibility of this is most welcome.  Much
appreciate your help.
