CipherSoft Announces New Release of Exodus™ - An Automated Solution to migrate Oracle business logic with IBM's DB2 Database

CipherSoft Inc., a leader in conversion tools and services, announced today it’s latest migration offering, Exodus™ version 5.0 - an automated solution for customers who want to migrate their complex Oracle business logic into Java source code and DB2-compliant SQL, ready for deployment with IBM’s DB2 database platform. Exodus™ 5.0 is one of the only migration tools that can automatically migrate Oracle PL/SQL Packages, Procedures, Functions and Triggers to IBM DB2 Stored Procedure language.

As a result of close collaboration with IBM, the latest release of Exodus™ now rapidly migrates Oracle SQL code and server side PL/SQL into Java source code, ready to be deployed together with IBM's DB2 database. Exodus™ is precise, rapid and automatic, which results in the complete migration of key Oracle proprietary SQL syntax into to DB2-compliant syntax. Exodus also provides support for dynamic Oracle SQL within the DB2 environment. Exodus™ has the ability to induce automatic generation of the entire static interface components required to deploy Java code within the DB2 environment.

“Enterprises will realize significant time and cost savings during the migration and testing process with Exodus™. It also serves a growing market of customers who are striving for flexible, standards-based development and deployment,” commented Jennifer McNeill, President & CEO of CipherSoft. “We look forward to promoting our business relationship with IBM and feel that capitalizing on IBM’s proven DB2 UDB environment will be a tremendous business opportunity for IBM, CipherSoft and our customers.”
