JCL support — It is now possible to generate and execute JCL scripts on the fly within the runtime context. This feature adds flexibility and automation in batch job processing. We've updated the support for JCL utilities in the runtime, with a set of improvements to SORT, ICETOOL, INFUTILB, and IDCAMS (see details in the following sections). These enhancements offer more robust and efficient data processing capabilities.

Binding Directories and Activation Groups Support for AS/400 Modernized Applications — Binding Directories enhance system organization by managing exported procedure references, while Activation Groups streamline execution context management. These features improve precision and reliability, robust resource management, and optimized system interactions. The result is a more resilient, organized, and efficient system for modernized AS400 applications.

Dependencies updates: — Update of all frontend frameworks (BAC/JAC & modernized applications) to the long-term support (LTS) versions. The update of Angular from v17 to v18 introduces a new reactivity model and streamlined state management, reducing complexity and improving application maintenance for developers. Node.JS has also been updated from v20 to v22.

JCL — Added ability to invoke a batch job from online programs. We added a service to handle JCL script stored in a dedicated TDQueue when a modernized program generates it on the fly. This service makes it possible to reconstruct the JCL message, refactors this message into a groovy script, and runs this groovy script.

ADABAS — Added support for ADABAS program. With this support, the runtime emulates the ADABAS commands for database access (available for Oracle only).

Dependencies updates: Console applications (BAC and JAC), and modernized applications are now running on Bootstrap 5. The AWS Blu Age Runtime is now powered by Spring Boot 3.3.5 framework.

Performance: Improved the performance of the state machines execution (up to 10x faster), thanks to a new implementation that overcomes a performance degradation after upgrading the Spring State Machine library from version 2.5.1 to 4.0.0. This upgrade was not optional as 2.5.1 version was no more maintained and contains Critical and High CVEs. It includes a runtime state machine implementation on the platform to a new library, with a lightweight and efficient state machine implementation, free of CVE, and with better overall performance.

Simplification of database access: Completed a significant overhaul of the components used to access the database, including DAOs, JPA entities, DDS DataSimplifier entities, and Mappers. This redesign was driven by the need to provide better support for the OVRDBF (Override Database File) feature common in AS400 projects. It allows to handle more cases with a simplified architecture for the generated code.

We improved transformation performance, especially for large projects with over 30 million lines of code. We implemented a set of improvements and the results we obtained showed a time reduction of over 150%, and runs that completed in minutes instead of hours. The key improvement we implemented is the configuration of a timeout mechanism to limit the maximum time allocated for analysis so as to skip files with detected issues. We mark skipped files so that you can investigate them later if necessary.

We added support for a distributed lock management system for AS400 projects. In a High Availability environment (multi-node) where multiple instances of the application target the same database, maintaining data consistency throughout the life cycle of these instances is a significant challenge. To effectively address this challenge, we added Redis as a shared and external caching server to coordinate among all instances when running in batch mode.

We added a new dynamic pagination feature for the table component. The goal of this feature is to improve the response time and reduce memory usage for tables with a large number of rows. This feature allows the table component to only load part of the data, and to fetch more records on demand as you navigate through the pages. To further improve the experience, the platform also supports the prefetching of data. This new dynamic pagination feature provides a more efficient and responsive user experience for applications with large data sets.

To address a key challenge that comes up frequently, we added support for nested COBOL programs. Previously, the workaround for modernizing nested COBOL programs involved manually separating programs into different files, linking them through the linkage section, and making them call each other with the necessary arguments. This process was not only time-consuming but also error-prone. You can now modernize nested COBOL programs without the need for manual separation.
