A structured legacy to SOA migration process and its evaluation in practice Method Engineering 2014 Presentation by Casper van Schuppen

Background paper “A structured legacy to SOA migration process and its evaluation in practice” By Khadka, R., Saeidi, A., Jansen, S., & Hage, J. Conference proceedings; September 2013 Department of Information and Computing sciences at Utrecht University ServiciFi project

Purpose Legacy systems: potential reuse Migration of legacy to SOA migration Deal with multiple perspectives – Technological – Organizational – Business Both planning and excecution Overall process

Six phases 1. LSU: Legacy System Understanding 2. TSU: Target System Understanding 3. MFD: Migration Feasibility Determination 4. CSI: Candidate Service Identification 5. Implementation 6. D&P: Deployment & Provisioning

Related literature Bennett, 1995: one of first reporting on Legacy to SOA migration Much published on approaches and techniques – SMART method by Lewis, Morris & Smith (2005) – SOAMIG method by Zillman et al. (2011) Prior a SLR by the authors was published resulting in this structured process No citations of this paper, because of recency

PDD Phases clearly visible 15 sub-activities 23 concepts Additional rules But now let’s zoom in!

PDD

Example Legacy system at a bank – COBOL based 1.Use tool to extract features from COBOL code 2.Features and QA’s: transaction handling & security 3.Cost Benefit Analysis: proposed migration realistic? If so: 4.Similar techniques as 1 to extract candidate services 5.Architectural appraoch: produce a redeveloped arch. 6.WSDL: specify discovery and how to interoperate
