Analyze the NetView REXX Procedures

A completed migration can look almost seamless to end users of NCCF; however, CA NetMaster NetView Emulation is technically different from native NetView REXX. Although the emulation includes many of the most popular Tivoli NetView commands, functions, and pipe stages, not everything will work unchanged. Obviously, less work is required to migrate NetView REXX code that already uses the more common coding options.

A careful analysis helps you estimate how well the NetView REXX procedures fit the NetMaster REXX environment. Analyzing the NetView REXX procedures is the heart of the migration effort. After all the theories and promises, the analysis answers the following question:

“How compatible is my specific NetView REXX code under the CA NetMaster NetView REXX emulation environment?”

This in turn helps you answer the next question:

“How much work will I have to do to change my NetView REXX code?”
