Port Key

S7 Portkey is the latest cross-platform product from the S7 stables. It is your key to port C/C++ applications on to Linux. S7 Portkey analyzes an application and reports the issues that need to be addressed before and during the porting process. When the issues are easy to fix, S7 Portkey automatically completes the process, thus reducing your manual effort.

When the issues are relatively difficult to fix, S7 Portkey informs you of options and also suggests alternative technologies on Linux. These alternatives, which are constantly updated, come from an exhaustive database built from the several years of S7’s cross-platform expertise. S7 Portkey is an Eclipse plug-in built on top of C/C++ Development Tools (CDT), which is fast gaining popularity as an industrial strength C++ development environment. This enables the developers to have access to all the productivity features of CDT. The S7 Portkey also provides lucid graphical views to assess the complexity of the port, thereby simplifying the understanding of porting issues.

The S7 Portkey helps in migrating the following-

1.UNIX to Linux
» HPUX to Redhat Linux, SUSE Linux, all other form of Linux and vice-versa
» Sun Solaris to SUSE Linux, Redhat Linux, any other form of Linux and vice-versa

» SGI to SUSE Linux, Redhat Linux, any other form of Linux and vice-versa
» SCO to Redhat Linux, SUSE Linux, any other form of Linux and vice-versa

2.One flavor of UNIX to another flavor of UNIX
» HPUX to Sun Solaris, IBM AIX, SCO, SGI Indy / irix,
» Solaris to HPUX, AIX, SCO, SGI Indy / irix
» IBM AIX to HPUX, Sun Solaris, SCO, SGI Indy / irix,
» SGI Indy / irix to HPUX, Sun Solaris, SCO, SGI Indy / irix, IBM AIX
