Assignment description
Assignment
We are requiring a consultant to replace an existing application solution at our plant. The application is programmed in virtual basic and handles the transfer of test data file in .dat format to a server. On a local computer 2nd part of the application is installed which transfers certain data from the files into a SQL data base and archived the processed file on the server.
As the server and the application are out of service we are planning to replace the existing solution with a server based solution replacing the computer. Furthermore, we are planning to update the application from virtual basic to a “modern” language (python, C or similar).
Assess the present environment and propose a replacement for the existing Virtual basic application migrating to a new language (i.e. – .NET / Python). The application is for moving test data files to a network drive with a server- based solution for handling the movement and archiving of the files as well as the processing of the critical data and transfer to the existing production database.
Creation of a manual to enable self- service of the application after completion.
