I have a fairly large PB application that my management wants to convert to ASP.NET Core. Most of our .NET applications use Entity Framework and we have not yet looked at PowerServer and the .NET DataStore. I wanted to know how difficult would it be to start with the PowerScript migration tool to first go to the .NET DataStore to get started on the APIs and then over time refactor the backend to EF?

Going straight to EF is a total rewrite for us and I believe by using the Appeon migration tool, I can save a lot of the business logic. Would this be a safe assumption?

Thanks,

Chris

Hi Christopher,

By employing the C# migration tools, you'll be able to save a lot of time in the implementation of the API. Mainly because it will convert the PB code to C# and scaffold the services and controllers automatically. If done correctly, you'll be later able to replace the data layer with EF Core just by reimplementing the data services' interfaces in terms of EF and injecting them at the application startup.

Edit: of course how easily this can be accomplished will depend on how well abstracted your application is. That is, the UI code should not be mixed with the business logic code you want to migrate.

Hope this helps.

Regards,
Francisco
