Common Europe, in collaboration with Common Sweden, is delighted to be holding its annual flagship event, Common Europe Congress, in the friendly city of Gothenburg offering extensive education, networking and relaxation opportunities.
In this session, Victor Klaren shows a new approach to RPG modernization: one that builds on the strength of IBM i.Using the Thinkwise AI-Upcycler, RPG code is analyzed and automatically transformed into a modern application on the Thinkwise Platform. While IBM i and Db2 remain fully in place.You’ll see how at least 90% of an RPG application can be converted in a single step: including data, business rules and process flows.But modernization is only the starting point. We’ll show how this creates a foundation for what’s next: integrating with modern architectures, exposing functionality through APIs, and enabling new interaction patterns such as MCP and agentic AI.
