Clarion Conversion Assistant 1.06

Clarion Conversion Assistant, developed by Robert Paresi, is a specialized utility that streamlines the modernization and migration of Clarion applications. It analyzes your .APP and .DCT assets, maps dependencies and embeds, and guides you through a predictable, low‑risk conversion to newer Clarion versions or alternative platforms—without losing business logic or data integrity.

Key capabilities:

• Automated project assessment: Inventories procedures, template chains (ABC/Legacy), embeds, third‑party components, and external dependencies, then highlights risk areas and quick wins.
• Dictionary and data migration: Converts TPS to SQL (e.g., SQL Server, PostgreSQL, MySQL), maps data types, keys, and relationships, generates migration scripts, and validates results.
• Code transformation and refactoring: Updates deprecated syntax, normalizes naming, suggests modern replacements, and generates wrapper code to preserve behavior during phased upgrades.
• UI modernization: Maps common controls and menu/toolbar patterns to modern equivalents, improves DPI awareness, and flags custom UI elements that need manual attention.
• Conversion playbooks and wizards: Step‑by‑step guidance and reproducible checklists tailored to your project profile and target environment.
• Extensible rules engine: Add custom rules and mappings to fit your coding standards and third‑party libraries.
• Verification and reporting: Build and output diffs, dependency maps, and progress reports that make reviews and sign‑offs straightforward.
• Safety and control: Non‑destructive by design—creates backups, supports dry runs, and integrates with Git/SVN for traceable changes.
• Batch and CLI support: Automate repetitive tasks across large portfolios and integrate with your CI/CD pipeline.
• Documentation and best practices: Embedded tips and guidance for Clarion 11 and common migration scenarios.

Ideal for teams maintaining mission‑critical Clarion codebases, independent developers taking over legacy projects, and organizations planning phased migrations, Clarion Conversion Assistant reduces risk and effort, shortens timelines, and helps you deliver a clean, maintainable, and future‑ready application with confidence.
