Porting multilevel multilanguage client-server applications to support 64-bit platforms

Brief

The major challenges in the porting project:

• data types mismatch between third-party components and the core system
• data misalignment in application to ODBC binding
• data inconsistencies while using external mediators
• platform specific implementation caused by 64 bit specifics for Windows and Unix platforms

• creating interface subsystems isolating component specific interfaces from direct usage
• using conditional logic for accounting differences in data model for Windows and Unix platforms
• using Data Serialization code that supports same output format on both platforms
