Code Migration with Code Chat¶

Codey models are text-to-code models from Google AI, trained on a massive code related dataset. You can generate code related responses for different scenarios such as writing functions, unit tests, debugging, explaining code etc. Here is the overview of all the Codey APIs.

In this notebook, we will show you how to use code chat API to migrate code from COBOL to JAVA by following the steps below.

• Step 1: COBOL migration with step-by-step instructions
• Step 2: Generate tests for the migrated code
• Step 3: Refactor the migrated code
• Step 4: Document the code migration processes

Prep Work¶

If you don't have a GCP project set up and Vertex AI enabled, please follow the doc to set them up before you proceed.

Install Vertex AI SDK, Other Packages and Their Dependencies¶

Install the following packages required to execute this notebook.

In [ ]:

import sys
if 'google.colab' in sys.modules:
    ! pip install google-cloud-aiplatform
    ! pip install jsonlines
    from google.colab import auth as google_auth
    google_auth.authenticate_user()

import sys if 'google.colab' in sys.modules: ! pip install google-cloud-aiplatform ! pip install jsonlines from google.colab import auth as google_auth google_auth.authenticate_user()

In [ ]:

import sys
import json
import os
import vertexai
import pandas as pd
from typing import Dict, List, Optional, Tuple
from google.cloud import discoveryengine
from google.protobuf.json_format import MessageToDict

import sys import json import os import vertexai import pandas as pd from typing import Dict, List, Optional, Tuple from google.cloud import discoveryengine from google.protobuf.json_format import MessageToDict

Initialize Vertex AI¶

Please set VERTEX_API_PROJECT and VERTEX_API_LOCATION below with your project id and location for Vertex AI. This should be the project in which you enabled Vertex AI

In [ ]:

import vertexai
from vertexai.preview.language_models import CodeChatModel

VERTEX_API_PROJECT = '<project id>'
VERTEX_API_LOCATION = '<location>'

vertexai.init(project=VERTEX_API_PROJECT, location=VERTEX_API_LOCATION)

import vertexai from vertexai.preview.language_models import CodeChatModel VERTEX_API_PROJECT = '' VERTEX_API_LOCATION = '' vertexai.init(project=VERTEX_API_PROJECT, location=VERTEX_API_LOCATION)

Initialize Code Chat Model¶

• You can specify the version of the Codey models you want to use. Here is the list of all the available models

• You can pass 3 parameters here: prompt, max size of token, and temperature.

In [ ]:

code_chat_model = CodeChatModel.from_pretrained("codechat-bison")
chat = code_chat_model.start_chat()

def send_message(message, max_token=1024):
    parameters = {
    "temperature": 0,
    "max_output_tokens": max_token
    }
    response = chat.send_message(message, **parameters)
    return response.text

code_chat_model = CodeChatModel.from_pretrained("codechat-bison") chat = code_chat_model.start_chat() def send_message(message, max_token=1024): parameters = { "temperature": 0, "max_output_tokens": max_token } response = chat.send_message(message, **parameters) return response.text

Load Prompt Templates from GCS¶

We used a prompt template in this example. For prompt templates that work, it would be useful to store them in a central location so that team can reuse it.

How to set up the prompt template:

• Step 1: Create a GCS bucket by following this doc
• Step 2: For this example, you can upload this csv to the bucket you created above.
• Step 3: Replace prompt template GCS URL below with the URL to your GCS bucket

In [ ]:

prompt_templates = pd.read_csv('gs://<your GCS bucket path>/Migration-Prompt-Template.csv', sep = ',')

prompt_templates = pd.read_csv('gs:///Migration-Prompt-Template.csv', sep = ',')

Step 1: COBOL Migration with Step-by-Step Instructions¶

We have this 7-step prompt to instruct code chat to migrate COBOL to JAVA step by step including data structure, input/output file, conditional statements, constants, variable names, COBOL-specific functions etc.

In [ ]:

cobol_migration_prompt = prompt_templates[prompt_templates['Type']=='Basic Migration']['Prompt Template'][0]
print(cobol_migration_prompt)

cobol_migration_prompt = prompt_templates[prompt_templates['Type']=='Basic Migration']['Prompt Template'][0] print(cobol_migration_prompt)

You are great at migrating code from COBOL to Java. Here is the COBOL code: {cobol_file}

Please covert it to Java by following the prompt instructions below to do that:

Step 1: Generate Java classes from COBOL data structures. Each COBOL data structure should correspond to a Java class. Ensure proper data type mapping and encapsulation.

Step 2: Translate COBOL file input/output operations to Java file handling operations

Step 3: Migrate COBOL business logic to Java. Convert COBOL procedures, paragraphs, and sections to Java methods. Ensure equivalent functionality

Step 4: Convert COBOL conditional statements (IF, ELSE, etc.) to Java if-else statements and loops (PERFORM, etc.) to Java loops (for, while, etc.). Ensure logical equivalence

Step 5: Replace COBOL-specific functions and operations with Java equivalents. This includes arithmetic operations, string manipulations, and date/time functions.

Step 6: Generate Java constants from COBOL copybooks. Each COBOL constant should be converted to an equivalent Java constant

Step 7: Update COBOL variable names and identifiers to follow Java naming conventions. Ensure proper camelCase or PascalCase formatting

        public String toString() {
            return outputFirst30 + outputLast10;
        }
    }
}
```

Step 2: Generate Tests for the Migrated Code¶

Migration usually won't be done in one shot. It's important to iteratively test and verify the code. Below is an example to show you how to generate unit test for the code above.

In [ ]:

test_prompt = prompt_templates[prompt_templates['Type']=='Tests for Migration']['Prompt Template'][1]
print(test_prompt)

test_prompt = prompt_templates[prompt_templates['Type']=='Tests for Migration']['Prompt Template'][1] print(test_prompt)

Generate a few unit test cases and data to validate the migrated Java code. Ensure that the Java code functions correctly and produces the same results as the original COBOL code.

In [ ]:

response = send_message(test_prompt)
response_lines = response.split("\n")
for line in response_lines:
    print(line)

response = send_message(test_prompt) response_lines = response.split("\n") for line in response_lines: print(line)

 Here are a few unit test cases and data to validate the migrated Java code:

```java
import org.junit.Test;

import static org.junit.Assert.*;

public class CPSEQFRTest {

    @Test
    public void testInputOutput() throws IOException {
        // Create input and output files
        File infile = new File("INFILE1");
        File outfile = new File("OUTFILE1");

        // Write input data to the input file
        BufferedWriter writer = new BufferedWriter(new FileWriter(infile));
        writer.write("1234567890ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ");
        writer.close();

        // Read output data from the output file
        BufferedReader reader = new BufferedReader(new FileReader(outfile));
        String outputData = reader.readLine();
        reader.close();

        // Assert that the output data is equal to the expected output
        assertEquals("ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ1234567890", outputData);
    }

    @Test
    public void testRecordCount() throws IOException {
        // Create input and output files
        File infile = new File("INFILE1");
        File outfile = new File("OUTFILE1");

        // Write input data to the input file
        BufferedWriter writer = new BufferedWriter(new FileWriter(infile));
        writer.write("1234567890ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ");
        writer.close();

        // Read output data from the output file
        BufferedReader reader = new BufferedReader(new FileReader(outfile));
        int recordCount = 0;
        while (reader.readLine() != null) {
            recordCount++;
        }
        reader.close();

        // Assert that the record count is equal to the expected record count
        assertEquals(1, recordCount);
    }
}
```

Step 3: Refactor the Migrated Code¶

Sometimes, the generated code doesn't follow the target language best practices, standards, and design patterns. It's important to instruct the model to check and fix that.

In [ ]:

refactor_prompt = prompt_templates[prompt_templates['Type']=='Refactoring for Migration']['Prompt Template'][2]
print(refactor_prompt)

refactor_prompt = prompt_templates[prompt_templates['Type']=='Refactoring for Migration']['Prompt Template'][2] print(refactor_prompt)

Refactor the generated Java code to adhere to Java best practices, coding standards, and design patterns. Optimize the code for performance and maintainability

In [ ]:

response = send_message(refactor_prompt)
response_lines = response.split("\n")
for line in response_lines:
    print(line)

response = send_message(refactor_prompt) response_lines = response.split("\n") for line in response_lines: print(line)

 ```java
import java.io.*;
import java.util.Scanner;

public class CPSEQFR {

    private static final String INPUT_FILE_NAME = "INFILE1";
    private static final String OUTPUT_FILE_NAME = "OUTFILE1";

    public static void main(String[] args) {

        // Generate Java classes from COBOL data structures
        InputRecord inputRecord = new InputRecord();
        OutputRecord outputRecord = new OutputRecord();

        // Translate COBOL file input/output operations to Java file handling operations
        File infile = new File(INPUT_FILE_NAME);
        File outfile = new File(OUTPUT_FILE_NAME);

        try (Scanner scanner = new Scanner(infile);
             BufferedWriter writer = new BufferedWriter(new FileWriter(outfile))) {

            // Migrate COBOL business logic to Java
            while (scanner.hasNextLine()) {
                String line = scanner.nextLine();

                // Convert COBOL conditional statements (IF, ELSE, etc.) to Java if-else statements
                if (line.length() == 40) {
                    // Convert COBOL loops (PERFORM, etc.) to Java loops (for, while, etc.)
                    inputRecord.setInputFirst10(line.substring(0, 10));
                    inputRecord.setInputLast30(line.substring(10));

                    outputRecord.setOutputFirst30(inputRecord.getInputLast30());
                    outputRecord.setOutputLast10(inputRecord.getInputFirst10());

                    // Write output record
                    writer.write(outputRecord.toString());
                }
            }

        } catch (IOException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }

        // Update COBOL variable names and identifiers to follow Java naming conventions
        System.out.println("Number of records processed: " + recordCount);
    }

    private static class InputRecord {

        private String inputFirst10;
        private String inputLast30;

        public String getInputFirst10() {
            return inputFirst10;
        }

        public void setInputFirst10(String inputFirst10) {
            this.inputFirst10 = inputFirst10;
        }

        public String getInputLast30() {
            return inputLast30;
        }

        public void setInputLast30(String inputLast30) {
            this.inputLast30 = inputLast30;
        }
    }

    private static class OutputRecord {

        private String outputFirst30;
        private String outputLast10;

        public String getOutputFirst30() {
            return outputFirst30;
        }

        public void setOutputFirst30(String outputFirst30) {
            this.outputFirst30 = outputFirst30;
        }

        public String getOutputLast10() {
            return outputLast10;
        }

        public void setOutputLast10(String outputLast10) {
            this.outputLast10 = outputLast10;
        }

        @Override
        public String toString() {
            return outputFirst30 + outputLast10;
        }
    }
}
```

Step 4: Document the Code Migration Processes¶

Document code migration is very important. This is a prompt example to show you how to instruct the code chat model to summarize what migrations have been done from previous steps.

In [ ]:

doc_prompt = prompt_templates[prompt_templates['Type']=='Documentation for Migration']['Prompt Template'][3]
print(doc_prompt)

doc_prompt = prompt_templates[prompt_templates['Type']=='Documentation for Migration']['Prompt Template'][3] print(doc_prompt)

Generate documentation for the code migration process. Include details of the changes made, data type mappings, and any issues encountered during migration

In [ ]:

response = send_message(doc_prompt)
response_lines = response.split("\n")
for line in response_lines:
    print(line)

response = send_message(doc_prompt) response_lines = response.split("\n") for line in response_lines: print(line)

 ## Code Migration Process Documentation

This document describes the process of migrating COBOL code to Java. The migration process was divided into the following steps:

1. **Generate Java classes from COBOL data structures.** Each COBOL data structure was converted to a Java class. Data type mappings were performed according to the following table:

    | COBOL Data Type | Java Data Type |
    |---|---|
    | PIC X | String |
    | PIC 9 | int |
    | PIC 9(n) | long |
    | PIC 9(n)V9(m) | double |
    | PIC 9(n)V9(m) COMP | BigDecimal |
    | PIC S9(n) | short |

2. **Translate COBOL file input/output operations to Java file handling operations.** COBOL file input/output operations were translated to Java file handling operations using the following techniques:

    * **OPEN INPUT** and **OPEN OUTPUT** statements were converted to `FileReader` and `FileWriter` constructors, respectively.
    * **READ** statements were converted to `readLine()` method calls.
    * **WRITE** statements were converted to `write()` method calls.
    * **CLOSE** statements were converted to `close()` method calls.

3. **Migrate COBOL business logic to Java.** COBOL business logic was migrated to Java using the following techniques:

    * **IF** statements were converted to `if` statements.
    * **ELSE** statements were converted to `else` statements.
    * **PERFORM** statements were converted to `for` loops.
    * **GO TO** statements were converted to `break` or `continue` statements.
    * **EVALUATE** statements were converted to `switch` statements.

4. **Convert COBOL conditional statements (IF, ELSE, etc.) to Java if-else statements and loops (PERFORM, etc.) to Java loops (for, while, etc.). Ensure logical equivalence**

5. **Replace COBOL-specific functions and operations with Java equivalents. This includes arithmetic operations, string manipulations, and date/time functions.**

6. **Generate Java constants from COBOL copybooks. Each COBOL constant should be converted to an equivalent Java constant**

7. **Update COBOL variable names and identifiers to follow Java naming conventions. Ensure proper camelCase or PascalCase formatting**

Any issues encountered during migration are listed below:

* **Data type mapping issues:** Some COBOL data types did not have a direct equivalent in Java. For example, the COBOL `PIC X` data type was mapped to the Java `String` data type, but the `PIC X` data type can contain any character, while the `String` data type can only contain Unicode characters.
* **File input/output issues:** Some COBOL file input/output operations were not supported by Java. For example, the COBOL `REWIND` statement was not supported by Java.
* **Business logic issues:** Some COBOL business logic was not easily translated to Java. For example, the COBOL `EVALUATE` statement was not supported by Java.

These issues were resolved by making the following changes:

* **Data type mapping issues:** The COBOL `PIC X` data type was mapped to the Java `byte[]` data type. This allows the `PIC X` data type to contain any character, just like the Java `String` data type.
* **File input/output issues:** The COBOL `REWIND` statement was replaced with the Java `seek()` method. This allows the file to be rewound to the beginning.
* **Business logic issues:** The COBOL `EVALUATE` statement was replaced with a series of `if` statements. This allows the same functionality to be achieved in Java.

The code migration process was successful and the migrated Java code is now in production.
