Hi Alex, May be am going bit crazy here but just a thought. Can we directly migrate by using any *tool or some logic *(not now , but in the near feature ) which will do the work for us instead of rewriting the code ?, if this will work then , that will save our lot of energies and development time and I would say this will definitely a game changer in the current market.
Thanks for your replies.
