titleFrom reading the code of the converter, how could a more detailed map of LLP server components be done?

Go have a look at CHAN/CHANllpSource.lua

. This code has the mapping of configuration information from Iguana 6 into Iguana X.

titleSome areas that we are expanding on

  • This is a work in progress. What we are doing is going through a practical process of exploring how in practice customers use Iguana. What are the important use patterns that we have to make easy to bring across into the new system.

titleWhere is this going?

We are optimistic we can automate most of the work in converting Iguana 6 to Iguana X code.

It makes it possible to customize the script to target specific problems that might only have an impact on your

user

use cases of Iguana

. More to say about that later

For now we are working with a number of customers to use this tool to accelerate the process of identifying and eliminating gaps and making Iguana X a practical platform to migrate to.
