Legacy code doesn't have to mean eternal tech debt. In this session, we will walk through the real world journey of migrating BusinessPlus workflows away from VBScript and into a modern, robust C# architecture.

We’ll skip the high level theory and get straight into the practical mechanics of a massive code migration. You’ll see exactly how we decompiled and traced legacy systems (from .DLL to Intermediate Language), how to navigate the official Powersource WF migration docs, and most importantly a side by side, 1:1 comparison of old VBScript code versus its battle-tested C# equivalents.

The 1:1 Conversion Code Blueprint: Direct visual comparisons of old VBScript workflows vs. new C# implementations, featuring essential Namespaces (like using IFAS.Common;) and battle tested helper methods.

Architecture & Naming Standards: Establish general naming principles and assembly reference frameworks to ensure your new C# environment remains clean and maintainable.

Automated Documentation (SQL to Wiki.js): Learn how we used Python to parse production workflows (tracking version histories, status flags and automatically generate living documentation in Wiki.js.

The Migration Roadmap: A look at how to audit, track, and prioritize active workflows (such as AP APRV CLAY or AD_DOWNLOAD) to ensure zero downtime during a major tech stack evolution. Kanban.

Since you are currently drowning in legacy scripts (we are too), planning for future modernization efforts, Fiscal year rolling, open enrolling, (never payroll skipping), check printing, year ending, and troubleshooting, sometimes all in the same day… you will leave this session with a concrete conversion guide and the automation strategies needed to finish up your C# to Workflow conversion and get ready for CDD. Think of this as a dress rehearsal for hell.
