The current system consists of multiple COBOL programs that manage material inventory, process transactions (obraty - turnovers), and update material quantities across different plants (zavod) and warehouses (sklad). This migration aims to modernize the codebase, improve maintainability, enhance performance, and leverage contemporary development practices while preserving the core business logic and data integrity. + +## Problem Statement +The current AS/400 COBOL system faces several challenges: + +1. **Legacy Technology Stack**: The system relies on IBM i (AS/400) specific COBOL, CL (Control Language), and DDS (Data Description Specifications) which limits the talent pool and increases maintenance costs. + +2. **Platform Dependency**: The tight coupling with AS/400 infrastructure makes it difficult to migrate to modern cloud platforms or containerized environments. + +3. **Limited Integration Capabilities**: The legacy system has limited ability to integrate with modern REST APIs, microservices, and contemporary enterprise systems. + +4. **Development Velocity**: The development cycle for new features is slow due to the specialized nature of the platform and limited tooling support. + +5. **Scalability Concerns**: The current architecture may not scale efficiently to handle growing business demands and data volumes. + +6. **Technical Debt**: Years of maintenance have resulted in accumulated technical debt, making modifications increasingly complex and risky. + +## Objectives + +### Primary Objectives +1. **Migrate Core Business Logic**: Translate all COBOL programs (STAOBR, STAOBR2, STAOBR_2, STAPOR, TABULKY1, TABULKY2, COND1, DUMP_FULL) to Java 18 with equivalent functionality. + +2. **Modernize Data Access**: Replace file-based data access (indexed and sequential files) with a modern relational database system (e.g., PostgreSQL, MySQL, or Oracle) using JPA/Hibernate. + +3. **Maintain Data Integrity**: Ensure all data migration and processing maintains the same level of integrity and consistency as the current system. + +4. **Improve Performance**: Achieve equal or better performance compared to the legacy system, particularly for batch processing operations. + +5. **Enable Cloud Deployment**: Design the Java application to be cloud-ready and deployable in containerized environments (Docker/Kubernetes). + +### Secondary Objectives +1. **Enhance Maintainability**: Implement clean code principles, SOLID design patterns, and comprehensive documentation. + +2. **Improve Testability**: Establish a comprehensive test suite including unit tests (80%+ coverage), integration tests, and end-to-end tests. + +3. **Enable Modern Integration**: Expose functionality through RESTful APIs for integration with other systems. + +4. **Implement Monitoring**: Add application performance monitoring (APM), logging, and metrics collection. + +5. **Support Future Growth**: Design with extensibility in mind to accommodate future business requirements. + +## Requirements + +### Functional Requirements + +#### FR1: Material Inventory Update (STAOBR Program) +- **FR1.1**: Read turnover records (OBRATY) sequentially from the
