Synergy DIBOL can run on multiple platforms and transfer encrypted data both OpenVMS, linux and windows from each other.
You could run oracle on linux or windows and link it to your apps on OpenVMS. Synergy DIBOL can bridge oracle databases to your cobol or other apps.
Would be cheaper than a rewrite.

Data Access Anywhere

The Synergy/DE suite of development tools enables you to access and manage data locally or remotely and through popular third-party applications and RDBMs.
xfSeries

Use xfServerPlus and xfNetLink to access Synergy routines and data remotely from a .NET, Java, or Synergy client. Using a proprietary data transfer protocol, xfServerPlus speeds network communication and handles the remote execution of Synergy routines.

Remotely access Synergy DBMS databases from Synergy applications using xfServer. A high-performance data server, xfServer supports encryption for the secure transfer of sensitive data across networks, offers prefetching and buffering of records to improve performance, and includes remote debugging tools to facilitate troubleshooting.
Connectivity Series

xfODBC delivers easy access to Synergy DBMS data from third-party ODBC-enabled applications, such as Microsoft Office and SAP Crystal Reports. With xfODBC, you can offer robust Windows-based analysis and reporting capabilities for Synergy data.

SQL Connection provides an open gateway from Synergy applications to third-party relational database management systems like Oracle, MySQL, and Microsoft SQL Server. Use SQL Connection to bring the powerful features of relational databases to your users.
