Abstract
An apparatus and method port business logic between platforms in a non-platform specific manner to reduce the cost of porting and maintaining software across multiple platforms. In the preferred embodiments, a logic porting mechanism ports business logic of a first platform to business logic for a second platform using a multi-platform common mapping file. In other preferred embodiments, qualified business logic is identified and needed information is extracted and then the business logic from a first platform is mapped to business logic for a second platform using a common mapping file.
