Re: Migration of Mainframe to other plat form.

Hi James, More to consider - Most businesses have legal holding requirements for at least some, perhaps a lot of customer data, business tax data, employee data, retirement data, and other benefits data. Harvesting and converting that data - along with the data dictionaries necessary to

Re: Migration of Mainframe to other plat form.

One thing the legal department needs to be asked about: How long do they have to be able to reproduce reports/documents or be able to do a report? Now, will the new system be able to process the old system's data for that period, or will some arrangement need to be made to do this with their

Re: job output into dataset

SDSF has a REXX interface which is documented in the SDSF OPERATION and CUSTOMIZATION manual. I have a clist that extracts certain SYSOUT datasets from various jobs on the output queue and writes them out to datasets. I can send you the routine if that would help. -Original Message-

Re: Migration of Mainframe to other plat form.

Others have given good advice. This is just observations and comments. Things to think about. Note: You cannot translate all functions in running on mainframe to a different platform. The process needs to be written according to the platform it will run on. If you have IMS, you need to

First, You cannot "cut" messages from the task. You can only spin it. I am sure there are consultants you can hire to help you write this code. This is a friendly list, but you are asking for some effort to be done. You can have JES spin the job at the number of lines you want, it does not

Seen this as my last gig, same company promising to 'emulate' the entire enterprise, no code changes, CICS, JES2 - the folks runing the migration allow the company three failed attempts before they started listening to reason. our biggest workload was DB2/CICS, so it was determined that DB2

Thanks for all suggestion. Currently, we don’t have any third party product for doing this task. So, my idea is to create rexx program, which keep checking ( once in day) particular address spaces like IMS, CICS, or any other which are continuously running in system and find that if the lines are

How is the name for UID=0 chosen in directory listing in Unix System Services

Dear Listers, I have 55 users (mostly for deamons, but not all) having UID=0. When I do a ls -l on any directory, I see the files belonging to root (owner uid = 0) are attributed to belong to one user ID out of that list of 55. I know the UID is what is holding the single truth about

Migration of Mainframe to other plat form.

Hey I know this here might be a bit of a nasty question to ask Have a customer who has intensions of migrate to another platform than IBM Mainframe, don't know what ? They have asked MetaWare to be the stakeholder in this . At the moment it is in the very very beginning of he process. I think
