  1. Vancouver Utilities - Overview • Mainframe Migration Tools to convert • JCL, COBOL,& DATA • General Purpose Data Utilities • For Unix, Linux, or Windows • Replacements for Mainframe Utilities • SORT/SYNCSORT replaced by uvsort • IEBGENER/IDCAMS replaced by uvcp www.uvsoftware.ca

  2. UV Software Inc. • Headquarters in Vancouver Canada • Owen Townsend (president) • owen@uvsoftware.ca • www.uvsoftware.ca • Mainframe conversion software • Over 40 successful conversions • since UVSI founded in 1993 www.uvsoftware.ca

  3. TxMQ Partner with UV Software • IBM Business Partner in US & Canada • Servicing fortune 500 clients since 1991 • Mainframe sales, installation, training • Assisting migrations to open systems • Offices in Amherst NY & Markham ON • Contact: scott@txmq.com • Website: www.txmq.com www.uvsoftware.ca

  4. Travancore Software Solutions • Onshore/Offshore IT software services • Mainframe support, web enabling, etc • Partnering with UV Software & TxMQ • For Mainframe migrations to open systems • HQ Trivandrum, Kerala, India • Contact Shyam Subramanyam • Email: Shyam@travancore.net • Website: www.travancore.net www.uvsoftware.ca

  5. Why Migrate to Unix/Linux ? • Increase Performance • runs that took hours on old mainframes • take minutes on new unix/linux machines • Reduce Cost: • Linux systems less expensive than proprietary Mainframes • Reduce Risk: • migrating existing systems is less risky than rewrites or new package implementations • Preserve legacy logic: • Proven & customized over many years www.uvsoftware.ca

  6. 5 Parts to Conversion • JCL conversion to Korn shell scripts • COBOL porting to Micro Focus • Data conversion EBCDIC to ASCII • VU Testing & Debugging Aids • Mainframe Data Utility Replacements www.uvsoftware.ca

  7. Conversion Methods • Mass conversion of all files in directories • Scripts convert thousands of files quickly • 1000 JCLs (2 minutes) • 250 programs (3 minutes) • Script to compile 250 programs (2 minutes) • Generate 200 data conversion jobs (1 min) • Execute 200 file conversions (5 gig, 1 hour) www.uvsoftware.ca

  8. Free Sample Conversions • Email sample JCL for conversion • Korn shell scripts returned within 48 hours • Send 1 zip file including: • Up to 10 JCLs (representative variety) • Any referenced PROCs • Any control cards (SYSIN library modules) • for SORT FIELDS, IKJEFT01 params, etc • Email to owen@uvsoftware.ca www.uvsoftware.ca

  9. Conversion Plan – phase 1 • Training & Conversion jumpstart • 3 or 4 weeks of onsite assistance • by UVSI, TxMQ, or Travancore personnel • Train customer team to use conversion tools • Convert all JCLs, COBOLs,& Data files • Test/debug 1st few JCL/scripts & programs www.uvsoftware.ca

  10. Conversion Plan – Phase 2 • Testing & Debugging • 3 to 12 months depending on project size • By customer conversion team • Aided by UVSI, TXMQ, or Travancore • As much or as little help desired • Travancore can supply trained personnel at economical rates www.uvsoftware.ca

  11. Conversion Plan – Phase 3 • Going Live • Usually over a weekend • Aided by UVSI, TXMQ, or Travancore as desired www.uvsoftware.ca

  12. End of Conversion Overview • Thank You for your interest in the Vancouver Utilities for Mainframe Conversion • Also see Conversion Details at: www.uvsoftware.ca/ppt/MFconvert2.pps • Return to UV Software Home-Page: www.uvsoftware.ca www.uvsoftware.ca
