Defense Logistics Agency
Supplies material for military, humanitarian efforts 54,000 requisitions / day 5.2 million items in supply chain 21,000 employees 120,600 MREs distributed during SoCal fires last week
DoD Distribution Command 12 North American depots 26 distribution centers world wide ? Mobile depots
Command DLA Directory Lt. Gen Robert Dail DLA Vice Director Maj. Gen. Arthur Morrill, III DLA Command Sgt. Maj. David Roman DLA J6U – Distribution Standard System

Application Modernization Efforts at DLA
Distribution Standard System (DSS) 9 MLOC of CICS COBOL / APS 4GL DISA managed IBM z9
Requirements Streamline order process, order fulfillment
Eliminate paper and FAX based orders, data entry Support enablement, delegation directives Allow “18yr old sailor to place an order” over the Web
Replace “green screen” terminal users with Web based Integrate with CAC Card PKI security system Integrate external shipping contractors’ Web service interfaces
USPS, UPS, FedEx, DHL ship < 100lbs Reuse all business logic – it works Deploy to mobile depots
Non-glass house environment; ability to operate without communication to DISA data centers
Overseas deployment in March

DLA Two-pronged Approach
Web and SOA enable IBM System z DSS application Micro Focus EnterpriseLink 1000s of web pages created in 6 months Supports existing 26 worldwide depots
Extend DSS application onto IBM System p with IBM AIX Micro Focus Server for Mainframe Migration
Supports CICS COBOL environment on AIX DB2 Data
Micro Focus Server Express
Along with Migration Toolkit, identify and migrate apps Micro Focus EnterpriseLink
Same Web and SOA projects as used on the mainframe
Supports mobile ally, floating and battlefield depots
55
Web and SOA enablement with EnterpriseLink
Intuitive hyperlinking, button navigation
Combine multiple CICS transactions into one page
Alternative views for different audiences, access levels, languages
Single sign-on Generation of PDF, Excel format Meet SOA initiatives without
modification Web pages are accessible as a
Web Service External Web Services are
integrated into Web pages

ReHost with Server for Mainframe Migration
Micro Focus Mainframe Compatibility COBOL CICS IMS TM, DB JCL VSAM SAF
Migration Tools Mainframe Express – EBCDIC reference platform Server Express – compile, edit, test Enterprise View – Application Portfolio Manager Migration Toolkit – tools for analyzing code EnterpriseLink Test Harness – functional, stress tests

Deploy in a cluster environment EnterpriseLink Cluster Server, Oracle RAC, Microsoft SQL Server

Disaster recovery (DR) deployments, replication

High Availability Deployment
88
Highly Secure Deployments
Micro Focus Server for Mainframe Migration Supports IBM Secure Access Facility DLA using CA Access Control (equivalent to CA
TopSecret) to CICS transactions
Micro Focus EnterpriseLink SSL https:// browser encryption (DLA) TLS Security to the host (Army Medicine) Security Mapping Facility maps CAC Card PKI to
IBM SAF (CA TopSecret, Access Control) profiles (possible; not deployed)

Meeting DLA/DISA RMCMRelease Management / Configuration Management
• Complex rollout demands change management• Unit Test, System Test, QA,
Pre-Production, Production, Retired
• Lights-out remote management
• Benefits– Support of multiple
authoring teams
– Manage rollout
– Manage change

Possible future directions for DLA and others
Security Mapping SOA, Web Services Web 2.0
Aggregations – feed-readers Integrators – Mash-ups
Web 2.0+ RESTful operations
