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

Why Migrate to Unix/Linux ?1. Increase Performance
– runs that took hours on old mainframes– take minutes on new unix/linux machines
2. Reduce Cost: – Linux systems less expensive than
proprietary Mainframes
3. Reduce Risk: – migrating existing systems is less risky than
rewrites or new package implementations
4. Preserve legacy logic:– Proven & customized over many years

5 Parts to Conversion
1. JCL conversion to Korn shell scripts
2. COBOL porting to Micro Focus
3. Data conversion EBCDIC to ASCII
4. VU Testing & Debugging Aids
5. Mainframe Data Utility Replacements

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
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 [email protected]

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
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

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