Focus IMS with replication q Printing: Replacing the Mainframe AFP toolbox with distributed platform AFP toolbox As per Astadia both the POC solutions look positive • DSHS DBA’s are reviewing and providing the feedback on z/OS DB 2 DDL • Astadia/DSHS/Dell team has completed the installation and initial configuration of the SAN • 8 out of 11 interfaces successfully established interface connections • Communication has been sent to all 40 interface partners about testing, 25 of 28 requested Testing and waiting for response from 12 partners • Current Schedule output provided to Astadia for conversion • Baseline 5 scripts capturing will be completed by DSHS test team by 2/14 The Database and Print solution related issues are impacting the project schedule. Astadia informed their system and parallel testing start date delayed by more than 6 weeks which impacts schedule. NEXT STEPS • Astadia to propose the q Micro Focus IMS solution on February 12 th. q Print Solution on February 18 th. q Disaster Recovery Options. • Re-baseline the schedule after all the above solutions are accepted by DSHS • Start the system and parallel testing • Complete the z/OS DB 2 DDL reviews • Final switch configuration is expected complete no later than 2/10 • Establish interface connections with remaining 3 connectivity points • Follow-up with rest of interface partners and identify testing requirements • Conversion and Testing of current schedule • Start discussions with OCS on security design review Decisions: • IBM Workload Scheduler has been selected as scheduling tool NOTE: See the ESAR Decision Log for a list of all decisions made during this period KEY RISKS & ISSUES Issues: #291.

Independent Verifications & Validation (IV&V) Monthly Summary (Public Knowledge) 14
Washington Medicaid Enterprise IV&V Status as of January 31, 2020 Enterprise IV&V Findings • Coalition stakeholders have begun to value the Coalition as a forum to work on problems together. We saw tangible progress on the Integrated Eligibility System Replacement effort. We closed a risk related to Communications. • The ESAR project has not resolved its database and print solution issues. We opened a risk around Astadia’s proposal to use Micro Focus IMS. We are concerned it will decrease system performance and availability and increase the long term costs of maintaining ACES. • The schedule remains tight for implementing a new Asset Verification System product and bringing CSD users on board by December 31, 2020. The funding outlook is positive. IV&V Activities • We reviewed the Systems Inventory, Identity Management Plan and Knowledge Transfer and Training Plan. • We closed a number of high priority IV&V findings.

Higher scores represent a higher level of risk. For more information please see the following deliverable: 3. 2(13) IV&V Monthly Status Report – January 2020 V 0. 9 (DRAFT) www. pubknow. com
Updates on QA Recommendations 2. 9 Prepare ahead to make decisions on the printing and database solutions by identifying what process will be used for making decisions, particularly if scope and/or requirements are impacted. Opened January 2020 Update: New recommendation, currently under review. 7. 8 Provide a formal communication about the delay in system and parallel testing. December 2019 Update: A formal communication has not been released on the delay in the start of system and parallel testing. However, the Rehosting Team Leads are aware of the delay and a discussion was held during a Team Leads meeting to answer questions. Also, the delay was discussed with all staff at the Leaders rehosting panel discussion on January 31. 9. 9 DSHS should ensure that any change or extension of the Astadia contract includes language that binds Astadia to deliverables and ‘no later than’ delivery dates. January 2020 Update: New recommendation, currently under review. 16
Updates on IV&V Findings/Risks IV&V Risks 2019 -03 -002 The ESAR Mainframe Rehosting track is behind schedule. From IV&V: December 2019 Update: This month, the rehosting vendor notified DSHS that the system and parallel test could not start as planned because development work related to the Open IMS transaction management solution is five weeks behind schedule. DSHS turned the project status to red and is determining impacts to the code freeze and the planned go-live date of July 11, 2020. We changed this item from a risk to an issue based on the new information. Opened March 2019 Update: The system and parallel testing has not yet begun. Once Astadia delivers the database and printing solutions and DSHS has determined a course of action, the schedule and work plan will be reviewed and updated. 2019 -11 -002 The ESAR Design Not Complete. From IV&V Report: December 2019 Update: The ESAR Mainframe Rehosting project did not begin system testing in December as planned and the vendor has yet to identify a workable print solution. DSHS is evaluating whether Adobe Experience can be used. However, all letters and reports that were created in the legacy mainframe environment would have to be converted from binary to PDF format before they could be displayed or printed in the rehosted environment. November 2019 Update: Astadia is completing a Proof of Concept for the database solution that is due this week. The printing solution POC will be completed by Astadia and delivered to DSHS next week. 17
