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 www. uvsoftware. ca

5 Parts to Conversion 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 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

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

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

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