  1. Mainframe Conversion • Using the Vancouver Utilities • by Owen Townsend • UV Software Inc. • Partner with TxMQ Inc. • Partner with Travancore www.uvsoftware.ca

  2. UV Software Inc. • General purpose data utilities for unix/linux • Mainframe Migration Tools, to convert JCL,COBOL,& Data to unix/linux/Windows/SFU • Converted over 30 mainframes since 1993 • HQ Vancouver Canada • President Owen Townsend, owen@uvsoftware.ca www.uvsoftware.ca

  3. TxMQ – Partner with UV Software • IBM Business Partner in US & Canada • Servicing fortune 1000 clients since 1991 • Mainframe sales, installation, training • Assisting migrations to open systems • Offices in Amherst NY & Markham ON • Contact scott@txmq.comwww.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 • Shyam@travancore.netwww.travancore.net www.uvsoftware.ca

  5. Why Migrate to Unix/Linux ? • Increase Performance • 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. Vancouver Utilities Contents • JCL conversion to Korn shell scripts • COBOL porting to Micro Focus COBOL • Data conversion from EBCDIC to ASCII • General purpose DATA utilities for unix www.uvsoftware.ca

  7. Conversion Methods • Unix, Linux, or Windows/SFU environment • 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 minute) • Execute 200 file conversions (5 gig, 1 hour) www.uvsoftware.ca

  8. JCL Conversion - Highlights • DDN/DSN converted to Export DDN=DSN • SORT/SYNCSORT converted to ‘uvsort’ • IEBGENER/IDCAMS converted to ‘uvcp’ • GDG files converted to ksh functions • Console logging • Micro Focus COBOL animation made easy • Replacements for Ditto, Dyl280, Easytrieve • $RUNDATA/$RUNLIBS testing/production • Laser scripts, 132 cols x 66 lines on 8½ x 11 www.uvsoftware.ca

  9. JCL Conversion Example #1 • sample JCL & script (1 step COBOL) • Korn shell script equivalent www.uvsoftware.ca

  10. JCL Conversion Ex#2 (SORT) • sample JCL & script (SORT/uvsort) • Ksh script (uvsort + cobol) www.uvsoftware.ca

  11. SyncSort conversion to ‘uvsort’ • Syncsort functionality at lower cost • INCLUDEs, OMITs, SUMs, OUTREC, etc. • Uvsort sels, dels, sums, mvcs, etc. • sample INCLUDE AND/OR conditions www.uvsoftware.ca

  12. JCL Conversion #3 (GDG files) • GDG files supported by ksh functions • exportgen0, exportgen1, exportgenp • sample JCL & script with GDG files • Korn shell script equivalent www.uvsoftware.ca

  13. IEBGENER & IDCAMS • IEBGENER converted to ‘uvcp’ • IDCAMS REPRO converted to ‘uvcp’ • IEBGENER & IDCAMS JCL sample • Korn shell script equivalent www.uvsoftware.ca

  14. COBOL porting to Micro Focus • Not much to do, but saves manual editing • Insert EXTERNAL on select/assign stmts • Translate to lower case except in quotes • more modern appearance • easier to edit with unix/linux editors (vi,etc) • Insert detail file status test code • For Micro Focus extended file status display www.uvsoftware.ca

  15. Data Conversion • Translate EBCDIC to ASCII • Preserving packed/binary fields • Correcting zoned signs to ASCII standards • Conversion jobs generated from copybooks • and LISTCAT file specs • 1 script to generate all conversion jobs • 1 command to convert all data files www.uvsoftware.ca

  16. Data Conversion Example • Data conversions generated from copybooks Sample copybook (citytax1.cpy) • CobMap record layout from copybook Sample cobmap (citytax.map) • Data conversion job (uvcopy) Sample uvcopy data conversion job (citytax1.uv) www.uvsoftware.ca

  17. Data File specs from LISTCAT • LISTCAT info completes conversion jobs • Info added to copybook/cobmap/uvcopy job • Data filename, file type, Indexed keys Sample LISTCAT & extracted control file uvcopy job completed by control file www.uvsoftware.ca

  18. Converting flat files to RDBMS • Convert data to pipe delimited text files • Packed/binary fields edited signs & decimal pts • Packed/binary fields unpacked & edited • Conversion jobs auto-gen’d from copybooks • SQL loader control file also generated • Sample pipe delimited output file • Sample uvcopy job to perform pipe delimit • Sample loader control file www.uvsoftware.ca

  19. Conversion Directories • For JCL,COBOL,& Data conversions • Conversion Libraries • Data directories for testing or production • sample test data subdirs www.uvsoftware.ca

  20. Scripts to convert All JCL/COBOL/DATA • jcl2ksh5A – convert All JCL to ksh • cnvMF5A – convert all COBOL to Micro Focus • gencnvC - generate all Data conversion jobs • uvcopyxx ‘pfx2/*’ - execute all data convert jobs www.uvsoftware.ca

  21. Scripts to convert 1 JCL/COBOL/DataFile • jcl2ksh51 – convert 1 JCL to ksh • cnvMF51 – convert 1 program to MicroFocus • gencnvB – convert 1 datafile to ASCII • genpipeA – convert 1 file to pipe-delimited • uvcopy pfx3/datafilename – execute 1 conversion job www.uvsoftware.ca

  22. Testing & Debugging Aids • uvhd & uvhdcob – data file investigation • Browse, search, update, print, etc • uvhd – sample EBCDIC file display • uvhd dat1ebc/custmas1 r256s3a • uvhd – sample ASCII file display • uvhd dat2asc/custmas1 r256s3 • uvhdcob – sample record display • uvhdcob dat2asc/custmas1 maps/custmas1 www.uvsoftware.ca

  23. COBOL Cross-References • xcobcall1 – list called programs in each program • xcobcall2 – crossref programs calling any 1 program • xcobcopy1 – list copybooks in each program • xcobcopy2 – crossref programs using any 1 copybook • cobfiles - COBOL files report • organization, access, open-mode, recsize, copybook, www.uvsoftware.ca

JCL Cross-References • xjkshfile1 – list datafiles in each JCL/script • xjkshfile2 – crossref programs using any 1 datafile • xjkshprog1 – list programs in each JCL/script • xjkshprog2 – crossref JCL/scripts using any 1 program • Jobflow reports – generated from JCL + COBOL programs • Show file I/O from step to step in multi-step jobs • Sample jobflow report www.uvsoftware.ca

  25. Converting DYL280 to uv… • Sample#1 – file init (write 1 blank/zero rec) Mainframe DYL280 code Equivalent uvcp Equivalent uvcopy • Sample#2 – add records to an indexed file Mainframe DYL280 code Equivalent uvcopy www.uvsoftware.ca

  26. Pre-Programmed jobs (uvcopy) • table2 – table summaries by arguments • Table entries limited only by memory • Table dumped at EOF in argument sequence • Percentages on every line of 100% total line • Sample input data file • Sample table summary report • Operating instructions & console displays • uvcopy job equivalent www.uvsoftware.ca

  27. Replacements for MainframeUtilities • Uvqrpg – Report Generator • up to 8 page headings & footers • up to 8 control break fields & total levels • up to 100 accumulators per level • built in sort • Sample input file • Sample output report • Sample uvqrpg code www.uvsoftware.ca

  28. 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

  29. 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

  30. Conversion plan – phase 2 & 3 • Testing & Debugging • 3 to 12 months depending on project size • By customer conversion team • aided by TxMQ or Travancore as desired • Go Live • Usually over a weekend www.uvsoftware.ca
