Tools and tips required for a successful mainframe migration

A critical aspect of any mainframe migration is to ensure the productivity of the development team is maintained during and after the transition to the new re-hosted environment.

A common goal when planning migrations is to align with specific distributed development standards and, if available, published reference architectures.

Key areas include:

• Application development environment.
• Application debugging.
• Data management.
• Source code control and build management.

Highlights

• Utilize an end-to-end framework for re-hosting mainframe workloads on open systems.
• Reduce migration risk, time and complexity with extensive compatibility with legacy environments.
• Preserve existing investments in personnel, code, data and end-user interfaces.
• Gain a practical platform for future application evolution.

This paper provides an overview of development solutions based on NTT DATA and third-party-provided open systems that aim to replicate the mainframe development environment.
