Database and Application Migration 

DBMS Migration » VSAM 

Most organizations still running mission-critical applications on VSAM databases are working to migrate to industry-standard relational databases - DB2, SQL Server, or Oracle. Our VSAM migration solution is a highly automated and efficient tool for migrating non-relational VSAM to a relational system that provides the best performance and is readable, reliable, and easy to maintain.

VSAM Migration and Conversion

VSAM migration projects are intricate and complex - a detailed road map for migration is crucial. Each migration solution begins with an automated, detailed mapping of system-wide IT activity using our Application Portfolio Analysis tool.

An application conversion from a VSAM file system to a relational database (DB2, SQL Server, or Oracle) involves several key stages: database remodeling, code and JCL conversion, data-migration program generation, and code "refresh" and testing support. Since VSAM is a nonrelational file system, a one-to-one conversion to a relational database is not possible. The goal is to provide a comprehensive conversion solution.
