Are you looking to migrate from a legacy IMS database to DB2? There are practical approaches that allow for an incremental transition and minimize the risk of a “big bang” conversion. This session will demonstrate how we used an IMS Data Capture exit routine written in COBOL to synchronize data between IMS and DB2 during an enterprise data migration. It will present the overall business need for the synchronization, technical details on the creation of the exit routine and integration with our enterprise applications, environmental considerations, and practical results from the execution in the test and production environments.
Tracks: DB2, IMS and Performance/Capacity Planning
