  • IDMS Conversion
    IDMS Conversion The Modern Systems IDMS conversion includes the generation of a new relational database to replace the functionality, set relationships, indexes, and data structures that are currently part of the IDMS network database. The new target database can reside on or off the mainframe, and can use any of the standard relational database management systems (RDBMS): Microsoft SQL Server, Oracle or IBM DB2. Database Functionality DB-Shuttle™ provides The Modern Systems solution provides a complete replacement for all IDMS automated technology database functionality: that protects legacy assets, reduces • IDMS record layouts maintenance costs, • Group-level elements, Occurs and Redefines clauses within IDMS record provides agility and definitions flexibility, and enables • Set definitions (record-to-record relationships) Service-Oriented • System-owned indexes Architecture (SOA) • Bill-of-material structures within business-critical • Multi-member sets, multi-set relationships between two record types applications. • Duplicate CALC designations • Sorted sets, Chained sets and NEXT sets Relational Results The resulting database is fully relational. Primary keys, foreign keys and index definitions are automatically created. All constraints are generated into the resulting DDL. Table spaces, indexes, table names and column names are all generated according to your naming standards. Delivered Components As part of the delivery process, Modern Systems generates and delivers the following component types for installation in the new relational

  • Miami-Dade County
    MIAMI-DADE COUNTY Cognos Business Analytics and IDMS Integration at Miami-Dade County Abstract of the Program Miami-Dade County led the way as the first company in the world to successfully extract information from a CA IDMS network database using IBM Cognos Business Analytics. Miami- Dade County stores the majority of their critical data, such as Criminal Justice, Payroll, Traffic and Building information in CA IDMS mainframe databases and traditionally extracts this data using Computer Associates CA IDMS tools (CA ADS ADS/O and IDMS/Cobol/IDMS). Through the collaboration of CA Computer Associates, IBM, and Miami-Dade County, a driver was created for IBM Cognos to access this data directly by using Business Analytics tools without the need for exporting the data into a contemporary distributed environment. The problem or need for the program IDMS (Integrated Database Management System) is primarily a network (CODASYL) database management system for mainframes. Only CA tools could access IDMS data. IDMS mainframe technology did not have the capability to be accessed directly by contemporary business analytics software solutions. This limitation required data extraction, file transfer protocols, and script loading processes to expose IDMS, IMS, and DB2 mainframe data to contemporary technologies, including business analytics tools like IBM Cognos Analytics. Multiple data warehouses and operational data stores are loaded from the primary data sources originating from the IDMS mainframe platform and other relational data sources. More than 50 production IDMS databases are actively supported and used county-wide at Miami- Dade County. Access to data by the distributed world such as making the data available on an Oracle or MSSQL database requires adding multiple intermediate steps, using multiple technologies, and multiple points of failure to migrate data and make it available to analytic technologies.

  • CASE STUDY GE CAPITAL ASSESSING, CONVERTING, & REPLATFORMING a MASSIVE BUSINESS CRITICAL APPLICATION with ASTONISHING RESULTS Introduction
    CASE STUDY GE CAPITAL ASSESSING, CONVERTING, & REPLATFORMING A MASSIVE BUSINESS CRITICAL APPLICATION WITH ASTONISHING RESULTS Introduction GE Capital is the financial services unit of the American conglomerate General Electric, it provides commercial lending and leasing, as well as a range of financial services for consumers. Most of GE Capital’s commercial loans are to small and midsized companies, spread across multiple industries and geographies, and secured by tangible assets. GE Capital’s consumer lending activities are also diversified by product and geography and include operations in 55 countries. Project Summary GE Capital was looking to move their PMS suite of $ 2014 Net Income: $7.0 billion applications from ADS/O and COBOL/IDMS running 2014 Assets: $499 billion on a mainframe, to COBOL running with Oracle on Unix without changing the user interface in the Operations in 40+ Countries process. PMS was built by GE Capital in 1987 500,000+ Commercial Customers and began its life as a 20,000 account schedule system without any interfaces. 35,000+ Employees As with most homegrown systems, it was built out of necessity and to serve the business as it existed at the time. Over the decades, this small system grew in size and complexity to become the central nervous system of both GE Capital’s direct and indirect business units comprised of four highly customized implementations. With over 5 million account schedules, 382 interfaces, 1,700 concurrent users, and 3.5 million transactions per day running against 71 million lines of code, the PMS system had come a long way from its humble roots.
