  IDMS MigrationsIDMS Automated Migrations to DB2, SQL Server or Oracle. There are many pitfalls to be taken into consideration when moving from IDMS to a relational database structure. An automated approach to migration conversion consists of an application conversion, system configuration, application configuration and a system implementation. The application entities such as ADSA, ADS Dialogs, IDMS Batch Cobol, IDMS DC Cobol, Maps, LRF (Logical Record Facility) structures, global records, and Culprit are converted using a variety of automated tools to deliver a COBOL SQL-based application

 
   

An automated migration has the ability to transform legacy technologies into more modern ones with an automation rate of approximately 95% or higher. Automated migrations are particularly useful when there is no desire to make major architectural changes to an application itself. Thus transforming code to make use of new databases or transforming 4th generation languages that are less "legacy reliant" to start with are good potential candidates for automated migration. Additionally, an automated migration is a useful modernization technique for cleaning up legacy environments by performing code restructuring and other modernizations where the source and target language are the same.
