Mainframe-Linux-Migration

"In order to take on the project successfully, we brought in external support into our project team from the very beginning. This was a good decision, as we needed a team of specialists to supplement our own employees and carry out diverse tasks. Smooth changeover process using "resourceful tools". For the Mainframe-Linux-Migration, we lacked the program support for the changeover What seemed initially to be a huge hurdle actually became a success factor. ITGAIN tools are the right solution."

JCL interpreter J2U

With the help of the JCL interpreter J2U, provided by ITGAIN, batch jobs available in the new Linux environment could be implemented without being changed. "Without a suitable tool, we would have had to convert the JCL individually for all batch jobs into a Linux script language“, summarizes Mr. Häcker the issue.
