IDMS Automated Migrations. Tiburon is a national leader in performing an automated IDMS migration to DB2, SQL Server or Oracle. We have our own proprietary tools and and would be happy to talk with you about our experiences. There are many pitfalls to be taken into consideration when moving from IDMS to a relational database structure we are uniquely positioned to address your questions and concerns.

Tiburon has assisted multiple clients in migrating from IDMS to IBM, Oracle and Microsoft technologies. Many of our migrations were driven by application requirements to implement Oracle 11i or SAP as well as corporate commitments to a standardized computing platform such as DB2/UDB or Oracle. Our Systems Development Life Cycle (SDLC) project methodology developed for migrations has allowed us to migrate to mainframe platforms and distributed system environments.

Tiburon's 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 third party and in-house developed automated tools to deliver a COBOL SQL-based application. The IDMS data structures are converted to a relational format and unload/load programs are automatically generated. Performance metrics, application requirements, and the target environment are utilized to complete the relational design. The JCL, sort parameters and Job schedule are converted using an automated process providing updated mainframe JCL or Unix system level processing. The system and application configurations are dependent on end-user environments, with Tiburon providing the ability to be a solution provider for hardware, software, training and implementation.

Our experience in managing complex IDMS implementation projects has allowed Tiburon to be the only Certified Consulting Partner (CCP) for IDMS recognized by Computer Associates (CA). Tiburon is proud of the many IDMS projects that we have supported around the country.
