This white paper explains how to make the step from IDMS to Java and provides a standard cloud architecture for migrated online applications.

CA IDMS provided a stable, dependable, and robust environment for mainframe applications for many years but today it is one of the most expensive and challenging technologies to maintain on the mainframe.

As expenses rise and the mainframe talent shortage grows, it is mission-critical to evaluate options to modernize your ADS and IDMS applications.

One of the most immediate and pressing concerns is the growing scarcity of IDMS expertise. Many of the professionals who built and maintained these systems are retiring, and newer generations of developers are not being trained on legacy technologies like IDMS.

This white paper gives an overview of how to make the step from IDMS to Java + RDBMS and how Astadia's tools make this transition possible.

You will learn about:

  • Migrating from IDMS to Java + RDBMS in the cloud
  • IDMS to Java: + RDBMS: Architecting a migration
  • IDMS to RDBMS
  • COBOL/DML to Java
  • ADS/O dialogs to Java
  • Standard cloud architecture for migrated online applications
