CICS VSAM Transparency for z/OS, Version 1.2


Typical CICS VT migration process

The migration methodology is the same for each VSAM file you migrate, regardless of aspects such as the attributes of a file or how it is used. The key steps in the migration process are as follows:

  1. Identify which file or files are to be migrated.
  2. Analyze the files to determine DB2® table designs.
  3. Create the DB2 tablespace, table and index objects.
  4. Map the file or files.
  5. Migrate the data from VSAM to DB2.
  6. Test the mapping.
  7. Test application programs.
  8. Cutover to production.

In many cases, steps 2-5 are performed automatically, but here they are explained in detail to help you understand the complete migration process.
