VSAM Visibility and Knowledge Building

ATERAS ensures that the customer teams (and the ATERAS teams) have a full understanding of the existing VSAM files, as well as a full understanding of the post-conversion relational database. DB-Shuttle™ generates many reports and diagrams to assist with this knowledge-building process:

• Complete Entity Relationship Model (ERM) diagrams for the new relational databases
• Summary reports of the VSAM file sizes and usage
• Matrix reports that relate files to tables, fields to columns, VSAM files to extract programs, and more
• Date Finder reports that allow team members to define selected fields and columns as DATE fields for the new database
• Additional ad hoc reports that assist in further detailed identification of the unique characteristics of the VSAM file conversion
