Oracle has been available for both the mainframe and off-mainframe platforms for many years. Recent Oracle releases have included additional features for manageability, scalability and value.

Most established organizations use some type of mainframe relational database management system for their online and batch processing. Most organizations use the Internet to provide access to their centralized mainframe databases as well as their distributed databases. Most organizations operate relational databases on both the mainframe and distributed platforms.

ATERAS converts IDMS databases, IMS databases and VSAM file structures to any dialect of Oracle using its automation technology, DB-Shuttle^TM. Whether your new databases reside on the mainframe, Windows, Unix or Linux, your relational Oracle database structure is fast, accessible and easily integrated with your other relational databases and applications.

DB-Shuttle also writes all of the programs required to extract the data from your non-relational databases and files structures into the format required for loading with the Oracle utilities.

DB-Shuttle can also convert any relational data from other database management systems to Oracle and from any Oracle platform to any other Oracle platform. DB-Shuttle also completes any required EBCDIC to ASCII conversion.
