JCL Sorts Migrate to CoSort in UniKix BPE and TPE from Clerity
Challenges:
As you move from mainframe to open systems, you may be working with Clerity's Mainframe Rehosting Solutions team. One of the components of your migration will likely be the sort package. You need a solution for JCL sort step conversion, VSAM file processing, related data transformation, and reporting services as you migrate mainframe operations to Unix.
Solutions:
CoSort is part of the Clerity Mainframe Reference Architecture and a proven solution for sort migration, and related JCL parm conversion. You can use CoSort's MVS or VSE sort parm translation tools, which also map JCL commands for record selection, field reformatting, summing, de-duplication, and data type conversion. You can leverage the power of CoSort's SortCL tool directly within UniKix Batch Processing Environment (UniKix BPE) and UniKix Transaction Processing Environment (UniKix TPE) software from Clerity.
If you are involved in a mainframe migration and require CoSort and related conversion assistance, please contact IRI for references and information.
