HH&S utilities for porting, integrating and modernizing Mainframe workloads on Open Systems.

Legacy Batch Modernization

HH&S tools address the integration and migration of software components primarily from IBM VM/CMS and z/OS / MVS Mainframe environments to Open Systems.

They enable existing batch processes, files, databases and operating procedures to be ported or distributed across UNIX, Linux and Windows platforms:

DF/SORT-compatible sorting and merging of large binary files: XSM
instant conversion of MVS JCL into Shell scripts: ACMU
extraction of MVS JES2 Spool Offload data: HSPO
transparent replacement of CA-DATACOM with DB2 or PostgreSQL: DBENTRY
replacement of DB2/MVS with an Open Systems database: GDG
VM/CMS REXX batch processing on UNIX and Windows: EVMPR
migration of Software AG Entire Operations plans to BMC Control-M: EOR2CTLM

XSM

eXtended Fast Sort Merge

XSM is a high-performance sort/merge utility for UNIX, Linux and Windows, derived from Mainframe DF/SORT. It processes large text or binary files with fixed- or variable-length records, without an application-level file size limit.

Sorting, merging, deduplication and selective splitting
Higher performance than standard sort utilities in the use cases handled by HH&S

ACMU

MVS JCL to UNIX/Linux Shell Script Converter

ACMU converts MVS JCL into UNIX Shell scripts. Following an initial preparation phase, it can translate batches ranging from a single JCL to several thousand JCLs.

Cross-references for JCLs, programs, files and variables
Standalone Korn Shell output with no dedicated runtime
Implementations of IBM utilities including IDCAMS, IKJEFT01 and IEBCOPY

HSPO

JES2 Spool Offload for UNIX and Windows

HSPO extracts files from an MVS/JES2 Spool Offload on UNIX or Windows and separates them into homogeneous logical streams, text lines or pure AFP streams for AFP/ACIF processing.

Receives JES2/Offload streams without a Mainframe
Runs on UNIX, Linux and Windows

DBENTRY

COBOL programming API for DB2 and PostgreSQL

DBENTRY is a set of libraries and utilities for replacing a CA-DATACOM database, formerly DATACOM-DB, with DB2 for z/OS, distributed DB2 or PostgreSQL.

Retains COBOL programs containing DATACOM-DB commands
Ports MVS DATACOM-DB COBOL programs to UNIX

GDG

Generic Database Gateway

GDG retains MVS COBOL applications while porting or migrating a DB2/MVS database to an Open System, helping reduce Mainframe DB2 licensing costs.

EVMPR

VM emulator for REXX

EVMPR is a VM/CMS REXX runtime for UNIX and Windows platforms. It reproduces the VM/CMS technical mechanisms used by batch procedures to simplify their migration.
