Successfully Moved Financial Data from IDMS to Oracle Management Systems
Situation
A government agency wanted to move their financial management systems from IDMS to the Oracle platform. So, they needed someone who could help shut down their IDM mainframe. The MetaExpert was able to step in and ‘Get it done’!
Actions
With extensive knowledge of IDMS database structure and diagrams, the MetaExpert, worked full-time for two and a half years to facilitate the system migration:
- Worked closely with the manager and database administrator to solve the problem
- Spent time studying to understand their IDMS structure and configuration
- Initiated a plan and group of programs for the IDMS reconfiguration
- Determined the online component during the daytime and badge component in the evening
- Wrote programs that changed the financial data from IDMS format to Oracle's platform
- Identified the land layers that were plugged into the IBM mainframe
- Routine maintenance of the existing system
Results
The project was very successful. With a determination to succeed, MetaExpert developed outstanding abilities by mastering the organization's IDMS configuration. The next step was to map a working plan for the successful migration.
After studying the system and writing codes that stripped the financial data from IDMS, the files were presented and moved in a format that Oracle systems could understand.
The company accepted the project and was very impressed with MetaExpert’s performance. He was committed to ensuring that the program was successful.
The government agency achieved their desired ROI, making this a mission accomplished.
MetaExpert worked for over two years with Oracle experts to ensure the whole migration was a success.
