by Joseph Brady, Director of Business Development at Treehouse Software, Inc. and Dan Vimont, Director of Innovation at Treehouse Software, Inc.

Customers who want to modernize mainframe data by leveraging Microsoft Azure without disrupting existing critical work on their legacy systems are finding Rocket Data Replicate and Sync (RDRS) from Treehouse Software to be the ideal solution.  In addition to replicating data to a variety of Azure database targets, RDRS can stream data (in near-real-time) directly to Event Hubs (in JSON, CSV, or Avro formats), from which customers can either directly consume the data using their own microservices, or transfer the data to Azure Streaming Analytics, which then automatically feeds it to Azure Data Lake Storage, or Azure Cosmos DB, as seen in this high-level overview…

RDRS focuses on changed data capture (CDC) when transferring information between mainframe data sources and Cloud targets. Through an innovative technology, changes occurring in any mainframe application data are tracked and captured, and then published to a variety of RDBMS and other targets.

RDRS utilizes a Windows-based GUI Dashboard, which is ideal for non-mainframe programmers. The RDRS Dashboard acts as a single point of administration, data modeling and mapping, script generation, and monitoring. Comprehensive monitoring and logging of all data movements ensure transparency across all data exchange processes.

For many enterprises, the venerable mainframe is home to decades’ worth of data about the company’s customers, processes and operations. And it goes without saying that the business would like access to that mainframe data — to report on it, to analyze it with big data analysis tools, or to use it as the basis of new machine learning and artificial intelligence initiatives.

Whether your enterprise wants to take advantage of the latest AWS services, such as analytics, artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning, scalable storage, security, high availability, etc., or move your data to a variety of newer databases, the transition doesn’t have to occur immediately. tcVISION allows real-time data synchronization of changes on either platform to be reflected on the other platform (e.g., a change to a PostgreSQL table is reflected back on the mainframe source database). The customer can then modernize their application on AWS without disrupting the existing critical work on the legacy system. 

tcVISION on AWS architecture overview:

___tcVISION_AWS_Overall_Architecture

tcVISION’s Control Board is a Windows Graphical User Interface (GUI) that allows users to configure the replication stream between the IBM mainframe and AWS. Using the Control Board and built-in wizards, users can define the metadata and mappings between the mainframe and AWS database target.

The following video shows the steps required to create the tcVISION metadata and scripts for replicating mainframe Db2 z/OS data to AWS PostgreSQL:

Where do you want to go?

With Treehouse Software’s tcVISION, mainframe data can be replicated between IBM Db2 z/OS, Db2 z/VSE, Adabas, VSAM, IMS/DB, CA IDMS, CA DATACOM, or sequential files, and many Cloud and Open Systems targets.

tcVISION is an innovative technology that offers comprehensive abilities to identify and capture changes occurring in mainframe and relational databases, then publish the required information to an impressive variety of targets, both on-premise and Cloud-based. A complete list of tcVISION supported environments for data replication can be seen here.

Treehouse Software White Paper: Mainframe-to-Hybrid Cloud – The “Data First” Approach

Posted on by

by Joseph Brady, Director of Business Development / Cloud Alliance Lead at Treehouse Software, Inc.

Planning01

Data First Approach to Mainframe Modernization

This white paper serves as a guide for organizations planning to replicate their mainframe data on a Cloud platform. Much of an enterprise’s mission critical mainframe data is stored in legacy mainframe databases, and the cost to maintain these databases is high. An added complication is that the data is utilized by many interlinked and dependent programs that have been in place for many years, and sometimes, decades. Unlocking the value of this legacy data is difficult due to many very different types of mainframe databases.

Many organizations are now looking for modernization solutions that allow their legacy mainframe environments to continue, while replicating data in real time on highly available Cloud-based platforms. With a “data-first” approach, immediate data replication to the Cloud is enabling government, healthcare, supply chain, financial, and a variety of public service organizations to meet spikes in demand for vital information, especially in times of crisis.

Shopping for an AWS Mainframe Data Replication Solution? Look no further than Treehouse Software’s tcVISION on the AWS Marketplace…

Posted on by

___AWS_Marketplace_tcVISION_AMIs

Using Treehouse Software’s tcVISION to replicate data between a mainframe database and AWS, an enterprise with mission critical data can rapidly deploy databases globally within minutes, and with minimal administration requirements. Supported mainframe databases include Db2, VSAM, IMS/DB, Adabas, IDMS, Datacom, or even sequential files. tcVISION is available on the AWS Marketplace for many global regions, including the AWS GovCloud (US) East and (US) West. 

There are three versions of the tcVISION Amazon Machine Image (AMI) on the AWS Marketplace:

1. tcVISION Enterprise Change Data Capture (CDC) Integration for AWS – Bring Your Own License (Customers must contact Treehouse Software for license key to run the software): This AMI allows transfer of mainframe data to AWS targets continuously and in real-time. Using this tcVISION AMI, a customer can deploy databases globally within minutes.

3. tcVISION Distributed Database Integration (DDI) for AWS – Pay as You Go on AWS: This AMI license installation includes security keys for Amazon S3 access and a license to use one source (PostgreSQL, Oracle, MySQL, MariaDB; MSSQL on Windows OS only) and one target (AWS S3, AWS Aurora, RDS – PostgreSQL, Oracle, MySQL, MariaDB; MSSQL on Windows OS only).

3. tcVISION Mainframe Batch Integration (MBI) for AWS – Bring Your Own License (Customers must contact Treehouse Software for license key to run the software): This AMI does not require an active connection to the mainframe, because the existing backup and recovery files from the mainframe, such as Db2 imagecopies, z/OS archive log files or IMS Unloads, Adabas unload, and PLOG files can be used.

Like what you see? Replicating mainframe data on AWS can happen within days during a tcVISION Proof of Concept (POC)…

An online tcVISION POC is approximately 10 business days, with the customer providing use case and goals for the POC. A Treehouse Software consultant will assist in downloading and installing tcVISION and conducting a limited-scope implementation of a tcVISION application. This application uses customer data and executes on customer facilities, usually in a non-production environment. A document is provided beforehand that outlines the requirements, use cases, and agenda for the POC.

By the end of the 10-day POC, customers can begin replicating mainframe data to their Cloud target database.  It can happen that fast!
