Overview

The Prism Conversion System (Prism-CS) is a software product to automate the conversion of DOS/VSE, VSE/SP and VSE/ESA applications to MVS, OS/390 and z/OS. Prism-CS includes a set of integrated components to validate the application inventory, convert and compile programs, translate JCL streams, and transfer application data. Prism-CS significantly reduces the time required to convert the applications by automating repetitive tasks, allowing the team in charge of migrating a VSE data center to OS/390 or z/OS to concentrate on other migration activities, such as planning, training, system tests, and coordination.

Prism-CS is designed for the mass-conversion method to convert an entire VSE data center to MVS over a week-end. With its advanced mass-processing capabilities, Prism-CS reduces the time it takes to complete a conversion project, while relieving the applications staff from having to freeze (or track maintenance applied to) the applications during the course of the conversion project.

Prism-CS's design encompasses a vast amount of experience accumulated on dozens of conversion projects since 1980, resulting in a state-of-the-art product, which is continuously and actively maintained and enhanced.

Due to its versatility, Prism-CS can handle a wide variety of situations that arise from the use of IBM and non-IBM software products within the VSE applications and is currently ready to support the following:

Prism-CS is designed for high-performance, low overhead and runs on any MVS/ESA, OS/390 or z/OS system. Once a sufficient level of tailoring has been applied, an average-size inventory can be completely processed in half a day, i.e. a complete set of programs, JCL and data files can be captured from the VSE environment, restored onto the MVS system, converted, and made available for testing.
