Loss of mainframe skills

Your mainframe AI Optimizer administrators are retiring. New talent is scarce.

Inflexible legacy licensing

Z/OS AI tool licensing and scheduling lock you into rigid, expensive operations.

Risky batch dependencies

Interlocking batch JCL schedules make migration risky without a safe parallel-run option.

IBM AI Optimizer for z/OS → Databricks migration — your questions answered

How do you handle complex mainframe batch JCL schedules?+

Our senior engineers re-engineer your JCL into Databricks jobs. Dual-run support lets you parallel-run to validate before cutover.

What about COMP-3 encoded data fields?+

We have proven methods to unpack and convert COMP-3 fields to Databricks-compatible formats.

How do you handle bindings to Db2 or IMS DB?+

We extract and transform data from Db2 and IMS DB, then route to Databricks Delta Lake. No re-engineering on your side.

What if our vendor support lapses before we finish migrating?+

Your vendor support remains active as long as your contract is in place. If it lapses, our third-party support covers most operational issues while you finish the migration.
