ADAMAGIC
ADABAS C mainframe database migration to server platforms, eg Unix, Linux and Windows.
ADAMAGIC facilitates the migration of ADABAS mainframe databases
to ADABAS on UNIX (eg. Sun Solaris, HP/UX or IBM/AIX), Linux (Redhat, Suse etc) and Windows.
ADAMAGIC can also be used to extract flat files, CSV files and normalised files suitable for input into
RDBMS applications.
Input into ADAMAGIC can be a full ADASAV backup (online or standalone)
or UNIX ADABCK backup files, either on disk or cartridge(s). Output
files are created in compressed UNIX ADABAS form (ready to be loaded into ADABAS),
or into one of several flat file formats suitable for loading into any RDBMS database
or third party application such as a spreadsheet.
ADAMAGIC can be used to convert all application data files from
mainframe EBCDIC ADABAS database to equivalent compressed or flat files in a
UNIX/Windows ASCII file format.
ADAMAGIC makes it a simple exercise for the DBA
to:
- convert mainframe ADABAS databases to ADABAS under UNIX/Windows
- convert mainframe ADABAS databases to ASCII flat files, CSV files or normalised files
- process mainframe files while extracting them to any format desired
- use comprehensive selection criteria to extract exactly the required data
- access raw mainframe historical data on a server platform
- populate test databases
ADAMAGIC advantages:
Simple parameters specify the files to be selected.
You can specify that the output file number is different to
the input file number on the backup.
Optionally, ADAMAGIC can be run to simply extract the ADAFDU
information without extracting any actual data, or to extract
FDU and DTA but not DVT.
Files output by ADAMAGIC can be loaded into a database, decompressed,
or input to ADAREORG (another utility available from CCA Software)
for restructuring prior to being loaded to the Unix database.
Access historical data at a fixed point in time. A great tool
for those end-of-month processing tasks.
UNIX scripts can be invoked synchronously at the end of each
output file to perform additional processing, such as to execute
the ADABAS utilities such as ADAFDU and ADAMUP.
