Designed, coded, tested, debugged, and migrated components of a Front-End application, using the following ISPF Dialog Manager Tools: Panels, Messages, Tables and Skeletons, along with REXX Execs, which facilitated Subject Matter Expert’s (SME’s) identification and extraction of Endevor elements, to prepare for transfer to a LINUX-based system named, “Informatica”. SMEs used Informatica to prepare the downloaded element’s flows to identify technical debt, so that the Agency could migrate away from, what it considered, Legacy development languages. This was due to the shrinking pool of expertise and availability of Legacy Language talent pool.Supplied support to many other mainframe developers, via a tool called Workbench from Allen Systems Group (ASG).The tool was a Data Resource Management System (DRMS) Facility, which provided a repository for and management of COBOL, HLASM, and CICS development metadata. Also managed by the tool were various other elements, such as user access, and Dynamic Table Access Management (DTAMS).Using JCL, REXX, Endevor, TADz, Workbench, and CyberFusion on the mainframe and UltraEdit, MS Access and Excel on the Network, developed a very extensive and complex spreadsheet, for a Tech 14 to evaluate and ultimately present to the Associate Commissioner and other higher-level SSA management.
