Set up data conversion jobs

  1. Modify/create JCL
  2. Update job schedule
  3. Or, do data conversion incrementally as records are accessed by a bridge program, rather than having separate conversion programs and jobs.

You can avoid bridging for data conversion if you add compliant dates to records and retain the legacy dates; your programs just use the format that they need.

Set up bridge jobs

  1. Modify/create JCL to run jobs at appropriate times and locations.
  2. Update job schedule
    Batch jobs are obviously required for batch systems but may also be required to support on-line systems that access data after it has been run through a filter-style bridge.

The setup of bridge jobs is affected by the error-handling model:

Changes to dataset names often require changes to job scheduling and report-distribution systems. The job scheduling or report system can be triggered by the creation of the dataset.
