“Lozen enables partial and incremental replatform projects, with some applications being replatformed and others staying on the mainframe. Being able to transparently access mainframe VSAM data in real time really helps replatform projects move forward — without having to build additional processes or controls around moving the workload, all while maintaining data integrity and currency.
Micro Focus (now Rocket Software) provides a mainframe-equivalent CICS JCL IMS environment running COBOL and PL/I applications on distributed platforms. If VSAM data continues to reside on the mainframe, the tight integration VirtualZ has developed between Lozen and our File Handler means that batch applications can now access it remotely. Lozen provides a really good way of providing shared access to critical mainframe data between batch and online applications.”
