Automate the process of making VSAM data accessible in Db2 on z/OS or any other JDBC-enabled database
Configuring PropelZ for Db2
PropelZ connects to Db2 using IBM’s Db2 JDBC driver. Whether Db2 is running on the same z/OS system or elsewhere in the network, PropelZ can seamlessly interact with it to enable automated data transfers from VSAM files.
Handling Data Types and Structures
PropelZ uses customer-provided metadata (such as COBOL copybooks) to map VSAM fields to Db2 columns. It automates the adjustment for any data type differences, ensuring data is correctly transferred into Db2.
Automating the ETL Process
PropelZ automates the extraction, transformation, and loading of VSAM data into Db2 without requiring manual intervention. It runs from the command line, within scripts, or through standard z/OS JCL and can be scheduled or run on-demand.
Ready to unlock the full potential of your VSAM data?
No-Code Simplicity
PropelZ automates the process without requiring extensive coding, making it easy to share VSAM data with SQL platforms.
Flexibility
PropelZ treats Db2 as just another SQL database, allowing users to leverage Db2’s advanced capabilities with minimal configuration.
Cost Efficiency
PropelZ runs on System Z zIIP processors, minimizing mainframe utilization costs.
Incremental Updates
PropelZ can handle incremental migrations, updating Db2 with new VSAM records as they are added, ensuring the process is efficient and scalable.
