Timothy, Moving the data to the mainframe isn't an option here. We're aggregating data from several disparate systems already. We're either pushing mainframe data to an off-platform warehouse or we're pushing data from windows machines to the mainframe for aggregation. We already have the warehouse built and running, but are looking for a way to get data into it in a more real-time fashion.
I'll check the CDC tool you mentioned to see if it would fit our needs.

IBM InfoSphere Classic Change Data Capture for z/OS (5655-IM5), as a notable example, would help you do that. However, we're all learning (rapidly!) that that approach is often not a terrific solution pattern for a variety of reasons. It's usually better to bring the analytics/reporting to the data rather than the other way around for reasons of security, real-time insight, performance, and cost effectiveness. You can bring the analytics to the data using, as a notable example, IBM Open Data Analytics for z/OS (5655-OD1) featuring Apache Spark, perhaps in a federated Spark implementation. IBM Data Virtualization Manager for z/OS (5698-DVM) might also be part of the picture, separately or in combination with IODA-Z. And the IBM Db2 Analytics Accelerator (IDAA) can also be quite compelling. Yes, IDAA supports more than Db2 data. VSAM and IMS data can also be part of the IDAA. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Timothy Sipples IT Architect Executive, Industry Solutions, IBM Z & LinuxONE, Multi-Geography E-Mail: sipp...@sg.ibm.com ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN The information contained in this message is confidential, protected from disclosure and may be legally privileged.
