Initial state:
Î
You have a VSAM file that contains data
(i.e. FFSTORES.DEMO.CLUSTER)
Î
You have applications that work with that VSAM file
(i.e. FFST CICS Application)
Goal:
Î
Redirect all VSAM requests to DB2 UDB on Windows
Î
Access the data with existing applications (without changing them)
NOTE: The VSAM Redirector Server does NOT require the
VSE Connector Client on Windows
STEP4.1:
Define a map
To move the data into a database, you must know the format of the records.
Therefore you must do a mapping containing all fields including their offset in
the record, length and type.
–
Start the VSE Navigator, connect to the VSAM host, and navigate to the VSAM
cluster
FFSTORES.DEMO.CLUSTER
.
–
Right click the Cluster, choose "
Create map definition
". Enter a name for the
map, e.g. "
MAP
"
–
Right click on the map, choose "
Change map definition
":
