Data Migration using DVM - Migration of any data source to RDBMS .

In present world, there are N number of systems running in Mainframes, especially IMS DB, ADABAS, VSAM datasets.

When an enterprise is needy to move the data present in above sources into a DB2 Data source to support their modern applications using JDBC or Middle tier components like(EJBs, Webservices,etc.), It requires lots of efforts to write up new modules for migration from one of the Data sources IMS, ADABAS, VSAM to RDBMS data sources.

It Requires lots of Coding effort in Middleware and Mainframe coding languages to do this. But DVM bridges this gap already by connecting to various data sources.
