Main Project: DBE Migration

Year long project (June 2011 – June 2012) Convert all files in scope to use new logic Sets variables based on DBE environment DBE variable: local, test, production

DBE Migration – C++

Retrieved and printed financial information

Added programming changes Created testing plan Ran program on two computers at once

to compare output Didn’t quite go as planned…

DBE Migration – C++

if (DBE = local){

filepath = C:\…}if (DBE = test){

filepath = //test file share}if (DBE = production){

filepath = //production file share }

DBE Migration - FTP

FTP: Copies files from mainframe to hard drive, or vice versa.

Used Test ESP to test Completed PCR/ Job Requisition forms for

production testing Submitted LBT document changes Sent Testing Sign Off form

DBE Migration – Batch Utility

Generally used to move or rename files Added logic similar to C++ files Used similar testing process to FTP jobs Example: Move test files into dated

folders

DBE Migration – Batch Utility

set today=%date:~10,4%%date:~4,2%%date:~7,2%if “%DBE%” = “” (

echo DBE variable not setexit 7

)if “%DBE%” = “local” (

set filepath = C:\...)…move %filepath% %filepath%%today%exit 0

DBE Migration – File Watchers

Waits a certain amount of time for a file to be FTP’d

Stops running after it finds the file or the time limit is exceeded

Check mainframe for result Successful if it found the file Failed if the file was not found
