Project is currently underway and scheduled to be completed early 2007
Lessons Learned
The keys to a successful migration are planning, a well-defined process and strong project management.
Do not underestimate the effort involved (even with tools)– Technology mixes create numerous integration issues
Testing will be the most labor intensive and costly component, but also the most important
The more you can get involved and provide resources, the more successful the project will be– Costs can also be better contained this way
Do not include too much into the project– Focus on getting it over and getting it working first, then enhance
Minimize application enhancements during migration period. Limit technology changes when moving to target platform.
– Stick to proven paths and technologies
Lessons Learned
Proof-of-concepts / “Technology Milestones” at the beginning of a project are a good way to mitigate risk and to identify and solve problems
Inventory what needs to be migrated at the beginning; do not pay to migrate obsolete code
Wrapper technologies eases migration and simplifies testing. No effect on performance
Watch for dependencies on MPE/iX that are not documented or immediately obvious
Deployment is not often as easy as a weekend cut-over. Careful planning is critical– Leveraging database synchronization software may be needed
