How to Get to DB2 from VSE/VSAM Using DB2 VSAM Transparency for VSE/ESA

Many customers have already recognized the advantages of DB2 Server for
VSE & VM over VSE/VSAM, but could not spend the effort to convert their
business data and applications. With DB2 VSAM Transparency there is a
tool that eases conversion to DB2. After the manual input of the data
structures in VSAM and DB2, it performs the data migration automatically
and offers transparent access to DB2 from the unchanged VSAM applications.

DB2 VSAM Transparency can be used as a first step to exploit DB2; the
applications can later be modified step by step to further optimize the
data and application structure to the individual needs.

This redbook points to the critical areas in a conversion process, and in
detail explains the usage of the DB2 VSAM Transparency. It describes the
steps in using data migration and application Transparency, puts them in
the context of the overall conversion process and gives invaluable hints
and tips.

The redbook was written primarily for application programmers and system
programmers, but also for database administrators, managers and all those
who are responsible for planning and performing a database conversion.

Basic knowledge of VSE, DB2, and application programming is assumed.
