Project 2000

Project 2000's architecture is centered around several key components designed to address Year 2000 compliance in CA-IDMS applications. The core components include the Schema/Set Analyzer, Date Converter, ADSO Source Analyzer, CA Culprit Source Analyzer, Date Simulator, Y2K BIFS, and Date Ager. These components are designed to work together to provide a comprehensive solution.

The Schema/Set Analyzer identifies sets and indexes using date keys, providing a starting point for analysis. The Date Converter allows for application modifications without database restructuring, which is a significant advantage. The ADSO Source Analyzer and CA Culprit Source Analyzer identify specific code sections that require modification.

The Date Simulator enables thorough testing of applications under various date scenarios. The Y2K BIFS provide functions to manipulate dates within ADS, OLQ, and LRF applications. The Date Ager allows for aging dates in CA-IDMS databases.

The components communicate through a command-line interface, with configuration managed via control files. The tools operate within the CA-IDMS environment, leveraging its existing infrastructure. The primary storage mechanism is the CA-IDMS database itself, where the applications and data reside.

There are no specific network ports required for the tools themselves, as they operate within the mainframe environment. The architecture is designed to integrate seamlessly with the CA-IDMS environment, providing a streamlined approach to Year 2000 compliance. The command-line interface allows for scripting and automation, enabling efficient batch processing.

The tools are designed to be non-intrusive, minimizing the impact on existing applications. Unlike other solutions, Project 2000 provides a specialized approach tailored for CA-IDMS, ensuring compatibility and ease of use.
