Adabas VSAM Bridge

The architecture of Adabas VSAM Bridge comprises several key components: the VSAM Reader, the ADABAS Writer, the Control Module, and the Configuration Manager. The VSAM Reader extracts data from VSAM datasets, handling various VSAM file organizations. The ADABAS Writer inserts the extracted data into the ADABAS database, utilizing ADABAS's native APIs.

The Control Module orchestrates the migration process, managing data transfer, error handling, and logging. The Configuration Manager handles the mapping of VSAM fields to ADABAS fields and manages the overall configuration. Communication between components occurs via z/OS system services and internal data structures.

The product uses ADABAS as the target database, leveraging its features for data storage and retrieval. The product does not expose a REST or SOAP API. The primary interface is a command-line interface (CLI) with commands like `ADABAS_VSAM_MIGRATE`, `ADABAS_VSAM_VALIDATE`, `ADABAS_VSAM_STATUS`, and `ADABAS_VSAM_CONFIGURE`.

Configuration is managed through JCL and control cards. The product supports various data types and provides options for data transformation during migration. The product integrates with z/OS security for authentication and authorization.

Audit logging captures detailed information on migration activities. The product's design prioritizes performance and scalability, allowing for efficient migration of large datasets. The product's main advantage is its seamless integration with ADABAS, which competitors may not offer.
