Reuse, recycle and renew mainframe applications and data on cost-effective open systems
Although a proven, high-volume platform for transaction and data processing, the high annual software costs associated with maintaining IBM® Information Management System (IMS™) applications and databases, combined with the shrinking pool of available skilled administrators, has many organizations looking for alternatives. Clerity enables IBM IMS Transaction Manager (TM) applications and IBM IMS Database (DB) environments to be rapidly migrated and reused on flexible Linux, UNIX, Microsoft Windows, and Linux on IBM® System z® platforms without the expense of re-engineering or risk of redevelopment with commercial off-the-shelf software. This innovative migration and modernization approach typically reduces annual operational costs 30-70% and enhances IT agility across the enterprise.

IBM IMS migration and modernization details
Clerity uniquely combines UniKix Mainframe Rehosting software, automated migration tools, and comprehensive, end-to-end service methodologies to migrate and modernize valuable IBM IMS workload environments on cost-effective Linux, UNIX, and Microsoft Windows-based systems.
- Mainframe-compatible transaction processing capabilities within UniKix software enable existing IBM IMS application logic, end user interface screens, and database models to operate intact in a new target environment. Transactions, communications, screens, data access elements and the IBM IMS hierarchical data model, run largely unchanged in scalable UniKix regions.
- Automated tools and migration procedures enable IBM IMS DB systems to quickly transformed into modern, relational databases, while native bridge programs allow legacy data access calls to continue unchanged.
- Existing 3270 Message Formatting Services (MFS) screens and IBM IMS Connect interactions are preserved, so end user operations continue undisrupted after a move.
Combined, these components provide an integrated solution to address a range of configurations, including:
- Environments deploying IBM IMS TM applications accessing IBM IMS DB data
- Environments deploying IBM® CICS® applications accessing IBM IMS DB data
- Environments deploying IBM IMS TM applications accessing IBM® DB2® data
- Environments deploying batch applications accessing IBM IMS DB data
