1. Folksam migrating to IIS 8.7 Information Server User Group meeting 2013 Daniel Palmgren, Folksam

2. Situation January 2012 IIS 8.1 running on LPAR IBM P6 AIX 6.1 XlC 9 compiler DB2 LUW 9.5 DB2 z/OS (source) 12 DataStage projects 1500 jobs Local and virtual Windows XP clients moving to Windows 7 in June 2012

3. Reasons to upgrade to 8.7 Integration with Clear Case Debugger in DataStage Designer Operations Console Each job consumes less resources XML handling Current Designer is unstable

4. DB2 Enterprise stage Complicated setup with cross server mount Replaced with DB2 Connector Stage using tool Easy setup More modern and flexible interface More options

5. Connector Migration Tool

6. POC August 2012 Estimate time consumption Rewrites Migrated to 8.1 2009-2010 Quite painful, meny rewrites

7. Windows 7 8.1 Client does not support Windows 7 Skip poc, do the migration! Keep virtual XP clients until end of project

8. IBM Concierge Offered support during migration project Phone conference October 2012 Check requirements Choosing recommended path Ismigration tool

9. Installation path New server (lpar) Manually export – import jobs

10. Installation test October 2012 LPAR IBM P7 AIX 7.1 DB2 9.7 XlC 12 Installation and configuration – 1 day

11. Testing November - December Projects created All jobs imported and compiled

12. Test results A number of test jobs selected – 20 % 8.1 and 8.7 results compared successfully

13. Things changed DB2 z/OS. Bind error. ▫Re-import table definitions DB2 Connector ▫Changed execution mode to sequential Transformer null handling ▫Unhandled nulls gives compilation error ▫Correct null handling solves the problem

14. Production environment Installed in December 2012 XlC 12 not supported, changed to XlC 11 60 Gb RAM compared to 30 Gb for 8.1

15. Performance tests January 2013 Find optimal numer of concurrent jobs Tried 1-60 concurrent No more than 10.

16. Migrations 2013-02-18 First project successfully in production Migrating one project per week 2013-04-15 Last project migrated

17. Conclusion Painless installation of server and client Small number of adjustments Performance gain 10-30 % Time consumption 300 h plus 50 hours for install and config

18. Operations console

19. iKnow Monitoring job progress and server health Evaluate job statistics to improve performance Find slow moving jobs Find errors and warnings

20. iKnow

21. Job performance and hw usage

22. Process management & scheduling

23. What happened?
