1. 1 Application Modernization at the Defense Logistics Agency Mark Haynie CTO, Application Modernization

2. 2 Defense Logistics Agency  Supplies material for military, humanitarian efforts  54,000 requisitions / day  5.2 million items in supply chain  21,000 employees  120,600 MREs distributed during SoCal fires last week  DoD Distribution Command  12 North American depots  26 distribution centers world wide  ? Mobile depots  Command  DLA Directory Lt. Gen Robert Dail  DLA Vice Director Maj. Gen. Arthur Morrill, III  DLA Command Sgt. Maj. David Roman  DLA J6U – Distribution Standard System

3. 3 Application Modernization Efforts at DLA  Distribution Standard System (DSS)  9 MLOC of CICS COBOL / APS 4GL  DISA managed IBM z9  Requirements  Streamline order process, order fulfillment  Eliminate paper and FAX based orders, data entry  Support enablement, delegation directives  Allow “18yr old sailor to place an order” over the Web  Replace “green screen” terminal users with Web based  Integrate with CAC Card PKI security system  Integrate external shipping contractors’ Web service interfaces  USPS, UPS, FedEx, DHL ship < 100lbs  Reuse all business logic – it works  Deploy to mobile depots  Non-glass house environment; ability to operate without communication to DISA data centers  Overseas deployment in March

4. 4 DLA Two-pronged Approach  Web and SOA enable IBM System z DSS application  Micro Focus EnterpriseLink  1000s of web pages created in 6 months  Supports existing 26 worldwide depots  Extend DSS application onto IBM System p with IBM AIX  Micro Focus Server for Mainframe Migration  Supports CICS COBOL environment on AIX  DB2 Data  Micro Focus Server Express  Along with Migration Toolkit, identify and migrate apps  Micro Focus EnterpriseLink  Same Web and SOA projects as used on the mainframe  Supports mobile ally, floating and battlefield depots

5. 5 Web and SOA enablement with EnterpriseLink  Intuitive hyperlinking, button navigation  Combine multiple CICS transactions into one page  Alternative views for different audiences, access levels, languages  Single sign-on  Generation of PDF, Excel format  Meet SOA initiatives without modification  Web pages are accessible as a Web Service  External Web Services are integrated into Web pages

6. 6 ReHost with Server for Mainframe Migration  Micro Focus Mainframe Compatibility  COBOL  CICS  IMS TM, DB  JCL  VSAM  SAF  Migration Tools  Mainframe Express – EBCDIC reference platform  Server Express – compile, edit, test  Enterprise View – Application Portfolio Manager  Migration Toolkit – tools for analyzing code  EnterpriseLink Test Harness – functional, stress tests

7. 7  Deploy in a cluster environment  EnterpriseLink Cluster Server, Oracle RAC, Microsoft SQL Server 2005 active/passive  Disaster recovery (DR) deployments, replication EnterpriseLink Cluster Servers Micro Focus Server for MM RDBMS High Availability Deployment

8. 8 Highly Secure Deployments  Micro Focus Server for Mainframe Migration  Supports IBM Secure Access Facility  DLA using CA Access Control (equivalent to CA TopSecret) to CICS transactions  Micro Focus EnterpriseLink  SSL https:// browser encryption (DLA)  TLS Security to the host (Army Medicine)  Security Mapping Facility maps CAC Card PKI to IBM SAF (CA TopSecret, Access Control) profiles (possible; not deployed)

9. 9 Meeting DLA/DISA RMCM Release Management / Configuration Management Complex rollout demands change management Unit Test, System Test, QA, Pre-Production, Production, Retired Lights-out remote management Benefits – –Support of multiple authoring teams – –Manage rollout – –Manage change Master Development Repository Author 1 Local Repository Author 2 LocalRepository Check Out Check In
