Free up capacity for growth

Lassen Sie sich nicht von falschen Versprechen der Migration täuschen

When processing demands push your General Processor (GP) to capacity limits, you have less room for growth. Migration projects may promise relief, but moving mission-critical data or rewriting applications poses unpredictable timelines and unacceptable risks. Fortunately, there is a smarter way to reclaim mainframe capacity and create space for growth without jeopardizing business continuity.  

Take the smart path: Redistribute workloads efficiently 

Smarter workload optimization makes this possible. By redistributing your COBOL workload across your mainframe’s available processing resources, you immediately reclaim valuable GP capacity for new and growing workloads and system resilience improvements. It’s a straightforward way to optimize the resources you rely on today while ensuring your infrastructure supports what comes next. 

JOPAZ

A risk-free path to greater efficiency and performance 

With JOPAZ, you can optimize COBOL workloads to free up capacity without disrupting business operations. Don’t risk compromising your business—keep what works. Create space to grow and innovate by dramatically reducing COBOL batch workloads running on the general processor by over 80%. 

• Reclaim over 80% of GP capacity for COBOL batch workloads 
• Free up space for new and growing workloads 
• Sorgen Sie für Geschäftskontinuität mit einem risikoarmen Ansatz, bei dem Sie Ihren COBOL-Code behalten können 

So funktioniert JOPAZ

COBOL zu Java kompilieren 

JOPAZ compiles the source code of high-utilization COBOL workloads into Java bytecode at runtime, making them eligible to run on zIIP. 

Redistribute workload to zIIP 

JOPAZ then redistributes the Java-compiled COBOL workloads to Java Virtual Machines (JVMs) running on IBM zIIP, freeing capacity on the General Processor. No code rewrites, code conversion, or developer retraining needed.  

Access data sources 

Maintain reliable access to Db2®, Adabas, VSAM files and sequential files on z/OS with optimized runtime support. Dynamic and static SQL access to Db2 continues seamlessly, while JOPAZ JDBC connectivity can allow you to redistribute up to 60% of Db2 workload to zIIP for compounded capacity optimization. 

Optimize performance for JCL and batch integrations  

Bestehende JCL-Workflows bleiben erhalten, da die optimierte JOPAZ-Laufzeit DFSORT- und Syncsort-Operationen unterstützt. Externe 3GL- und Assembler-Routinen lassen sich ohne Änderungen integrieren und gewährleisten eine vollständige funktionale Äquivalenz mit Ihrer aktuellen Batch-Verarbeitungsumgebung. 

Entwickeln und Debuggen mit den Tools Ihrer Wahl  

JOPAZ leaves your COBOL source code untouched. You can continue to use traditional COBOL development tools or modernize the developer experience with other Eclipse-based environments. Adopt DevOps practices with a distributed version control system like Git. JOPAZ supports all these options. 

Geschäftskontinuität auf IBM Z aufrechterhalten 

Keep the IBM Z performance, security, and reliability your business depends on while dramatically reducing COBOL batch workloads running on the general processor by over 80%. With JOPAZ, you can avoid the risks of rip & replace and keep your business running without disruption.
