This guide helps z/OS system administrators and application managers implement COBOL Migration Manager (CMM), a solution that identifies and tracks legacy COBOL programs in your environment. Learn the simple setup process to discover which older COBOL programs are still in use, enabling informed migration planning and technical debt reduction.

Considering the long-term success of z/OS running organizations, it is inevitable that technical debt in the form of COBOL programs using older compilers has accumulated over the years. COBOL Migration Manager (CMM) takes the guesswork out of identifying and addressing if those older programs are still in use.

Setup is simple.

  1. Verify your product

  2. Define reporting database

  3. Populate the PROGI dataset

  4. Enable monitoring

  5. Process SMF data

  6. Run reports

  7. Customize reporting
