IBM DB2 ImagePlus to Hyland Onbase

Data Strategies Interchange is pleased to announce the successful completion of  IBM DB2 ImagePlus Migration to Hyland Onbase.

The customer, a US state agency, had been using IBM ImagePlus under z/OS for archiving scanned images and computer-generated documents related to its operations. The legacy system was hosted on a z/OS Mainframe and used the OAM storage manager for object storage in a DB2 database.

IBM DB2 ImagePlus Migration was performed using remote access to customer hosted Windows migration servers employing Data Strategies Interchange’s proven document migration tools capable of performing migration services highly efficiently.

Remote migration is a process where Remote access to the infrastructure is provided by the customer where DSI installs its proprietary tools needed for the migration. This approach is typically taken by clients with a moderate level of security where data cannot leave the premises.

The project involved extracting OAM object segments from the mainframe hosted DB2 database to Windows disk – for further processing into complete documents. The documents, in TIFF, IOCA and PTOCA format were converted to the PDF format. Approximately 12 million documents and associated metadata were delivered using the Hyland Onbase Document Import Processor (DIP) format.
