Many business critical enterprise applications are based on IDMS database. IT departments are constantly under pressure to improve response times, support for larger volume of transaction processing, support Web based information delivery and business intelligence. The dwindling supply of programmers with knowledge of IDMS coupled with inherent weakness of IDMS is constraining IT department's response time to meet sustenance-engineering demands.

The preferred solution to this problem is migration of IDMS applications to a relational databases like DB2 etc. The advanced feature provided by relational databases, coupled with multi-platform environment support provides a infrastructure, which would support the growing needs of the enterprise application users.

An IDMS to DB2 renovation project is complex and requires careful planning and meticulous execution. The primary cause for concern is the software constraints and complexities that are common to legacy systems as these systems frequently lack basic documentation and in-house resources with application knowledge. Another level of complexity when migrating Legacy Systems to DB2 arises as such systems are based on the traditional system development model that separates the various programs from Data Structures. It is essential to use a tool that can provide system wide, application level, program level and data level relationship, association and impact through out the database renovation process.
