  1. Application Modernization at theDefense Logistics Agency Mark Haynie CTO, Application Modernization

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

  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. Meeting DLA/DISA RMCMRelease 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 • Check Out • Author 1 • Local Repository • Check In • Master Development Repository • Author 2 • Local • Repository

  11. Possible future directions for DLA and others Security Mapping SOA, Web Services Web 2.0 Aggregations – feed-readers Integrators – Mash-ups Web 2.0+ RESTful operations
