QWing Migration Tool
The QWing Migration Tool offers the possibility of an automated migration from Endevor² to Git (GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket ...).
Functionality:
- Automate the migration process from Endevor® to Git (GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket, etc.).
- Communicate through the Git Command Line interface.
- Define export rules based on System, Subsystem, Element, Type, or use a shopping list (element-based).
- Populate Git in the correct sequence according to the original timestamp and author
- Choose to export all versions or only the last n versions, including sync levels.
- Create Git paths during the import process.
- Import Deltas into existing repositories.
Process:
- Identify export elements through system/subsystem/.. or shopping list.
- Specify the number of elements to be exported.
- Utilize the Endevor® API for exporting and store the elements in a PDS.
- Sort the elements based on predefined rules.
- Execute (USS) Git fast-import.
- Perform Delta migration if necessary.
- Choose between a Big Bang or step-by-step (iterative) migration.
- Establish an archive with elements that have not been migrated to Git.
QWing archive
When creating an archive, the data is created from Endevor² on the mainframe using standard methods and written to files stored in an appropriate file structure on Linux or Windows.
Both the file names and file structure can be defined according to your specifications.
The information is generated in an iterative delta process. All data currently stored in Endevor² can be archived.
The elements to be archived must be specified.
Typically, this is done at levels such as Environment, Stage, System, Subsystem, Type...
