AWS Mainframe Modernization introduces advanced operations for runtime environments

We are excited to announce that AWS Mainframe Modernization service is now available with greater control of managed runtime environments that run modernized mainframe applications.

For both refactored and replatformed applications, you can now export data sets to an Amazon S3 bucket. Optionally, you can choose to encrypt the exported data set. This export feature makes it easier to move data set across environments, or to archive data sets.

For applications refactored with AWS Blu Age, you can now restart a batch job at a specific step. This enables advanced batch operational and recovery procedures.

For applications replatformed with Rocket Software, you can now configure your managed runtime application using a base configuration compatible with Rocket Enterprise Server deployed on non-managed environments. This base configuration provides flexibility by allowing numerous advanced configuration parameters supported by Rocket Enterprise Server, such as CICS or IMS granular parameters. It also allows transferring exported configuration parameters from a Rocket Enterprise Server deployed on Amazon EC2 to an AWS Mainframe Modernization managed runtime application.

These new features are available in any AWS Region where AWS Mainframe Modernization managed runtime is already deployed. To learn more, please visit AWS Mainframe Modernization product and documentation pages.
