CA TDM & CA Brightside Integration (Managing MF Jobs through TDM Portal)

[Cihan Ankara]

Hi All,

As you may followed on my previous post ( Triggering Mainframe Jobs with CA TDM Portal ), we have developed some custom functionalities which let you use all TDM Mainframe Add-on functionalities through CA Test Data Manager Portal (also through DataMaker).

With the release 4.8, TDM has now capability to perform Test Data Manager masking jobs on data stored in DB2 tables on the Mainframe, without the need to submit them directly on the Mainframe.

However, it still needs lots of work to be done manually. We have migrated our custom functionality and integrate CA TDM with CA Brightside to eleminate all these manual operations.

Prior to our custom solution, It basically lets you to submit and run Mainframe jobs to UNLOAD and LOAD masked data from source DB2 system to target DB2 system. You can submit those jobs from CA TDM Portal and get any information (Status, Return Codes, Execution Steps, Audits, Reports etc) about Mainframe jobs submitted in the back round.

That means any data requester can run that masking/subsetting jobs without the knowledge of Mainframe. That makes TDM to be used more widely and effectively.

We also extend reporting capability which now sends multiple emails and dataset maintenance because of high disk usage. 

Below you may find some screenshots about the process.
