SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) and assets (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill provides standardized architectural guidance for integrating legacy on-premises mainframe systems with AWS, addressing the complexity of data replication, messaging, and file transfer while maintaining strict financial compliance.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Integration Patterns: Offers detailed patterns for Data Replication (Precisely), Asynchronous Messaging (IBM MQ), and File Transfer (HULFT/AWS Transfer Family).
  • Compliance Mapping: Provides a comprehensive mapping of these patterns against the FISC Security Guidelines (Practical Standards) to accelerate security reviews.
  • Use Case: Use this Skill when designing a migration or modernization project that requires real-time data synchronization between a z/OS mainframe and AWS-hosted analytics or AI services.

Quick Start

Use the fsi-foundation-mainframe-integration skill to retrieve the FISC compliance mapping table for the data replication pattern.
