SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Coordinating a multi‑phase mainframe-to-cloud migration is complex; teams need a single source of truth to track progress, enforce dependencies, and invoke the correct domain skills.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • State Management: Reads and updates the MIGRATION_STATE.json file to keep the migration lifecycle consistent.
  • Phase Gate Enforcement: Validates prerequisites before launching each phase, preventing out‑of‑order execution.
  • Skill Invocation: Loads the appropriate phase skill such as JCL crawler or SMF analyzer based on user commands.
  • Dashboard and Reporting: Generates status dashboards and MIPS cost‑saving reports for stakeholders.

Quick Start

Tell the orchestrator to begin a new migration by saying “/migrate init”.

Frequently Asked Questions about mainframe-orchestrator

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I track the progress of a mainframe-to-cloud migration workflow?▼

The orchestrator enforces phase gate rules during mainframe-to-cloud migration by validating prerequisites before launching each phase. This mechanism prevents out-of-order execution and ensures dependencies are met before proceeding.

How do I start an IBM z/OS modernization project using an orchestrator?▼

You start an IBM z/OS modernization project by initializing the migration state with a simple command. The orchestrator then coordinates the end-to-end workflow, invoking domain skills like JCL crawlers or SMF analyzers based on your inputs.

Can I generate MIPS cost-saving reports for mainframe migration stakeholders?▼

Yes, you can generate MIPS cost-saving reports for mainframe migration stakeholders. The orchestrator produces these reports alongside status dashboards, providing visibility into migration progress and cost reduction metrics automatically.

Does the mainframe orchestrator work with JCL crawlers and SMF analyzers?▼

The mainframe orchestrator works with JCL crawlers and SMF analyzers by loading the appropriate domain skill for each phase. It invokes these specialized tools based on user commands to execute specific IBM z/OS modernization tasks.

What are the limitations of automating mainframe migration state management?▼

A limitation of automating mainframe migration state management is its reliance on MIGRATION_STATE.json for consistency. If phase prerequisites are not met, the gate enforcement prevents execution, requiring manual resolution before the workflow can proceed.
