We are excited to announce public availability of an enhanced dataset discovery workflow for AWS Mainframe Modernization File Transfer with BMC. This new capability makes it easier for users to discover and select mainframe data sets for conversion and transfer to AWS. Users can now browse the mainframe data set catalog directly from the AWS Mainframe Modernization service console, select data sets from one or multiple mainframe volumes for transfer, view extended data set metadata, and choose data set codepage conversions. The enhanced workflow provides an intuitive and unified mechanism for mainframe data access and transfer.

AWS Mainframe Modernization File Transfer allows customers to seamlessly discover, copy and convert mainframe data sets for a variety of use cases such as mainframe application modernization and migration, and mainframe data driven augmentation using AWS. Using advanced compression, conversion of source mainframe encodings, and automation, mainframe data sets can be transferred to Amazon S3 storage. Once the mainframe data is on AWS, it can be harnessed for application modernization, analytics, Machine Learning, and Artificial Intelligence enabling agility, cost savings, and innovations.

AWS Mainframe Modernization File Transfer is available through the AWS Mainframe Modernization service console. To learn more, visit AWS Mainframe Modernization service product and documentation pages.
