In accordance with an embodiment, described herein is a system and method for determining the migration success of an application (e.g., a batch application) from a second computing platform (e.g., a mainframe platform) to a first computing platform (e.g., an open platform). A first database associated with the first computing platform and a second database associated with the second computing platform can include the same data baseline. A set of triggers can be created on each database to capture database modification events generated by the execution of a job associated with the application on each computing platform, and to store the database modification events in a table in each database. The database modification events from each computing platform can be downloaded and compared to determine the success of the application migration.

System and method for determining the success of a cross-platform application migration

A native Job Control Language (JCL) execution engine is provided in a mainframe rehosting platform/open platform for executing a migrated JCL job without converting the JCL job to another language. The JCL execution engine provides a framework which supports an internal JCL mechanism, a simulation of a plurality of mainframe utilities commonly used in JCL jobs, and a simulation of commonly used database utilities. When the JCL execution engine receives a JCL job, it generates a statement sequence from the JCL job, orders statements in the sequence into a doubly-linked sequence, and parses the doubly-linked sequence to construct a job element hierarchy tree for execution. A plurality of job initiators are provided to dequeue jobs from a job queue and dispatch the jobs to the JCL execution engine or another type of execution engine.
