Abstract
A computer performed method for designing a system which allows multiple mainframe environments to be supported and managed within the overall system environment through the use of (1) one or more dictionary domains arranged in a hierarchy to model the mainframe environments and a target system release facility to move a process, system, subsystem or record and all its related records to another dictionary domain, and (2) a consolidated project data encyclopedia which is shared by all users and divided into 5 logical data bases and 1 access module, thus allowing access to projects in different stages of development on the same physical data bases. A migration facility allows the user to manage the orderly progression of entities through the development life cycle by moving entities between logical data bases.
