Application: Writing and reading data sets to and from cloud storage for legacy mainframe applications (Patent ID: US20230393778A1)
The patent filed by BMC Software Inc. describes methods and a computer program product for facilitating the reading and writing of data sets to and from cloud storage for legacy mainframe applications. The process involves intercepting calls from the operating system, preparing for dataset writes, sending data chunks to cloud storage, finalizing the writing process, and intercepting unmount requests. This allows for direct data transfer from the mainframe to cloud storage without the need for intermediate storage.
The patent includes claims for computer-implemented methods performed by a mainframe computer, involving intercepting mount requests, preparing for dataset reads, reading data from cloud storage, finalizing the reading process, and intercepting unmount requests. Additionally, a computer program product is described, featuring a cloud agent module executed by the z/OS operating system, low-level I/O control events implementation, BSAM EOB routine for cloud storage data transmission, and exit routines for event notifications. The product also includes instructions for parallel storing and retrieving of data objects, encryption and decryption of data, data compression, filtering or sorting data, and reading data sets directly from various sources on cloud storage.
