Chapter 32. Conversion Process
Converting a data processing installation from VSE/ESA to OS/390 is a complex
process that affects all areas of an installation. Personnel must learn different
procedures; operations work changes in many ways and applications that run
under VSE require conversion before they run under OS/390. Even managing the
migration project, which includes planning, allocating people and resources and
tracking the migration process, is a complex job.
Migration includes the entire process of moving your installation from VSE to
MVS. Conversion deals with the changes that an application running under VSE
requires to enable it to run under MVS.
