Mainframe COBOL Developer
As a mainframe developer for automobile company, participate in the analysis of the mainframe legacy system for the warranty system. The system helps the auto dealers sell the extended warranty for new cars, and a CPO program for used cars. The objective is to convert the legacy system with a Salesforce system which would define the types of the programs dealer can sell. The new system needs to access data from the mainframe through IIB and MQ environment.
Extensive use of MQ to get data from Salesforce and process on the mainframe

The system is developed with Agile methodology, with onshore/offshore developers
Document the design and appropriate artifacts using UML diagrams
Front end of the system for dealers was Java based accessed through the Web. For customer service employees the front end was developed in CICS.
Code and test COBOL CICS DB2 programs.
Code COBOL BATCH programs to Extract and Transform data that loaded into Data Warehouse
Code COBOL BATCH programs to update DB2 tables from various Vendors using XML format.
Code COBOL CICS programs to update DB2 tables by access MQ generated by other department
Use AQT tools to access Oracle Data Warehouse for testing
Participate in QA testing by using ALM (Application Lifecycle Management) bug tracking software

Populate DB2 tables with test data created in the COBOL BATCH programs
Write COBOL CICS programs to access the Credit Card DB2 tables.
Write COBOL programs to extract data from DB2 that will be loaded in the GemFire that resides on UNIX Accessed the inmemory database was through a Java process.
In the z/OS CICS environment automatic intercepting all VSAM operations, and instead of accessing VSAM files on the mainframe the system was accessing the inmemory database in the distributed system.
