Responsibilities:

• Responsible for developing Java modules to parse XML files from upstream systems to extract required fields to perform further validation to store required data in the back-end DB2 database and creation of the downstream data in a XML format
• Responsible for analysis of impacts and requirements in order to prepare comprehensive Design documents such as High Level Design and Detail Design
• Extensively involved in testing Client/Server and Web applications and Middleware Applications
• Responsible for data construction and data insertion into the DB2 tables using stored procedures and SQL statements to set up the test environment.
• Experience in collecting statistics on the tables developed and their performance in order to sketch the database optimization plans. The optimization was done through different database tuning techniques such as using indexes, avoiding correlated sub queries and other required techniques.
• Experience in analyzing database issues and developing query plans for effective troubleshooting and providing optimal database performance
• Developed logic for modifying the Timestamp/Date/Time to synchronize data in the databases residing at 2 different time zones through stored procedures. Developed different stored procedures that were installed in 2 different Logical Partitions that included IPCE (East Region) and IPCW (West Region)
• Responsible for knowledge management activities and value add (innovation) management across Infosys and Confidential by creating and distributing necessary documents for reference
• Responsible for designing logic to migrate data from one mainframe region to other mainframe region using BMC utilities, NDM and XCOM utility jobs. This ensured that the jobs in other regions are triggered successfully once files are transferred using XCOM or NDM
• Proposed and implemented different ideas to optimize the system that saved a significant CPU and amount for the client. Proposed and implemented re-engineering ideas to scratch dead code from the application modules which saved more than 70K per annum for the client

Responsibilities:

• Expertise with a very new scheduler called Control M scheduler which is used in mainframe applications to schedule jobs so that the jobs are loaded automatically.
• Responsible for gathering all the necessary requirements for the migration process of the application modules and analysis of more than 1000 jobs to sketch necessary changes to make them compatible on Control-M scheduler
• Responsible for sketching deployment strategies which included stepwise implementation planning comprising of deployment timelines, different issue tracking techniques and solutions that ensured fast track and flawless progression of the project
• Responsible for analyzing all the application modules residing in different mainframe regions to frame necessary modifications required based on the type of modules to make them compatible on the new scheduler
• Responsible for installing the application modules initially in a dummy mode that replicated the migration environment in the production to ensure that most of the common migration issues are tracked in this mode.
• Responsible for continuous, meticulous monitoring of the migration process and smartly handling any issue arising during the migration process by raising production tickets
