Mainframe Application Developer

Responsibilities:

• Gather Business requirements to create teh High Level and Low level Design.
• Carry out Feasibility study on collecting necessary data points to support teh project implementation and publishing teh result of impact analysis.
• Co-ordinate wif offshore team on regular basis and make sure all teh Deliverables are aligned to teh proper timelines and achieving teh milestones.
• Converting teh Cobol-SQL stored procedures to Native SQL stored procedures in order to has better performance and makes teh system light weight to meet teh SLA requirements.
• Automation of repetitive / frequent activities.
• Creating Run book and Maintaining run book till teh project implementation.
• Resolving batch abends like DB2 SQL codes (-805,-904,-204,-911,-913 and many) to provide uninterrupted support for online threads/Batch wifin teh given SLA and working on RCA and permanent fix.
• Handling Optimization tasks to tune teh existing SQL query.
• Proposing teh Business to convert teh legacy mainframe systems to integrate wif open source to provide better look and feel to teh users and reducing mainframe cost.
• Worked on teh Fast Track Project Recession Offer for Morgan Stanley clients to provide buyback offer facility where they could request Firm to buy back their specified owned shares bought on teh specified period. It required New Databases to get created to hold teh trades which are eligible for buy back and creation of SQL stored procedures to interact wif .Net platform. It also receives teh feed from Teradata and provide teh feedback for Business intelligence reporting.
• Worked on teh project ‘Firm wide Enterprise Authorization system’ which enables Margin Legacy systems to use teh Firm wide accepted Authorization system instead of local system. It required around 100 CICS modules, Maps, Resource control table entries need to be analyzed and required multiple teams co-ordination to replace teh Legacy old system of authorization. It required much due diligence on implementation since teh authorization is very critical for Margin Ops to carry out their day to day activities.
• Worked on teh Project ‘3D Alerts Integration’ which aimed in replacing CICS screens wif teh new look and feel Plat form enables teh User in getting teh instant alerts on important transactions or exceptions. dis project aims in technology shift from one plat form to another plat form and also enabling teh Margin Ops user training made simpler. Technically dis is achieved thru Data is built and formatted to be transferred via MQ and using teh CICS routine teh required data is stored in teh Database which will in turn is used by Open source which enriches teh Data for better look and Feel.
