Specifications include, but are not limited to: The project will Re-platform the SETS system from an aging mainframe platform using Cobol, IMS/DC to a .Net SQL Server system. The selected qualified Contractor will conduct a comprehensive assessment of the SETS application built on the IBM IMS database and Cobol technology and develop the plan and convert to a .NET and Microsoft SQL Server architecture. The transition to the new platform will be to a platform “as is” with no enhancements to functionality. Re-platform includes a fully operational system that produces the same interfaces, reports and on-line functions that are currently in place. The approach is to ensure Ohio retains federal system certification. Complete details concerning a federally certified system can be found at: https://www.acf.hhs.gov/css/resource/certification-guide-2017. The Federal guide will be used to ensure SETS maintains certification and all enhancements meet the requirements outlined within. The Contractor is expected to utilize automated tools to convert the existing IMS database, Cobol and JCL to the new platform. There is the expectation that these tools may not have the capability to fully convert and that Contractor resources will be utilized to validate and potentially modify the resulting code to ensure the solution operates and produces the same online functions, reports, data interfaces and any other related processing that occurs within the current SETS mainframe application. The intent and desired outcome of converting to a relational database is to have a fully converted database that is not an encapsulation of the IMS segments within a relational database. The conversion to a relational database must enable the ability to access the data using standard SQL calls without using specialized runtime libraries or middleware software. The resulting database structure must allow direct access to all data using C#, Java and other languages and software such as Informatica, Cognos, Tableau, and Crystal reports using standard SQL statements.
