Confidential, Enterprise Architecture announced to the application development community that the strategic direction for applications requiring Message Oriented Middleware is to code to the native IBM WebSphere MQ application program interface and eventually implement message flows in Websphere Message Broker. As a result, the BNY Mellon Message Wrapper BMW product was moved into containment. The only software changes that will be made to the product will be lights-on changes needed to keep the existing product working correctly. All existing BMW components used by the applications will be migrated to message flows deployed in Websphere Message Broker in a phased manner.

Responsibilities

• Engage Enterprise Architecture team for Architecture Solution Review in new application development and issue waiver for applications requiring BMW, based on the understanding that the application must rework to remediate the use of BMW in an agreed time frame.
• Initiate and assist with the design task for replacing the features that BMW currently provides with equivalent functionality in MQ as a part of BMW retirement plan.
• Identify ways for replacing application using BMW Sessions with Native MQ queues.

Confidential is a software tool designed to orchestrate BMW software testing in an automated process. In this phase, primarily the BITS Test Manager Proxy component has been expanded to support BMW COBOL and JMS interface testing. Since most of the BMW User community uses legacy COBOL code for message transfer across BMW Sessions, expanding support for testing BMW COBOL interface adds value to validating consistency of the BMW software.

Responsibilities

• Develop COBOL interface as a wrapper for BMW COBOL API and provide static calls from C programming to invoke COBOL methods.
• Provide multi-thread support for COBOL interface to make invocation to BMW COBOL methods by multiple test instances.
• Build EJB Session Bean with wrapper methods around BMW JMS Interface. Deploy EJB on Weblogic server and update the BITS GUI for listing JMS support for testing.
• Build MQ infrastructure between z/OS and other distributed test platforms for expanding the testing scope.
• Develop GUI to facilitate Regression testing with user input selection of different BMW version releases for API and Utility software components on a platform basis and analyze the behavior of BMW software under different version release.

Confidential implementation mainly focuses on expansion of the Test Manager Proxy component to Mainframe z/OS systems both in Batch and CICS mode. Most of the BMW message links exists on Mainframe systems for Federal reserve, SWIFT network users etc,. Also the intelligence of the system and its performance are fine tuned to provide better efficiency and flexibility in testing and managing the MQ test environment across platforms supported for testing. The major development and testing activity performed as a part of Phase 2 provided better testing for BMW 5.0 production release.

Responsibilities

• Enhance the performance of the testing by providing option to user to select multiple test environments to orchestrate the test execution and graphical display of real-time progress of the test execution performed in remote test environments. Using WebSphere MQ, status of the test executions are captured and transferred between different systems supported for testing the software.
• Facilitate Dynamic message input and volume testing by storing messages of different formats and length in static files placed on each test platforms. Provide facility in GUI for users to select the default file or custom file placed by user in their own directory and perform testing with messages of varied types.
• Develop Multi-threaded Test Manager Proxy component in C language platform specific module to perform test execution on z/OS. Build JCL for compiling C modules for both Batch and CICS mode of execution, pre-link with BMW DLLs and Link edit with BMW and MQ Batch and CICS Stub modules.
• Use Multi-threaded approach in Batch mode for test execution and non-threaded approach in CICS as the CICS system takes care of the multi tasking efforts internally.
• Setting up CICS PCT entry for BITS Test Manager Proxy transaction and MQ Queue manager objects establishing test environment in z/OS systems and MQ infrastructure across all 4 platforms for inter-communication asynchronously.
• Set up FCT entry for VSAM ESDS file on CICS region supported for BITS testing. This file loads the message inputs of varied type for testing BMW send / receive API points and their behavior on various message types.
• Enhance the logging features of the testing on all platforms supported by the system. Log the reports with details focusing on severity of the event, timestamp and the component or module responsible for reporting such event.
• Provide GUI for managing and controlling the attributes of test environment queues using WebSphere MQ Admin Application programming interface in Java. Thereby reducing the manual work of resetting the MQ configuration for controlled test execution.
