Answer Posted / sathish

hi,

For Mainframe Testing the basic stuff that you need to know,
1) First we need to get RACF ID (Appliction ID)
2) You want to know about the ISPF commands
3) Required Dataset (This is nothing but the table name)

How it works: JCL

For example i am working in one application, Here Mainframe
is the Front End and the Oracle Database is the Backend. IT
Support will run the batch/job in the ETL Data Stage
application to push the data from mainframe to DB.

Role of tester here is need to validate the data in the
Database against the Mainframe.

The most important thing here is you need to know some
basic shortcuts when you are using Mainframe.

For Example:

Command line-----------cols (Gives the postion number in
the header)

B ---- Browse
E ----- Edit
V ----- View

This is just a sample. If you want to know contact me at

Thanks
