e-mail request for approver notification.
- August ~ September 2009 Wells Fargo Education Systems Sioux Falls South Dakota
Completed a migration from Changeman to Endevor mainframe platform using the CA Fast
Implementation Tool Kit onto CA Endevor R12 SP(3). Configured the Endevor platform and converted all data files, activated e-mail notification, conducted user training and knowledge
transfer to Wells Fargo staff.

Performed a migration of an Endevor mainframe platform from ACI Kansas City to JP Morgan’s GTI mainframe in New Jersey. Separated source from source and added code to processors to maintain separation.
- January 2007 ~ July 2008 American Family Insurance Madison Wisconsin
Successfully completed the conversion from a customer built CTP process using CA/Librarian called AFOMS (American Family Operating Management System) to Release 7 service pack (4).
Three large conversions and eight smaller ones were completed over the course of the 19 months. This was a venture started in 1998 when Endevor was first installed.
Enhancements were also completed that mirrored features from AFOMS as well as new enhancements for auditing and ease of use such as:
a.) A COBOL e-mail notification exit routine was designed to facilitate all package approval
processing, auditing requirements and emergency package procedures. Developers
would get an e-mail when a package was ready to be approved, when it was approved
and when it was executed (the e-mail telling them that the package was shipped was
never turned on). Additional auditing e-mails were sent to the change management
department anytime the Override signout feature was used, an element was moved
w/SYNC or if the developer executed and shipped an Emergency package that required
approvals after the fact.
b.) When generating a new package a COBOL exit routine would bring up custom ISPF
screens to create a new package ID that adhered to the American Family naming
convention. Packages would be built for elements that didn’t ship (JCL, copybooks)
and all other elements with executables that needed to be shipped at set times of the day.
c.) In conjunction with item B a separate COBOL exit routine would prevent the resetting
of any package that was in status ‘EXECUTED’ unless authorized and would write out
shipping records to the appropriate dataset so the scheduled procs that ran throughout the
day/night would ship the required executables.
- January 2007 Health Management Systems New York City New York
During a conversion to Endevor performed all end user (developer) training using the CA/EN140 (end-user) syllabus.
- September – December 2006 ~ Ameritas Insurance Lincoln Nebraska
Ameritas was converting from CA/Panapt to CA/Endevor in order to streamline their change to production process. To complete this task a pilot Endevor platform was built so a chosen team could place their code in Endevor and run parallel testing. I designed all the Endevor environments to match Panapt, built the COBOL and Assembler processors, wrote all the JCL and created/sized/initialized all the necessary datasets to support the product.
- August – September 2006 ~ Fannie Mae Washington D.C.
During a conversion to Endevor I performed all end user (developer) training. CA issued me
an instructor ID which authorized me to use the CA/EN140 (end-user) and CA/EN107 (administrator) syllabus.
- May - December 2005 ~ PEMCO Insurance Seattle Washington
This company decided to remove their Serena Changeman product and convert to Endevor 7.0 service pack (2). This was an intense and complicated conversion that spanned three LPARS and required that they all run from one Endevor platform. All source, JCL, SAS, SQL etc had to be downloaded from Changeman and loaded to Endevor without disrupting their batch cycle or online regions. In addition a pilot team was chosen to shake out the system and additional teams/domains were regularly implemented throughout the project with no impact to their daily operations.
- December 2004 ~ Los Angeles Unified School District in California.
Installed newest version of Endevor to their existing platform. Release and maintenance upgrades were never performed causing the company to fall dangerously behind in their software Releases. The upgrade was from Release 3.7 service pack (4) to Release 4.0 service pack (2). This required reformatting of the package and master file VSAM datasets, running regression testing on their test LPAR and re-applying any custom changes to screens, exit routines and tables.
