. Harry Fox Agency - New York

Onsite Project Director representing Horizon Companies for a large mass

remediation project for changing code in RPG / ILE programs carried out at

Horizon's offshore facility in Mumbai, India. Horizon Companies provided

RPG developers and technical managers working remotely from India. The

project scope involved complete analysis of grouping of programs using

common files by doing program explosions through Hawkeye generating an

explosion graph. The programs thus grouped were remediated to replace the

existing IO code with a call to the GET programs done by running HFA

supplied utility for each unit and any programming efforts required for

compilation. This modified code was intended to access an external database

bypassing the native DB2/400.

For the most part, developers were working with a custom code generating

tool and special procedures that could not be directly integrated into the

Change Management System. Consequently, coding was done working outside of

change management and results brought into the change management process

when ready for testing. All the documents like Code review, Unit Testing,

QA, Project Status Report, Weekly Status report; Conference Call minutes

etc were prepared in Horizon formats designed under ISO 9001-2000

Methodology customized to the HFA Darwin offshore project.

The deliverables involved Program explosion document, Task grouping

document, Program code review, Unit testing at program level, Program

integration testing of related programs and QA document at task level with

user signoff at each level.
