PropelZ™ Incremental Mode Demo: Smarter, Faster Mainframe-to-Database Updates

See how VirtualZ's PropelZ™ simplifies mainframe data movement with its new Incremental Mode — delivering faster, smarter updates without reprocessing entire files.

In this 7-minute walkthrough, Vince Re, CTO of VirtualZ, demonstrates how PropelZ captures, transforms, and updates VSAM data directly into a relational database — automatically handling complex mainframe structures like packed decimals, binary fields, and floating-point data.

What you’ll see:
🔹 Viewing a real VSAM dataset in IBM File Manager (76,000+ airport records)
🔹 Understanding COBOL copybook metadata and schema mapping
🔹 Running PropelZ with the new Incremental option
🔹 Creating and populating MySQL tables with full index generation
🔹 Making live record edits and running a lightning-fast incremental update
🔹 Verifying changed records instantly in SQL

Key takeaway:
PropelZ Incremental Mode eliminates the need to reload or replicate entire files — it identifies and updates only what’s changed, reducing processing time by up to 20x while preserving full data integrity.
