PropelZ™ Incremental Mode Demo: Smarter, Faster Mainframe-to-Database Updates
In this Skyward Data episode, Vince Re, CTO of VirtualZ and the original architect behind much of today’s mainframe innovation, walks through a live demo of PropelZ™ in its new Incremental Mode — showing how it delivers faster, smarter data movement without reprocessing entire files.
Over seven minutes, Vince demonstrates how PropelZ captures, transforms, and updates VSAM data directly into a modern relational database, automatically handling complex mainframe structures such as packed decimals, binary fields, and floating-point data.
What you’ll hear:
🔹 Viewing a real VSAM dataset in IBM File Manager (76,000+ airport records)
🔹 Understanding COBOL copybook metadata and schema mapping
🔹 Running PropelZ with the 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 pinpoints and updates only what’s changed — reducing processing time by up to 20× while preserving complete data integrity.
PropelZ™ — No-Code ELT for Mainframe, Linux, and Windows
Move your data where it needs to be — fast, accurate, and governed.
