Gregory Brignoni Email & Phone Number

duties include: resolution of documented issues (thru their incident reporting system) occurring on their CICS / eCOBOL / DB2,/HR Systems. These issues typically involve navigational or functional problems, in these CICS/DB2/eCOBOL programs and often involve weekly meetings with departmental staff from Student Financial Services Division and HRMS staff, to gather incident details or incident specification corrections. Frequent emails between Expert Users , Operations Analysts and User Acceptance teams are used to notify completion of these incident reports and eventual promotion to production using SCLM functions. • Responsible for the Bi-monthly transmission of New Hire information by district, via FTP of HTML data generated by eCOBOL programs, to the State EDD servers and IRS servers. This process was recently streamlined/modernized, as it was mostly manual and involved copying text files, on the servers, uploaded from the mainframe, and encrypting the data onto CD, password protecting the CD and delivering the CD to SFS personnel, for mailing to Sacramento.• Responsible for the creation of the Monthly extract of employee Benefit , comma-delimited text data, from EDB tables, exporting it to EXCEL spreadsheets for balancing and summarization and distribution to HRS Benefits staff and senior Accounting staff. • Daily formatting of Fault Analyzer data into custom H.R. Fault Analyzer reports by Application System, for distribution to Applications management.• Worked on a team project to re-write and debug the HR Personnel Future transactions System. This involved debugging and re-designing COBOL/CICS/DB2 programs and associated maps and accessing new Future DB2 elements and tables. • Worked on a project to improve and update test scripts for HP’s Quick Test Pro, for certain ‘core’ CICS systems. And once completed, these QTP test scripts were moved to the Load Runner environment.

As a Soft-Train Consultant, supporting the LACOE Payroll/HR System Migration implementation project, on their IBM / Z/OS / MVS System, Client-Server, using eCOBOL / CICS / DB2 / HTML programming debugging skills. • Primary duties include: resolution of documented issues (thru their reporting system) occurring on their newly upgraded/converted CICS / eCOBOL / DB2 / HTML, HR and Payroll Systems. These issues typically involve navigational or functional problems, in these CICS/eCOBOL programs and often involved weekly meetings with departmental staff from Student Financial Services Division and HRMS staff (using CALPERS data), to gather incident details or incident specification corrections. Frequent emails between Expert Users and User Acceptance teams were used to notify completion of these incident reports. This migration project involved a Bull System using VSAM files, to an IBM Z/OS mainframe using DB2/CICS/HTML interfaces via IP Server and Intranet portal. The HRMS system was written by INTEGRAL for both the Bull legacy system and the upgraded for the IBM/ZOS platform. • Assigned tasks on the Credential System and related state download files. Produced a set of CICS/eCOBOL/HTML programs accessing new DB2 data (Archive tables) and sending HTML screens, to replace microfiche. Created DB2 load programs using the newly expanded State Credential download file via the State website. Helped to eliminate microfiche viewers, microfiche service and freed shared office space for the microfiche equipment. Met weekly with the Credential System management to demo new programs, gather specifications and requirements, and receive feedback or user acceptance of newly implemented programs. Gained/improved experience using: SCLM, WINSQL, DEBUGGER. • Some knowledge-based cross training occurred since most of LACOE’s staff is Bull Systems based.

As an Irvine Technology Corp Contract Programmer/Analyst, supporting the Experian SBCS System (Small Business Credit Share), on their IBM / Z/OS 1.7 / MVS System, using Easytrieve+ to write conversion programs. Experian is a leader in the Credit Bureau sector and maintains DB2 databases of approximately 26 Terabytes. • Primary duties include: writing Easytrieve programs to convert historical contributor data to directly batch-update (using Cobol2/DB2) their post-legacy DB2 Systems. Also, working with Testers, in Quality Assurance, to adhere to standards, specification modifications and data-translation changes. Identified corrections or improvements to Systems Requirements Documents. Nominated ‘Lead Programmer’, for meeting all QA’s required changes, on all Easytrieve conversion programs being tested, and being written by a staff of 8 contract programmers. Researched and recovered, data sources for conversion. Attended weekly meetings, which included staff from Applications Development, Project management, the Department Director, end-user departmental management, DBA(s) and QA. These meetings were held for resolving data conversion issues, scheduling implementation steps and targeting data sources for conversion. • Performed ad-hoc programming duties, such as re-testing and promoting groups of Cobol2 programs, copybooks, PROCS and JCL, through the various stages of libraries within ENDEVOR. Met with QA to determine any programming or JCL Standards adherence issues and determine scheduling. • Attending Production Support meetings. Sometimes being assigned issue resolution tasks involving batch or CICS / DB2 programs.
