SMA OpCon → Apache Airflow

SMA OpCon is deeply embedded in banking, credit union, and financial-services batch operations. Its Job Masters, named Frequencies, Self-Service buttons, and tight core-banking integrations represent years of institutional knowledge and audit history. A migration to Airflow must match OpCon's compliance posture — SOX-ready audit logs, role-based access, and a parallel-run period that spans at least one month-end and one year-end cycle. BatchFoundry has run this programme for banking clients and knows where the edge cases hide.

Concept Mapping

The Hard Parts We Handle

• Job Masters with named Frequencies become Airflow Jinja-templated DAGs with shared timetables
• Self-Service 'click to run' actions wrapped in a thin React form backed by Airflow trigger_dag REST API
• SOX/audit-log extension: user, role, source IP, DAG version hash — matching what bank auditors expect from OpCon
• MAS (Mainframe Agent for SMA) customers paired with Mainframe Rehost solution
• Parallel run must cover a full month-end AND a full year-end cycle before decommission
• Background user permissions and CISO sign-off on the audit-log compatibility report
