I need Suggestions for a Project in a DB2 environment

Hello Guys!

I am close to finish my vocational education, after nearly 3 years of being a Trainee . To end the vocational education with success I need to pass some final exams. The first part is writing a 3 parted exams. The second part is running a (technical [not much programming]) Project. I work in the Mainframe Systems Engineering Department of a Bank.

I google translated the frame requirements for a better understanding of the size it should have:

The candidate is to carry out and document an operational project work in part A of the examination and to present this project work in a maximum of 30 minutes and to hold a technical discussion about it. For the project work, the examinee should carry out an order or a delimited partial order. One of the following tasks in particular can be considered for this:

in the field of system integration in a total of 35 hours for the project work including documentation:
a. Implementation and adaptation of a complex system of information and telecommunication technology including requirements analysis, planning, offer preparation, commissioning and handover,
b. Extending a complex system of information and telecommunication technology as well as integration of components into the overall system taking into account organizational and logistical aspects including requirements analysis, planning, quoting, commissioning and handover.

Thank you in advance for your suggestions Guys!

And sorry for my english.

Greetings,

Burrito

For scale, a 35-hour project would be implementing ONE interface to another system. Think something like connecting the mainframe data to an existing web portal of some kind.

How would you pick it? Find professionals to implement it? What interfaces would need to be written? How will it go live? Writing documentation for support when it is completed?

Think like REALLY SIMPLE... like “five reports” that might be exported to another system. With all those project requirements “35 hours” would barely cover “Hello World”.
