Attachmate

Attachmate® myEXTRA![tm] Smart Connectors programmatically integrate legacy data and business logic with e-business applications developed on the Sun Java Enterprise System platform. Smart Connectors also extend the value of Sun Mainframe Transactional Processing by capturing transactions from rehosted CICS applications for reuse in new applications. Based on Java 2 Enterprise Edition (J2EE) and open standards, Smart Connectors wrap captured legacy transactions as JavaBeans, EJB or J2EE architecture or J2EE Connector Architecture (JCA) Resource Adapters and provide easy-to-use development tools and Web-based centralized management for rapid development and deployment. Significant legacy investments are preserved and leveraged, delivering an immediate return on investment to sharpen your competitive edge.

Discover the smart value that Attachmate myEXTRA! Smart Connectors bring to your enterprise - leverage the reliability, security, and performance of your existing legacy resources to reuse in new enterprise-class applications developed on the Java Enterprise System platform and extend CICS applications rehosted on Sun servers.
