Attachmate - Smart Connector Enterprise Edition for IMS

Attachmate® myEXTRA![tm] Smart Connector for IMS

(distributed in the Attachmate® myEXTRA![tm] Smart Connector Enterprise Edition)

Smart Connectors:

  • Implement a service-oriented architecture to granularly access legacy data and business logic and encapsulate it in a reusable format.
  • Non-invasively expose legacy data and business logic for use in new applications - no host code changes required.
  • A graphical, drag-and-drop tool securely encapsulates legacy transactions as reusable objects in the format that is native to the Sun Java System Application Server.
  • Management and Control Services provide centralized management of callable services so that developers can share them, and administrators can remotely manage connector security and monitor activity.
  • Extend the capabilities of rehosted CICS applications on Sun servers to integrate legacy transactions with new applications.
  • Support industry-standard load balancing and cluster methods common to middle-tier implementations. Smart Connectors are portable so they can run on larger, high-end systems, including the mainframe to leverage its security, reliability, and scalability.
