CONNX For Mainframe
For many organizations, Adabas, IBM VSAM, and IBM IMS applications running on z/OS, OS/390, z/Linux, and VSE provide mission-critical functionality with exceptional reliability, availability, and serviceability. Therefore, migrating such systems make not make good business sense.
Nonetheless, many organizations have a need to integrate these legacy applications with relational applications, and are also searching for a solution that enables users with advanced SQL skills to access legacy data using standard SQL-based tools.
CONNX solutions give such users secure real-time, read/write SQL access to multiple data sources whether they are legacy, relational, or both. CONNX supports Adabas, IBM VSAM, and IBM IMS on z/OS, OS/390, z/Linux, or VSE.
With CONNX, users can:
Use modern reporting tools such as Crystal Reports, MS Access, Excel or Cognos to directly access OpenVMS and other legacy data.
Build GUI or Web front-end interfaces to access legacy applications.
Join tables of multiple disparate data sources enabling the creation of several reports with a single query.
Take advantage of an integrated, centralized metadata repository.
