New Release of CONNX SQL Engine, Version 10.5, Now Supports the IMS Module and
Unlocks
Enterprise Data on the z/Linux Platform
Redmond, Washington, September 25, 2006
CONNX Solutions, Inc., a leading provider of simplified data access management
and integration software solutions, announces the release of CONNX 10.5, which
is available today for demonstration and evaluation. This release features a
CONNX adapter for the IMS database and support for the CONNX client running in z/Linux environment.
The CONNX IMS adapter supports the following features:
-
Native Java™ and WebSphere® support.
-
GUI based import of PSBs (Program Specification Blocks) into CONNX metadata.
-
Multiple PSB support of joins across multiple IMS hierarchies.
-
Full transaction support that performs inserts, updates and deletes
in a complete unit of work.
“The IMS adapter for CONNX allows us to address the needs of larger
enterprise customers with a vendor independent data access solution. Existing
customers have asked for IMS connectivity”, said Pat
Malone, VP Sales and Marketing, “and the ability to easily
combine mainframe transaction information with relational or
other enterprise data sources, without enormous
reprogramming, or new database costs. This latest edition to
the CONNX suite of enterprise database adapters gives senior
management, a business analyst, or the line of business
application developer, a powerful toolkit to integrate data
from multiple sources for a comprehensive view of their
business in real time.”
This new CONNX IMS adapter will allow users to:
-
perform seamless joins between IMS and one or more of the 40 supported disparate
databases using ODBC, OLE DB, JDBC and .NET. In addition, those adapters allow CONNX
to provide secure, real-time, read/write access to IMS data.
-
view data as if it existed in a single federated relational database, in which
secure read/write real time access to enterprise data sources is provided.
-
be security conscious, because CONNX respects all existing database security and
the 128-bit encrypted CONNX Data Dictionary (CDD) guarantees the security of sensitive
information.
This release also includes:
-
a native z/Linux implementation of the powerful CONNX SQL Engine, enabling deployments
of all of the CONNX technology on the mainframe under z/Linux, including both JDBC and ODBC
support.
-
significant enhancements for users of the Adabas SQL Gateway,
including improved
use of descriptors (indexes), and multi-fetch technology, which results in greater
performance.
“We have had a high demand for our technology on the z/Linux platform, and I’m pleased that
now we can deliver that solution. Our IMS technology is unique in the industry, because the
installation and metadata collection is completely GUI based, enabling customers to get up and
running in less than 1 hour.” said Larry McGhaw, the CTO at CONNX Solutions.
