CONNX for IMS

The CONNX for IMS module provides secure, real-time, read/write SQL access to IMS data sources on z/OS and OS/390. In conjunction with other CONNX modules, you can perform seamless joins between IMS and most other databases.

With CONNX for IMS, a single metadata model can be created that spans all enterprise data sources and applications requiring data access. The result is an enterprise-wide view of data that provides a reusable, standards-based framework for information access.

The CONNX for IMS distributable SQL engine reduces the workload placed on the mainframe by performing CPU-intensive operations where the CONNX client resides (Unix, Linux or Windows. i.e., remote desktop, Web and/or application server). The database calls are low level and minimize impact on the database processor. CONNX for IMS imports the metadata directly from PSBs and DBDs.

Feature

Benefit

Java™ and WebSphereŽ support is native Web integration or enablement projects can quickly have direct access to IMS data.
PSB and DBD Automatic Import to CONNX Data Dictionary (CDD) Lists automatically populate, only requiring the user to select the necessary PSB and DBDs. Metadata is automatically imported. Importing databases takes typically 15 minutes or less.
Multiple PSB support Supports joins across multiple IMS hierarchies
RACF/Top Secret security mechanisms (CDD) Existing mainframe security and access control methods are complimented and extended, protecting vital corporate information. Multi-level security can be created to the record level.
Full Transaction Support Perform inserts, updates and deletes in a complete unit of work
Single sign-on reduces complexity Provide transparent user access to multiple data sources
ODBC, OLE DB, JDBC. .NET or Java Support Popular applications have access to IMS data for real time queries
Heterogeneous Joins Allows the user to create views that span several IMS segments
ANSI SQL Support Compatible and consistent queries to all databases
Distributed SQL Processing Low impact host mainframe resources without sacrificing security.
