2. Copyright 2007, Information Builders. Slide 2 Presentation Information  Author: Nick Cosenza  Company: iWay Software  Presentation Title: Got Mainframe? What’s New for the Mainframe?  Presentation Abstract: Join us for this presentation and see what iWay Software has been up to on the mainframe! Learn what’s new with iWay’s Data server and CICS and IMS transaction system access and other important new capabilities. iWay Software, in its endeavor to be the world's largest integration software provider, has developed new and improved mainframe technologies. This session, which will include a live demonstration, may prove to be the one-stop shop for customers interested in unlocking information held within their mainframe transactional-based systems. The discussion will delve into the adapter offerings within the iWay Universal Adapter framework and the adapters offered within the iWay Server 7.x product line.

5. Copyright 2007, Information Builders. Slide 5 Got Mainframe? Adabas/DB  Connection Pooling support  Last opened databases will be closed when agent is disconnected or closed  MU/PE derived sub/super descriptors  Support for field’s SQL options

6. Copyright 2007, Information Builders. Slide 6 Got Mainframe? Adabas/DB  Postponed Database closing  Databases participating in the request remain opened until it changes one of the following  Database  File  Database open mode  Access mode (read/write)

7. Copyright 2007, Information Builders. Slide 7 Got Mainframe? Adabas/Natural Two ways to access natural programs  Invoke natural from CICS  Uses CICS Adapter to call natural  CICS configurations required  Transactional in nature  Natural batch adapter  Runs natural batch programs  No changes to the natural program

8. Copyright 2007, Information Builders. Slide 8 Got Mainframe? DB2 DB2  DB2 UNICODE Support  Multiple Language Support  BLOB data type for Update/Insert  DB2 Nickname support

9. Copyright 2007, Information Builders. Slide 9 Got Mainframe? IMS/DB IMS/DB  Automatic IMS region reconnect feature  New parameter IMSRECOM in the IMS special service definition block  Time interval in min between attempts to re- connect to IMS region via DBCTL  Inserting data into non-keyed segment  Handle data insert into the non- keyed segments  Create synonym for logical DB

10. Copyright 2007, Information Builders. Slide 10 Got Mainframe? IMS/TM Via the iWay Data Server Usability  Table file IMS  Select from IMS transaction  WebFOCUS

11. Copyright 2007, Information Builders. Slide 11 Got Mainframe? CICS Via the iWay Data Server Usability  Table file CICS  Select from CICS program  WebFOCUS  Compatibility with older CICS solutions

12. Copyright 2007, Information Builders. Slide 12 Got Mainframe? VSAM RRDS support in VSAM Adapter  Stage 1: Supported  Stage 2: Adapter can utilize user provided hash routine to generate RRN value for READ/WRITE operations  VSAM files under CICS control  Read/write support  Dirty reads avoided

13. Copyright 2007, Information Builders. Slide 13 Got Mainframe? Datacom/DB Access File Attributes  TRACE={ YES | NO | CBS } (file level) (YES is obsolete, supported for compatibility)  SEQACCESS={ YES | NO } (file level)  FOUNDLIMIT=nnnnnn (segment and file level)  REJECTLIMIT=nnnnnn (segment and file level)  KEYNAME=eeeee (segment level)  FIELD=, SIGN=, TYPE=C

14. Copyright 2007, Information Builders. Slide 14 Got Mainframe? Datacom/DB New adapter enhancements  Adapter is reentrant  Only elements that contain active fields are requested from Datacom  Any field defined in the master file may be used for joining  Read in physical sequence by commands GSETP/GETPS is used if parameter KEYNAME has no value for the Root segment and sequential access is chosen  Connection or URT  Create synonym from Web console

15. Copyright 2007, Information Builders. Slide 15 Got Mainframe? IDMS/SQL New adapter enhancements  Foreign key support  Multi-segment master files  Create synonym from Web console
