Developed for: Application developers
Technical level: Basic - intermediate
When business requirements are growing, the first place to look for answers is usually in-house: What assets do you already have that can help? The existing business logic written in COBOL and IMS™ Java™ can help your business build application solutions to support growing business requirements. By leveraging COBOL and incorporating new functionality using Java, you can reduce development costs, and reduce the time it takes to deliver new functions. It also gives you a unique opportunity to develop multi-programming language skills.
Join us for this complimentary teleconference and learn how you can combine your COBOL business logic with IMS solutions for Java and gain a more flexible programming environment. Enterprise COBOL for z/OS® enables the integration of existing COBOL applications with IMS Java, while IMS Java provides a complete Java development solution for both IMS transactions and IMS databases. In this session, we’ll cover the basics of COBOL and Java interoperability when being used under IMS, including database access to IMS and DB2®, calling Java from COBOL, and calling existing Language Environment (LE) modules from Java using the Java Native Interface. Possible runtime environments are the IMS Java Regions persistent Java Virtual Machine (JVM™) and existing Message Processing Regions for LE languages.
In this teleconference, you will learn how COBOL and IMS Java development solutions:
- Simplify the development and maintenance of IMS applications by leveraging new Java services as subroutines accessed by existing COBOL business logic
- Use industry standard application APIs, such as JDBC™, JEE™ and XML, to reduce the programming effort required for building solutions
- Integrate with other products that support the Java API, for example, the Java Message Service support provided by WebSphere® MQ
