IMS 11 Open Database: Modernizing IMS Database Access
Available in replay for your convenience, register now.
Developed for: Application architects and application developers
Technical Level: Basic - Intermediate
Despite many monumental improvements in recent years, IT still faces significant bottlenecks that prevent it from fully supporting business growth. Connectivity has been an issue for high volume, transaction-based enterprises. That’s because even though IMS™ databases have been historically grounded to mainframe data, the paths to accessing that data have not been straightforward and simple. And if connectivity is not an issue, access to skilled resources often impacts the development of new applications. Until recently, there was also a “standards” bottleneck because IMS has not been a standards-based data server. All of this changes with IMS 11 Open Database.
Join us for a complimentary teleconference to learn about one of the most significant and anticipated deliverables in the upcoming release of IMS 11— IMS Open Database. This function offers a robust standards-based approach for accessing IMS databases from a growing number of strategic runtimes and platforms, which include z/OS®, Linux® on System z®, and Microsoft Windows®. Java™ is the primary development language targeted for this support. In this session, we’ll identify exciting new integration opportunities, and we’ll share the experiences of early exploiters of this brand new technology. See how IMS 11 meets the challenge of modernizing IMS database access and application development by offering scalable, distributed and high-speed local access to IMS database resources.
In this teleconference, you’ll learn how IMS 11:
- Improves opportunities for market positioning and competitive differentiation
- Enables new application design frameworks and patterns, including JCA 1.5 (Java EE) and JDBC™
- Uses a standards-based approach with Java Connector architecture, JDBC, SQL and DRDA
- Enhances commands and user exits that simplify installation and system management
Speaker: Kyle Charlet, IMS SOA Technical Lead Developer
