Mainframe Connect

Mainframe Connect

The Mainframe Connect option supplies the connectivity tools that allow you to fully integrate your mainframe and LAN-based data sources.

The Mainframe Connect option stands on its own or complements other Enterprise Data Studio options.

With the Mainframe Connect option, you can:

• Enable client applications to access data stored on CICS, IMS, and MVS systems as if it were Sybase data
• Create custom mainframe applications that provide access to data stored on LAN-based servers
• Create Open Server gateways to other mainframe DBMSs, file systems, and applications
• Create custom applications that access mainframe data sources

Table 1-5 lists the components that you can install from the Mainframe Connect option. See Appendix A for a description of each component
