Ivory Service Architect provides web service integration for IMS at the presentation layer and at the application transaction layer. Presentation layer integration is possible using the MFS source as input (MID/MOD) to create direct web service enablement for screen-based applications.
IMS transactions, including conversational transactions, can be exposed as services without changing the underlying transaction code. Support for both COBOL and PL/1 copybooks makes the service development easy and straightforward.
IMS screens can be combined with transactions in the project builder to quickly create SOAP, RESTful and JSON services with minimal training and no coding.
IMS transactions can easily make outbound web services calls from existing transactions, making Ivory Service Architect a complete web services solution.
Ivory Data Access provides SQL data access to IMS (DL/1) databases via industry standard ODBC or JDBC. Ivory Data Access supports the joining of data from IMS with data from other, non-relational mainframe data sources (such as IMS, DL/1, VSAM, Adabas, PDS/PS, etc.), or from DB2, presenting the end user with relevant data in familiar relational data views.
