Installation Requirements

Mainframe

Ivory® Data Access consists of a base system, which can be implemented as either a CICS or a VTAM application. Installation of the mainframe component requires loading the installation libraries, adaptation of table entries, allocation of VSAM files and customization of Ivory Data Access.

Workstation

Set-up of the Ivory Data Access client component requires only a few minutes. The mainframe connectivity method must be selected (TCP/IP, APPC/LU6.2, TELNET 3270, 3270 Terminal emulation). Then, based on the authority level of the user, mainframe data sources can be accessed.

Connectivity

Ivory Data Access supports a wide variety of connectivity methods between the mainframe and the workstation. TCP/IP is one choice, but not the only one. Alternatively, traditional connectivity methods like 3270 Terminal emulation, TELNET3270, APPC or LU6.2 connections are supported as well. This provides a high degree of flexibility.

Server

As an alternative to the local installation of the client component, the Ivory Data Access installation and configuration files can also be stored on a central file server.

For the development of client/server or Web applications with direct access to mainframe data , the Ivory Data Access ODBC or JDBC Server components can be used. These allow direct data access in both directions (Host <=>Server), and provide for the automation of data exchange procedures.

Other Systems

The Ivory Data Access JDBC/J2EE component allows platform-independent access or exchange with mainframe data sources via TCP/IP or TELNET 3270. This component of Ivory Data Access is a JAVA application.

Features:

  • Quick and easy installation
  • Support for all connectivity standards
  • Secure integration into existing environments
  • Flexible use of existing infrastructure and network topology
