DataDirect Shadow Mainframe Database and ODBC Driver
The Shadow z/Direct ODBC client driver extends the reach of ODBC-based applications such as C, C++ by providing direct SQL access to multiple mainframe database systems including Adabas, DB2, IMS/DB, VSAM and legacy application environments such as CICS, IMS/TM and Natural.
The Shadow z/Direct ODBC client driver provides:
- Application developers are able to view the mainframe as a large virtual RDBMS
- Architects to transform mainframe assets into industry standard reusable components
- Extended reach for applications built with .NET to access mainframe data in Adabas, CICS, DB2, IMS, Natural, VSAM and other sources
- XA Two phase commit (2PC)
- SQL SELECT, DELETE, INSERT and UPDATE support for mainframe database systems
- SQL CALL statement support for mainframe programs
- Built-in, full SQL datatype conversion
- Code-free reuse of mainframe programs
- Rapid installation
- Full compatibility with Visual Studio
- Exploitation of ODBC 2.0 core and some ODBC 3.0 options
- Extensive support for ODBC application idiosyncrasies
- Support for Static SQL access to DB2
- Integration with Windows Operating System security for single sign-on
Most mission-critical and many business-critical applications today demand high availability. Enterprise infrastructure for host integration supporting Web connectivity has grown increasingly complex. To reduce complexity, Shadow operates without requiring an intermediate gateway, eliminating complexity without reducing functionality.
Comprehensive Administration via Shadow Studio
Shadow's Studio provides outstanding diagnostic and control facilities and offer users a single, integrated solution to identify, diagnose and correct data connectivity issues between distributed ODBC, JDBC and JCA client drivers and mainframes. For automatic problem resolution, Shadow allows administrators to establish actions that will be implemented when preset performance thresholds are exceeded; ensuring problem conditions that can affect availability are immediately corrected.
