The CONNX Adabas Module provides secure, real-time, read/write, SQL access to Adabas data sources on OS/390, z/OS, VSE, z/Linux, Linux, Solaris, HP-UX, AIX and Windows Operating Systems via .NET, ODBC, OLE DB, and JDBC with connectivity through TCP/IP.
In conjunction with other products in the CONNX suite, you can perform seamless joins between two or more supported disparate databases using ODBC, OLE DB, .NET and JDBC. CONNX for Adabas access is fast and efficient. With CONNX, a single metadata model can be created that spans all enterprise data sources and applications requiring data access. The result is an enterprise-wide view of data that provides a reusable standards-based frame- work for information access. To the user or application, data appears as if it existed in a single federated relational database.
CONNX supports ANSI SQL (Insert, Up- date, Select, and Delete); group by, dis- tinct, aggregate (AVG, MIN, MAX, SUM, and COUNT), and all substring, string, date, conversion, and math functions. Nested inner and outer left/right joins are supported, as well as subqueries and correlated subqueries. CONNX also supports Unions and Insert/Select.
CONNX supports the creation of views, which facilitate hiding table relationships from the end user. CONNX Views facili- tate the creation of heterogeneous joins between multiple disparate databases.
CONNX supports over 600 data types and performs bi-directional data conversions for data updates and retrieves.
CONNX for Adabas imports Predict data dictionaries/ Natural DDMs through a SYSTRANS extract into the CONNX Data Dictionary, providing access to Adabas long field names and enabling the creation of reports using any of a number of standard reporting tools. CONNX for Adabas also imports Adabas metadata directly from Dynamic DDL and FDT into a CONNX Data Dictionary file (CDD). CONNX creates virtual tables to represent MU (multi-value) and PEs (periodic groups), placing a relational model on the Adabas data. CONNX allows the use of special version create table SQL grammar to describe the table layout.
As with all databases supported by CONNX, CONNX for Adabas has been tested with Microsoft Excel, Microsoft Visu- al Studio, including Visual Basic/C++, etc., Delphi, PowerBuilder, Impromptu, Report- NET, Lotus Approach, Crystal Reports and vendors such as Cognos and Business Objects. CONNX for Adabas also supports ADO and ASP.NET, and JDBC is used with Websphere and Apache Tomcat.
ODBC Full Compliance (level 2) ; JDBC Type 3 Driver; OLE DB 2.5 Driver; NET 2.0 Driver and above
The CONNX Data Dictionary provides additional field and table-level encryptable security by group or user, ensuring the security of sensitive information. CONNX also supports row level security with CONNX Views. Additionally, the CONNX Data Dictionary is encrypted to secure sensitive information.
Multiple record layouts as produced by Natural; Adabas data stored in different code language pages; and ENTIRENET- WORK support for Adabas.
