The DirectConnect for z/OS Option is Open Server™-based software that supports DB-Library™, CT-Library™, ODBC, and JDBC application programming interfaces (APIs).
As a LAN-based gateway server, the DirectConnect for z/OS Option provides access to non-Sybase data and applications and constitutes a primary structure on which to build scalable database middleware applications.
The DirectConnect for z/OS Option provides the following middleware services for decision support and online transaction processing (OLTP) applications:
access services, which provide access to non-Sybase data sources. The DirectConnect for z/OS Option access service is the recommended component to use for SQL access to DB2 UDB for z/OS data.
Transaction Router Service (TRS), which provides access from LAN-based client applications to mainframe data and applications. Client applications use TRS to execute mainframe remote procedure calls (RPCs) using Server Option applications.
Mainframe Client Connect (MCC) is no longer being provided
or supported. Sybase recommends that you migrate any Client Option applications
from a three-tier (gateway-enabled) environment using SNA to a two-tier
environment using TCP.
The DirectConnect for z/OS Option is available in the Mainframe Connect IPS. Other DirectConnect products are available in the Enterprise Connect Data Access product suite.
