The Server Option is an application programming environment (API) that allows you to create mainframe applications that Sybase client applications can use. Server Option applications can retrieve and update data stored in mainframe resources such as:
DB2 UDB and other relational database management systems (RDBMSs)
DL/1 databases
Temporary Storage (TS) queues
Transient Data (TD) queues
VSAM files
The Server Option is available for CICS, and for IMS TM and MVS.
For information on how the Server Option functions in
the CICS environment, see the Mainframe Connect Server Option for
CICS Installation and Administration Guide.
