DirectConnect is Open Server-based software that supports Client-Library (CT-Library), and Open Database Connectivity (ODBC) application programming interfaces (APIs).
DirectConnect serves as a fundamental building block for highly-scalable database middleware applications. DirectConnect products are local area network (LAN)-based middleware gateways and servers that provide access to non-Sybase data and applications.
In addition, DirectConnect can be used with other Sybase products, such as Adaptive Server® Enterprise Component Integration Services (ASE/CIS), Sybase Adaptive Server, and Replication Server®.
DirectConnect for z/OS consists of:
A server, which provides the framework in which service libraries can operate
One or more service libraries (DB2 and TRS), which provide the framework in which access services can operate
One or more access services for each service library (DB2 and TRS), which are the logical points of connection for DirectConnect clients.
The following subsections describe each of these components.
