Open ServerConnect is a programming environment that lets you create mainframe transactions that Sybase client applications can access. To provide this access, Open ServerConnect uses the following basic interfaces:
Traditional Open Server programming environment (for new customers and Sybase-heritage customers using new applications)
remote stored procedure (RSP) programming environment (only for MDI-heritage customers)
These mainframe transactions provide access to virtually any z/OS data source and are used for a variety of functions, including:
Accessing existing mainframe applications
Initiating mainframe batch jobs
Providing source data for data transfer operations
Providing data mapped to a table within the CIS functionality in ASE/CIS (formerly OmniConnect), thus allowing results to be accessed or joined with data from other targets
LAN-side client applications access Open ServerConnect transactions directly through DirectConnect or indirectly through ASE/CIS, or through a Sybase Adaptive Server RPC.
