CONNX DB Adapters for C-ISAM® and D-ISAM®

The CONNX for C-ISAM® and D-ISAM® modules provide secure, real-time, read/write access to C-ISAM and D-ISAM data sources on Windows®, Solaris®, HP-UX®, AIX®, Linux® and other UNIX® flavors. In conjunction with other CONNX modules, you can perform seamless joins between C-ISAM, D-ISAM, and most other databases.

 

Join C-ISAM and D-ISAM with multiple data sources

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 C-ISAM and D-ISAM 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 framework for information access. To the user or application, data appears as if it existed in a single federated relational database.

Key benefits

  • Views
    CONNX supports the creation of views, which facilitate hiding table relationships from the end user. CONNX Views facilitate the creation of heterogeneous joins between multiple disparate databases.
  • Data conversions
    CONNX supports more than 600 data types and performs bi-directional data conversions for data updates and retrieves.
  • Metadata import
    CONNX for C-ISAM and D-ISAM imports C-ISAM and D-ISAM metadata directly from COBOL copybooks, Powerhouse PDLs, and a CONNX Text Specification file format into a CONNX Data Dictionary file (CDD)
  • Occur clauses
    The CONNX unique Rotated Array Technology makes manipulation of large arrays simple. CONNX accomplishes this by returning each column of the array as a separate row.
  • Compliance
    Count on ODBC Full Compliance (level 2), JDBC Type 3 Driver, OLE DB 2.5 Driver, .NET 2.0 Driver and above.
  • Table redefinition
    The CDD supports multiple record layouts of the same C-ISAM and D-ISAM files based on a “record type” field.
  • Security preserved and extended
    The CDD 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 CDD is encrypted to secure sensitive information.
