tcACCESS – Various Mainframe Systems

SQL access to 3270 screens and -applications

The tcACCESS SQL Engine provides an access to 3270 screens from different Open System environments or mainframe-platforms using SQL-syntax. Highlight of the tcACCESS technology is the flexibility and transparency. tcACCESS supports the join of information from 3270 screens with information from other, non-relational mainframe data-sources (i.e. IMS, DLI, DB2, VSAM, ADABAS, CA-Datacom, CA-IDMS). 

The end-user can use relational data-views that contain all data relevant to him. tcACCESS is responsible for the fast and efficient data-access.

 

You can now reference "Result oriented data" and not "Base data". Your online applications are in place; they access the base data, manipulate it, process it and display the results on your 3270 screens. That is the data you want to use in your client/server or Web-applications. tcACCESS allows accessing this data with simple SQL statements.

The tcACCESS SQL Engine acts like a virtual terminal for the target online system. All functions normally performed by a terminal user to access the screen data are now being simulated by the tcACESS SQL Engine. The required data will be located, extracted and provided to the application that has initiated the SQL request. 
The data from the 3270 screens can be joined with any other data source (i.e. IMS, DL/1, DB2, ADABAS, VSAM, etc). This will provide relational views that have not been possible before!
