This book describes how to install Oracle Connect, Oracle Application Server Legacy Adapters, and Oracle Studio.
This section includes the following topics:
Legacy adapters integrate Oracle Application Server with legacy and mainframe applications. These adapters include OracleAS Adapter for Tuxedo, OracleAS Adapter for CICS, OracleAS Adapter for VSAM, OracleAS Adapter for IMS/TM, and OracleAS Adapter for IMS/DB.
Table 1-1 describes the legacy adapters. These adapters are deployed as J2CA resource adapters within an Oracle WebLogic container during installation.
Table 1-1 Oracle Application Server Legacy Adapters
| Adapter | Description |
|---|---|
|
OracleAS Adapter for Tuxedo |
Models services running on the BEA Tuxedo application server. Captures and maintains a metadata schema for the Tuxedo system by importing Tuxedo metadata and transforming this metadata into mapping definitions for Oracle Connect. |
|
OracleAS Adapter for CICS |
Connects Oracle Application Server with CICS. This adapter supports two-phase commit and can fully participate in a distributed transaction. |
|
OracleAS Adapter for VSAM |
Enables access to VSAM data managed by CICS or directly. This adapter implements interactions as parameterized SQL with the parameters forming the input record, and with the output (in cases where there is an output) aggregated into an XML document forming the output record. |
|
OracleAS Adapter for IMS/TM |
Provides access to MPP based IMS/TM transactions. Each OracleAS Adapter for IMS/TM outbound interaction is mapped to a specific IMS/TM transaction. |
|
OracleAS Adapter for IMS/DB |
Captures and maintains a metadata schema for IMS/DB by importing various IMS definition files such as a PSB file, DBD files, and COBOL copybooks. |
Before installing OracleAS Adapters for CICS, ensure that your computer meets the following requirements:
