About the VSAM Adapter

The VSAM Adapter enables Sun Java CAPS ESB to exchange data with external IBM VSAM mainframe file systems. This Adapter is similar to other database Adapters, such as IAM, ADABAS, and IDMS. The Adapter uses its own properties settings and Sun Java CAPS ESB components to enable VSAM data integration.

Adapter Operation

This Adapter enables Sun Java CAPS ESB to communicate with VSAM files on a mainframe host system via TCP/IP. The Adapter utilizes an IBM WebSphere Information Integrator Classic Federatione component that allows you to view and access VSAM in the same way as any standard relational database system.
