TIBCO Object Service Broker provides you with interfaces to import and export files, Adabas data, CA Datacom data, and VSAM data sets, allowing you to access data in these file types from within your applications. These interfaces ensure data is presented to and received from TIBCO Object Service Broker rules in a manner consistent with TIBCO Object Service Broker behavior. Some of these access are provided with your base TIBCO Object Service Broker installation and others require Service Gateway for Files.
Service Gateway for Files is available to enable you to easily access files and VSAM data sets that are remote to your system, without requiring an additional TIBCO Object Service Broker installation on the remote system. This enables, for example, an ODBC request through a TIBCO Object Service Broker on Open Systems to directly access flat files and VSAM files on a z/OS system.
Optionally, you can also use distributed data to access import, export and most VSAM data set types across systems. This requires the installation of an additional TIBCO Object Service Broker system. Refer to the
Managing Data and
Application Administration manuals for more information about distributed data.
To access Adabas and VSAM LDS data you require the Service Gateway for Files SDK which is included with the Service Gateway for Files. For information about the SDK refer to the
TIBCO Service Gateway for Files
SDK User’s Guide.
