HostBridge converts CICS/mainframe data to XML to enable rapid integration with XML- and services-based architectures. Running on the mainframe under CICS, HostBridge exploits CICS Transaction Server tools and technologies to ensure the high-performance, high-fidelity integration. HostBridge Base is a prerequisite for other HostBridge products, modules, and connectors.
In addition WIRE, HostBridge’s Microsoft.NET framework for rapid development and deployment of web interfaces for CICS, provides classic, standard, and enhanced presentation modes to meet the needs of all types of users.
The HostBridge JavaScript (HBJS) Automation Engine enables rapid development and deployment of flexible, reusable web services from mainframe applications and data. A unique and powerful HBJS capability allows developers to orchestrate, automate, and integrate CICS transaction micro flows as a single web service.
Hostbridge Data Access Modules support integration of the most widely used mainframe data resources:
• VSAM Module
• DB2 Module
• DL/1 Module
• MQ Module
HostBridge is the perfect companion to enable CICS applications as web services. By supporting SOAP, XML, and HTTP, HostBridge makes it possible for applications to transparently invoke CICS transactions within a web services architecture and receive the resulting data as well-formed XML documents. For organizations that want to retain the value of their CICS applications, HostBridge and web services offer an ideal solution.
