ADPAC Develops Link to Computer Associates' Endevor Software Product.SAN FRANCISCO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Aug. 4, 1999-- ADPAC ADPAC American Dental Political Action Committee ADPAC Automated Data Processing Application Coordinator Corporation, a leading supplier of legacy system software, today announced it has developed a direct interface to Endevor for MVS (Multiple Virtual Storage) Introduced in 1974, the primary operating system used with IBM mainframes (the others are VM and DOS/VSE). MVS is a batch processing-oriented operating system that manages large amounts of memory and disk space. , a popular mainframe software product from Computer Associates International, Inc. (CA). The new interface allows users to read the source libraries directly from Endevor for MVS. Using the interface increases the value of ADPAC's SystemVision family of software by reducing the steps required to work with Endevor for MVS libraries. Before the interface was developed, customers had to take the interim step of exporting Endevor for MVS libraries into a PDS (1) (Processor Direct Slot) A single expansion slot on certain, early Macintosh models that was used to connect high-speed peripherals as well as additional CPUs. Providing a channel directly to the CPU, the PDS coexisted with NuBus slots on some models. to enable ADPAC products to parse them. The new interface allows seamless integration An addition of a new application, routine or device that works smoothly with the existing system. It implies that the new feature or program can be installed and used without problems. Contrast with "transparent," which implies that there is no discernible change after installation. with Endevor for MVS, saving countless hours of processing time. Many Fortune 1,000 companies use both Endevor for MVS and ADPAC products. Endevor for MVS is the market-leader in change management software. ADPAC products already interface directly with Computer Associates' CA-IDMS, CA-Panvalet and CA-Librarian products. "Adding the Endevor for MVS interface to our product is another step towards automating tedious maintenance programming tasks. Our customers are always seeking more productivity and we strive to provide it," said Ed Severs, President of ADPAC Corporation.
