CrossAccess Corporation Announces J2EE Connector Architecture Support for Rapid, Data-Driven Enterprise Application Integration.Business Editors/High-Tech Writers BEA BEA - Basic programming Environment for interactive-graphical Applications, from Siemens-Nixdorf. eWorld 2003 Conference ORLANDO, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Feb. 28, 2003 CrossAccess Corporation, the mainframe data integration experts, today announced J2EE Connector Architecture (JCA (1) (Java Cryptography Architecture) An umbrella term from Sun for implementing security functions for the Java platform. It includes Sun's Java Security API as well as the Java Cryptography Extension (JCE), which adds more programming interfaces for encryption ) support for its eXadas Synchronization Manager(TM) (XSync) product. XSync is specifically designed to rapidly deliver integration between applications related by the data they manage, not the processing that they perform. It enables real-time bi-directional synchronization of non-relational and relational data sources with enterprise-wide data and applications. XSync monitors database activity in real time, capturing predefined changes. The captured data is reformatted and delivered through the JCA Connector to an integration engine like BEA WebLogic Integration(TM). WebLogic Integration then updates a corresponding database, invokes an application adapter or performs virtually any task required. And, unlike database specific triggers and tools, XSync is designed for high performance environments. XSync never impacts application or database performance while also being 100% recoverable. "CrossAccess provides a unique, proactive integration tool that uses changes to data as integration catalysts," said Scott Edgington, vice president and general manager, global software partners, BEA Systems. "BEA WebLogic Integration is well-suited to driving the broad spectrum of integration processes associated with this data catalyst." "The data-driven methodology of this BEA-CrossAccess combination delivers robust enterprise application integration in a fraction of the time and at a fraction of the cost of traditional EAI (Enterprise Application Integration) Refers to various techniques used to share data and business processes in large enterprises. When companies acquire another organization, disparate information systems have to be made to work together. solutions," said George Langan, president, CrossAccess Corporation. Some typical uses include: -- Integrating mainframe operational data with a purchased CRM or ERP -- Synchronizing inventory across a series of supply chain applications -- Bi-directional synchronization of security data across platforms XSync Change Capture Agents are available for the following data sources: Adabas, Datacom, DB2, IDMS See CA-IDMS and IDMSX. 1. (language, database) IDMS - A pictorial query language, an extension of Sequel2. ["A Management System for an Integrated Database of Pictures and Alphanumeric Data", G.Y. Tang, Computer Graphics Image Processing 16:270-286 (1981)]. , IMS (1) See IP Multimedia Subsystem. (2) (Information Management System) An early IBM hierarchical DBMS for IBM mainframes. IMS was widely implemented throughout the 1970s under MVS and continues to be used under z/OS. , Oracle, SQL-Server, UDB See DB2 UDB. udb - Universal Debugger and VSAM (Virtual Storage Access Method) An IBM access method for storing data, widely used in IBM mainframes. It uses the B+tree method for organizing data. VSAM - Virtual Storage Access Method . The XSync JCA Connector requires support for the J2EE Connector Architecture 1.5 specification. It is available on any JVM-enabled platform. About CrossAccess Corporation CrossAccess Corporation is the leading provider of legacy data integration for enterprise-wide e-business initiatives. The CrossAccess eXadas Suite includes: (1) eXadas Transaction Connect (XTC XTC See Ecstasy, MDMA. ) for IMS and CICS (Customer Information Control System) A TP monitor from IBM that was originally developed to provide transaction processing for IBM mainframes.
