Deliver Scalable Component-Based Environment That Easily Link Existing TP Monitors and Messaging Systems Insession Inc., Boulder, Colo., Tuesday announced a strategic partnership with Sybase Inc. to develop a combined solution for linking legacy systems with Sybase's Jaguar Component Transaction Server (CTS). Insession's TransFuse accessware will provide legacy and host data access, under the management of a TP monitor or messaging solution, for transactions handled through Jaguar CTS. The result is a scalable component-based environment that allows users to build transaction-oriented business applications like electronic commerce which can easily be integrated into an organization's legacy computing environment. Sybase and Insession have joined in a cooperative marketing, development and technical relationship. Insession will develop a single Jaguar Application Program Interface (API) to access files, databases and information under the management of TP monitors such as CICS (Customer Information Control System) A TP monitor from IBM that was originally developed to provide transaction processing for IBM mainframes. It controls the interaction between applications and users and lets programmers develop screen displays without , 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. , and BEA's Tuxedo, in addition to messaging solutions, such as IBM (International Business Machines Corporation, Armonk, NY, www.ibm.com) The world's largest computer company. IBM's product lines include the S/390 mainframes (zSeries), AS/400 midrange business systems (iSeries), RS/6000 workstations and servers (pSeries), Intel-based servers (xSeries) MQ Series. This represents the first time Insession has partnered with a major component transaction server provider. The combined solution provides developers with an easy way to link into existing TP monitors and messaging systems when developing component-based Web applications. In addition, Sybase will work with Insession on joint certification as part of the Sybase Partner Certification Lab. The Jaguar/TransFuse solution will be available to most major client platform -- from a Web browser The program that serves as your front end to the Web on the Internet.

"TransFuse fits in very well with Sybase's middle tier (1) Generally refers to the processing that takes place in an application server that sits between the user's machine and the database server. The middle tier server performs the business logic. See application server and client/server. strategy," said Mark Hutchens, president and chief executive officer of Insession. "TransFuse fills a critical need in providing effective management of a user's access to data and applications through a broad range of popular TP monitors in component transaction server environments. "Before today's announcement, TransFuse was primarily used by Object Request Broker See ORB. (programming) Object Request Broker - (ORB) Part of the OMG CORBA specification, an ORB's basic function is to pass method invocation requests to the correct objects and return the results to the caller. (ORB) suppliers, but we are now extending the deployment of TransFuse into a component transaction server. Our work in the application server and database server environments with Sybase clearly demonstrates the value that TransFuse provides for virtually any transaction environment from legacy systems to new Web-based electronic commerce applications and services," Hutchens added. "The combined TransFuse and Jaguar CTS solution fully leverages the power and simplicity of Web-developed applications without sacrificing scalability or transaction integrity in multiple TP environments," said Mike Merritt Michael Monroe "Mike" Merritt (born July 28, 1955) is an American bassist best known for playing with The Max Weinberg 7 on the late night television show Late Night with Conan O'Brien. , director of Internet transaction products at Sybase. The compatibility of Jaguar CTS/TransFuse solution provides a "plug-and-play" framework that makes it easier for users to build next generation multi-tier Web-based applications without the need to build a programming-intensive infrastructure or hand-code connectivity to TP monitors. With full support for legacy applications and new Web-based Internet applications, TransFuse lowers the cost of deploying and maintaining new combined application environments. TransFuse binds application and database components into a single transaction that spans different TP monitors or multiple related calls to a single TP monitor. TransFuse software enables seamless Java or C++ program calls to such host transaction processing Updating the appropriate database records as soon as a transaction (order, payment, etc.) is entered into the computer. It may also imply that confirmations are sent at the same time. Transaction processing systems are the backbone of an organization because they update constantly. monitors as IBM's CICS and IMS, and BEA's Tuxedo, which control access to more than 75 percent of corporate data. Insession products support the Object Management Group's CORBA (Common Object Request Broker Architecture) A software-based interface from the Object Management Group (OMG) that allows software modules (objects) to communicate with each other no matter where they are located on a private network or the global 2.0 standards for ORB technology and object transaction service, as well as support for multi-tiered client/server models for scalability. TransFuse enables application developers and system integrators to provide users with immediate access to data, no matter where the application or data resides. TransFuse simplifies administration and reduces costs by eliminating the need for multiple proprietary software updates on client machines. Insession has broad experience working with a range of TP monitors including large-scale IBM, Tandem and other OLTP (OnLine Transaction Processing) See transaction processing and OLCP. OLTP - On-Line Transaction Processing environments that require high degrees of scalability and reliable access.
