Although primarily residential, Palo Alto has aerospace, electronics, and advanced research industries. , Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sept. 9, 1996--Micro Focus(R) today announced the Mainframe mainframe Digital computer designed for high-speed data processing with heavy use of input/output units such as large-capacity disks and printers. They have been used for such applications as payroll computations, accounting, business transactions, information retrieval, Access Product Family, a family of products that simplifies workstation-based application development by providing direct access to mainframe data files and source code. Peter Katz Katz , Bernard 1911-2003. German-born British physiologist. He shared a 1970 Nobel Prize for the study of nerve impulse transmission. , general manager for Micro Focus' new Legacy Solutions Business Area, said, "The Mainframe Access Products tear down In communications, to free up a circuit that has been established for a particular session. When the session is completed, the circuit is "torn down" and the components and services involved are available for use by someone else. the walls between PC and host application development, providing transparent (1) Refers to a change in hardware or software that, after installation, causes no noticeable change in operation. Also known as "feature transparency." Contrast with "seamless integration," which means that an additional component to the system can be added without incurring any access to source and data residing on a mainframe. Using Mainframe Access with Micro Focus PC-based tools enables programmers This is a list of programmers notable for their contributions to software, either as original author or architect, or for later additions.

The Mainframe Access Product Family consists of the Mainframe Server and a series of optional workstation-based client services: -0-
Mainframe Server
The Mainframe Server is a high-performance VTAM application file
server that executes under MVS on IBM mainframes and provides

datasets and source control management systems.
Flexible Data Communication
Users may simultaneously use any or all of the communications
protocols supported by the Mainframe Server, including LU2,
LU6.2 (APPC) or TCP/IP protocols.
Optional Client Functions
The Mainframe Access Product Family includes a series of client
functions providing services to the workstation-based developer
which can be purchased optionally.
Record Level Input/Output
Record-by-Record File Access enables PC-based client
applications such as Micro Focus ANIMATOR, to pass
input/output (I/O) requests directly to the Mainframe
Server.
CORE Host File Access
The CORE Source Transparency Option in combination with
the Mainframe Server, provides direct access to host
source files stored in Partitioned Datasets.
Drag-and-Drop Data Access Facilities
Integration with host-based source code control systems-0- Pricing and Availability
Micro Focus Mainframe Access Server is available immediately to prequalified installations. Pricing ranges from $10,000 to $80,000 depending on the client services chosen and number of concurrent users In computer science, the number of concurrent users for a resource in a location, with the location being a computing network or a single computer, refers to the total number of people using the resource at the same time. .
