Preface

This manual describes the installation and configuration of Oracle Connect for IMS, VSAM, and Adabas Gateways, a prebuilt driver to mainframe data. Oracle Connect for IMS, VSAM, and Adabas Gateways is located natively on the data server to provide standard, service-oriented integration to data sources on z/OS platforms. With robust support for metadata, bi-directional read/write access, and transaction management, Oracle Connect for IMS, VSAM, and Adabas Gateways simplifies and reduces the cost of legacy integration.

• Installing Oracle Connect for IMS, VSAM, and Adabas Gateways
