Data access is supported for data in emulated VSAM files, IMS databases, and relational database systems.
VSAM file emulation is supported for ESDS and RRDS files and KSDS data sets, which can also be shared with non-CICS (batch) applications. Fileshare provides data integrity for VSAM emulation for application data files, temporary storage and transient data queues. Alternate indexes are supported for application data files. Emulated VSAM files use standard Micro Focus file formats.
Support is provided to the XA-compliant SQL databases from Oracle and IBM DB2/UDB.
