Integration with iSeries - AS400 Mainframe
Host Integration is very demanding these days as the demand to bring in new channels to the businesses is increasing. The usual and very common way of doing this type of integration which involves AS400 Mainframes as Host and Microsoft Windows based Channels is based on MQ Series. Organizations that have some visionary approach and want to have maximum return out of the investments on such projects also opts for Host Integration Server based on BizTalk.
In the last couple of months I investigate another way of talking to host through IBM iSeries Access Toolkit and found it very useful.
- When compared licensing and budgets with other options of integration, iSeries Access Toolkit just outclass them being free for this purpose.
- The other benefit when you compare this option to MQ Series is rapid development as it needs abosulte no new development on Host Side.
- This is one of the toolkit that is still hidden from the eyes of Windows Technology Architects because frankly speaking they dont expect it from IBM.
iSerier Access for Windows comes with several programming language interfaces to access iSeries different resorces. Here you have to pick depending on your requirement. The most powerful one is ofcource C/C++ APIs.
The possible programming languages and environments that you can use are as follows:
.NET Framework
iSeries Access comes with a set of .NET Framework classes which provide a complete set of interfaces for accessing iSeries database resources. These classes implement the .NET Data Provider interfaces.
ActiveX
iSeries Access provides a number of ActiveX automation objects and ActiveX custom controls for accessing the most commonly used iSeries resources. For languages which support ActiveX automation (other than C/C++), these are often the best interfaces to use.
C/C++ APIs
iSeries Access provides a number of procedural C interfaces for accessing the server. This set of interfaces provides the most complete set of interfaces for accessing iSeries resources. These interfaces are provided primarily for C/C++ applications. However, for languages other than Java and languages which support ActiveX automation, the C/C++ APIs are often the only interfaces which can be used to access the server.
Java
iSeries Access for Windows ships the IBM Toolbox for Java, which provides Java classes for accessing iSeries resources. Applications written using the Toolbox for Java do not require iSeries Access to run keeping your application platform independent.
I will discuss more in my next articles on the option of C/C++ APIs for accessing iSeries Resources using Remote Commands.

Adobe Points AIR Gun at Microsoft
Both companies are aligning their troops along battle lines that likely will erupt a into fierce engagement over the next few weeks and months ahead. Adobe announced its new products, specifically for RIAs—or rich Internet applications—during its Engage event in San Francisco.
Microsoft's return warning shot comes on Wednesday when, in Los Angeles, Visual Studio 2008 launches, along with new versions of the SQL Server and Windows Server. But Microsoft let off an earlier warning volley against Adobe, even as the skirmish lines formed: Last week's DreamSpark program providing free development tools to students. Next week, Microsoft will fire yet again at Adobe from its MIX08 conference in Las Vegas.
The Adobe-Microsoft battle over RIAs will be fierce, because the two companies are fighting for dominance on the same ground: the desktop PC. RIAs are as much about the desktop—perhapsmore—than they are about the Web.
Adobe's development goals are similar to Microsoft's:
- Pull computing and informational relevance back to desktop software from the Web
- Provide developers with robust tools for desktop and Web applications/services
- Woo developers to a single development platform for creating and distributing RIAs
.Net versus the Net
While Adobe and Microsoft share similar goals, their development approaches and philosophies differ. For starters, Adobe isn't a .Net shop. AIR strongly favors existing and popular Web and Web-to-desktop development technologies, such as AJAX, Flash, Flex and HTML. Microsoft leverages .Net Framework, Silverlight, Windows Media Video, Windows Presentation Foundation and XAML. While Microsoft's development toolset also supports AJAX, HTML and even Flash, the greater emphasis is the company's own technologies.
If RIA development tool providers were global superpowers, the two companies would be like the Soviet Union and United States of the Cold War era. But there is no mutually assured destruction. Adobe and Microsoft are both playing to win. Adobe is more established, because of Flex and Flash, but Microsoft can leverage two desktop monopolies, Office and Windows, that are tightly tied to Expression Studio, .Net Framework and Visual Studio.
Microsoft's core development approach is simple: .Net. The .Net Framework is the central, unifying technology binding together Microsoft's desktop, server and Web development strategies. Developers choosing .Net Framework tacitly also choose Windows.
Adobe offers alternatives for developers that, at the least, don't want to use .Net Framework or to be locked into a Microsoft technology. Adobe continues to strongly support Java and Java EE, unlike Microsoft.
A fundamental, philosophical difference puts Adobe more in the Web 2.0 platform camp than Microsoft might ever be. Both Adobe and Microsoft share a similar problem of desktop applications/services and development shifting from PC software to the Web platform. But Adobe's approach is much more Web-centric, with its RIA's positioned as more a way of extending the desktop experience and providing offline content access. Microsoft talks similar messaging but walks a different way. Microsoft is more weighted down by legacy desktop software (e.g., Office and Windows) that prevents its real rising into the Web 2.0 cloud.
Something else: Adobe's RIA approach is more about Web mashups than is Microsoft's. Sure, Microsoft has Popfly, which is a fun mashup service. But it's no RIA development or RIA mashup tool. Microsoft's kind of headed in the same direction as Adobe, but with much greater emphasis on pulling computational and informational relevance back to the desktop.
Fresh Air
Adobe and Microsoft both have amassed large arsenals of tools and are aligning allies for the skirmish ahead. AIR's dot-oh release is flanked by some surprising showcase applications and customers, with the aforementioned emphasis on content mashups.
This morning I downloaded and tested eBay Desktop and SHIFD, which was developed by New York Times research. I also played around with Adobe's Buzzword online word processor, which is surprisingly robust and supports all major document formats, including Microsoft's OOXML (Open Office XML).
Adobe's supporting AIR applications and developer customers are much better than Microsoft's collection for Silverlight's launch. Most importantly: Real software and services are available that anyone can use, today! Some, like the eBay Desktop, will have broad appeal because of the service's long reach. Showcase applications like this one will organically pull AIR downloads and raise consumer and enterprise awareness about the technology.
Buzzword won't win any praise from Microsoft, for the service treads on those sensitive Office toes. But it's a slick showcase of an AIR application and service within a Web browser. The nomenclature is excellent, by the way.
The AIR currents shift from today to next week and what Microsoft will unveil at MIX08. Silverlight 2.0 will be a big topic, as will be .Net Framework 3.5 and Visual Studio 2008, among other Microsoft tools.
Microsoft needs to strut its stuff, at least as well as Adobe is at this week's Engage. MIX is the right venue, but will Microsoft deliver? Adobe's Engage is going to be a tough act to follow.
From MIX08, the major battle ahead will be between entrenched Flash and newcomer Silverlight. Flex and AIR, along with products like Adobe Media Player, support Flash. But the war will be won on different turf: Broader developer toolsets and supporting server software. Expression Studio and Visual Studio 2008 are two products enjoined. Of course, they will be used separately, but Microsoft has created integration points for designers and developers that make Expression and Visual Studio much better together.
Which Superpower will win the war? There's no easy answer. If Microsoft buys Yahoo, Adobe will get lots of maneuvering room. The merger integration is going to disrupt nearly every Microsoft line of business
.NET Framework 4 Poster
We created a very cool poster that shows off the new stuff in .NET Framework 3.5 SP1 and .NET Framework 4. Thanks to Kit George for running this effort to get a very cool view of .NET Framework 4 and for the great folks at Addison Wesley for helping with the creative end and the printing costs!
And of course, here is the DeepZoom version! (use your mouse wheel or click and control-click to zoom in and out)
Download the .NET Framework 4 Poster PDF for high quality printing.
Enjoy! We'd love to hear what you think!
If you are at PDC08 please drop by the Addison Wesley booth in the Big Room and get your copy... You can just tell them I sent you ;-)
Oh, and if you are a Microsoft employee in Redmond, drop KitG an email, he has a few he can give out.

Why .net?
.Net Development and Programming Benefits and Advantages
| ||||||||||
.Net is the next-generation computing platform from Microsoft. At the core of the .Net hype is a new layer of software that sits above the Windows operating system. This new .Net platform is a better platform for building and running applications software than the Windows OS that we know today. Benefits Of .Net: Managed code is more robust The .Net platform not only runs this new type of code but oversees its execution allowing software errors to be caught and halted before serious problems can occur. "Memory leaks", "memory corruption", and "blue screen of death" problems that freeze our old Windows systems in their tracks are prevented by .Net or curtailed before damage is done. Side-by-side versions .Net software minds its own business. It stays together in one place rather than smearing itself all around our systems. And in doing so, it sidesteps the old Component Object Model (COM) -based mechanisms that allowed software packages to collide with and harm one another. In fact, .Net allows two versions of a managed code application to run side by side on the same computer without any interaction or conflict. .Net thus eliminates the need to remove an old version of a software product just to install and try out a new version. Better security .Net security model is a promising new weapon in halting rogue software and security breaches. You've heard the old adage that you're either part of the solution or part of the problem. Managed code is part of the solution. Better connectivity The new .Net software development tools and the standards based nature of managed code make it easier to develop systems that employ state-of the-art connectivity techniques such as XML Web Services. Our future will clearly be filled with a kaleidoscope of constantly collaborating systems, large and small, networked together, exchanging information and performing services for each other and for mankind. Building this high level of connectivity and requisite robustness demands new components, tools, and a standards-oriented approach. Getting there with old components and tools and without standards is an impossible challenge. .Net comes with a blueprint and toolset for the next generation of software for the new "connected world". Faster software, faster development, easier deployment .Net is a completely new software technology, created from scratch, both to leverage groundbreaking technologies such as XML. Managed code is lean, speedy, and lightweight. These traits enable new innovation in application development and deployment. And, .Net includes a huge box of prefabricated industrial-strength components ready to use by software developers, allowing developers to save time while creating more robust and powerful applications. Lower cost of ownership Each of the managed code advantages listed above promise to contribute to lower IT costs due to easier software development, easier and more trouble-free deployment, installation, maintenance, and security. The advantages of managed code are clear and recognition of this fact is gradually growing in the public consciousness and corporate boardrooms. Just as there came a day when the MS-DOS-based software market was pronounced dead, so will come the day when software purchasers will only settle for managed code. .Net is a new and better kind of software and a new set of tools to build it. And yes, .Net makes it easier to build and deploy the XML Web Services that everyone is talking about. With Dot Net development and software, businesses can realize improvements in the time and cost associated with developing and maintaining their business applications, as well as benefiting from empowering employees with the ability to act on vital information anywhere, from any smart device. Moreover, taking the modular aspects of modern software applications and allowing them to communicate through standard Internet protocols (XML and SOAP), XML Web services offer a direct means by which business processes can interact. Applications hosted internally, as well as on remote systems, can be stitched together, allowing businesses to program the Web-quickly and economically creating specialized solutions that meet unique business needs. Creating XML Web services and exposing them on the Internet also provides another key advantage: it greatly expands the number of customers and business partners that can come in contact with a business's services. | ||||||||||
