Learn about the main new functions in IBM® Integration Bus for z/OS.
IBM Integration Bus for z/OS
Version 10.1 delivers a comprehensive integration solution for
businesses requiring integration between z/OS® assets as well as
integration between applications that are deployed on z/OS and
distributed systems residing on on-premises.
For details of the new features in
IBM Integration Bus Version 10.1, see
the following sections.
QSAM nodes
QSAM (Queued Sequential Access Method) is an access method that is used to access sequential data
sets on z/OS. You can use the QSAM nodes to access data from
sequential files. Four nodes provide read, write, rename, and delete operations.
- QSAMDelete node
-
The QSAMDelete node is used to delete a sequential file
(QSAM data set).
For more information, see QSAMDelete node.
- QSAMRead node
-
The QSAMRead node is used to read records from a
sequential file (QSAM data set).
For more information, see QSAMRead node.
- QSAMRename node
-
The QSAMRename node is used to rename a sequential file
(QSAM data set).
For more information, see QSAMRename node.
- QSAMWrite node
-
The QSAMWrite node is used to write a received message as
a record in a sequential file (QSAM data set).
For more information, see QSAMWrite node.
VSAM nodes
You can use the VSAM nodes to access data from VSAM (Virtual Storage Access Method) data sets in
z/OS. Five nodes provide read, write, update, input, and delete
operations.
- VSAMDelete node
-
Use the VSAMDelete node to delete a record in a VSAM data
set and propagate the record to the rest of the message flow.
For more information, see VSAMDelete node.
- VSAMInput node
-
Use a VSAMInput node to read batches of records from a
VSAM data set, and propagate each of these records to the rest of a message flow.
For more information, see VSAMInput node.
- VSAMRead node
-
Use a VSAMRead node to read a record from a VSAM data set,
and propagate the record to the rest of a message flow.
For more information, see VSAMRead node.
- VSAMUpdate node
-
Use a VSAMUpdate node to update a record in a VSAM data
set, and propagate the record to the rest of the message flow.
For more information, see VSAMUpdate node.
- VSAMWrite node
-
Use a VSAMWrite node to write a record to a VSAM data
set.
For more information, see VSAMWrite node.
Usability enhancements for integration developers through IBM Explorer for z/OS
You can open the z/OS Explorer from the IBM Integration Toolkit. z/OS Explorer provides
connectivity to some key z/OS functions when configured on z/OS.
For more information, see IBM Explorer for z/OS.
Toolkit enhancement
- Eclipse eGit feature
-
The standard Eclipse eGit feature is now available in the Toolkit, and you can use the eGit
perspective to work with your Git repositories.
