The
InterPlex Enterprise gateway is a read/write gateway using the
“COMMIT/CONFIRM” transaction model.
Updates are supplied by generated access routines built through the
InterPlex administration tool. Updates,
made to DMS database(s) via the DataServer using InterPlex generated
access routines, will insure data integrity and synchronization of all
transactions involved.
In general, the InterPlex SQL
mainframe components will access the DMS database with the same
performance that your application programs achieve.
To ensure this performance, an analysis of the data and the paths
used to access the data should be undertaken.
The same concerns used when building your native DMS applications
should be applied during the generation of the InterPlex SQL views.
If this approach is taken, the relative performance should match
your native DMS application performance.
Enterprise
Gateway Definition
Within
a company’s computer network, there are many different types of hardware
and operating systems. An important need to assimilating data from various
heterogeneous data sources so decisions can be made with accurate and
timely information based on the enterprise data is critical.
A gateway, by definition, is an application that implements
protocols to exchange information between a server and an otherwise
incompatible target system. The
InterPlex Enterprise gateway server is a set of processes that allows one
or more foreign DataServers to access the Unisys DMS database.
The client application that accesses the Unisys DMS database
through the InterPlex gateway can be any client application that normally
interacts with the selected DataServer.
The
diagram below indicates where various InterPlex Enterprise products fit in
a Unisys ClearPath IX or 2200 environment.
This product family has the ability to inter-connect and coexist
within the Unisys environment. The
arrangement shows a client system, such as a Microsoft workstation and a
DataServer node with the InterPlex Enterprise gateway installed.
The InterPlex gateway server supplies the communications between
the DataServer and the Unisys DMS database.
