汎用機データをWebサービス用に変換する。WRQとAttachmates。
Legacy app servers get Web services
Verastream 5.5, WRQ strengthened its ties to Microsoft's Visual Studio .Net and BizTalk Server 2004 to let developers work directly with legacy components from within the Microsoft .Net development environment.
WRQ also added new event handlers, designed to maximize code reuse, to Verastream. With this feature a developer could create, for example, a utility that translates cryptic product codes from a legacy inventory application into easily understood product descriptions; this translation tool then could be isolated and used in subsequent development projects
:
Attachmate's myExtra Smart Connector Mainframe Edition 4.0.2 is priced at starting at $70,000. WRQ's Verastream 5.5 is expected to be available later this month; pricing for enterprise integration projects starts at $65,000. The two vendors compete for shares of the terminal emulation and legacy integration markets, along with vendors such as Jacada, IBM, NetManage and Seagull Software.
