TechNet Support WebCast: Microsoft Host Integration Server 2004 data providers for DB2 and host files (843032)

Session Summary

Tuesday, June 22, 2004

The majority of mission-critical data resides in DB2 databases and host files systems, such as mainframe VSAM data sets and the AS/400 physical files. Typically, enterprise developers write a custom COBOL CICS or AS/400 RPG program to read or write this vital data. The time that it takes to develop these host programs can hamper enterprise IT roll-out of new solutions in a timely manner.

Microsoft Host Integration Server 2004 offers data providers for enterprise developers to rapidly develop new data integration solutions, using Visual Studio .NET 2000. This Support WebCast demonstrates how enterprise developers can quickly and reliably integrate data stored in DB2 and host file systems, using HIS data providers and the .NET Framework (ADO.NET).

This is a Level 200 session presented by Paul Larsen.

Paul Larsen leads the program managers who are responsible for Host Integration Server technologies that make it possible for enterprise IT groups to integrate existing line-of-business IBM host systems with new solutions based on the Microsoft Windows Server System. Paul has been on the Host Integration Server team for nine years, focusing on network and data integration technologies.

Co-presenting is Jeff Derstadt, a software design engineer with the Host Integration Server Team.
