Connector for IBM® AS400

The IBM® AS/400® connector allows you to easily unlock the data in your

IBM® AS/400®, reducing the time to market, total cost of ownership and

integration complexity. The IBM® AS/400® connector works with native

IBM® AS/400® objects (data queues and commands). The IBM® AS/400®

connector is an operation-based connector, meaning when you add the

connector to your flow, you configure a specific operation the connector is

intended to perform.

IBM AS/400 Connector Demo - External process calls AS/400

For this use case the external process needs to get product price from Merchandizing system running on AS/400.

Mule demo codeCreate Mule application that:

listens for HTTP requests with HTTP URL parameter productCode

http://localhost:8081/getProductPrice?productCode=CHAIRsends request to AS/400 data queue

waits for response from AS/400 in the response data queue

returns the product price back to HTTP response

Status=OK;100.00

IBM® AS/400® process calls external function (i.e.) IBM® AS/400® process requests to convert transaction amount from one currency to another using real time exchange rate web service.External function calls IBM® AS/400® (i.e.) External function requests to retrieve product price from merchandizing system on IBM® AS/400®.External function needs to execute an IBM® AS/400® command line operation, for example create a new DB2 table, clear data queue, or call a custom program.

The IBM® AS/400® Connector coupled with Infoview Systems IBM® AS/400® Web Transaction Framework provides for a unified integration experience.
