IBM i customers that want data access capabilities, based on open database connectivity
About iSecurity DB-Gate
DB-Gate empowers IBM i customers with exciting data access capabilities, based on Open Database Connectivity (ODBC), employing standard IBM i facilities to enable fully database-transparent access to remote systems. Using native SQL on the IBM i, users can now access specific files on DB2 and non-DB2 remote databases without any special hardware appliance or software on the remote database. From interactive STRSQL and from any standard program in RPG, Cobol, C, or other languages, access is now easier and more natural than ever. DB-Gate has been proven to be a full, successful replacement for OAM, the Oracle Access Manager, which has not been supported since IBM i release 7.3. As your enterprise applications expand in database requirements and complexity, so does the need to access multiple databases from your main application server. Current methods of accessing specific files on a remote database from within the IBM i require considerable time and resources.
