Product Overview

The architecture of CA Dataquery for CA Datacom comprised the Dataquery engine, a communication interface with CA Datacom/DB, and a user interface. These components communicated through internal APIs specific to the CA Datacom/DB environment. The tool interacted directly with CA Datacom/DB databases, without separate storage mechanisms.

It used configuration files for database connections, user access rights, and query optimization parameters. The tool did not expose standard APIs like REST or SOAP, relying on a proprietary interface. Security relied on CA Datacom/DB's security mechanisms, including role-based access control (RBAC).

Administrative interfaces were primarily command-line based, using CA Datacom/DB's administrative tools. Alternatives include IBM Db2 Query Management Facility (QMF) and CA Easytrieve Plus. Unlike some competitors, CA Dataquery offered a tightly integrated solution for CA Datacom/DB environments, potentially simplifying deployment and management.
