What is the primary function of the TIBCO Adapter for Files?
The TIBCO Adapter for Files facilitates data exchange between TIBCO applications and z/OS datasets. It supports reading data from z/OS datasets and sending it as TIBCO messages, as well as writing data from TIBCO messages into z/OS datasets.
What types of z/OS datasets does the adapter support?
The adapter supports sequential datasets, partitioned datasets (PDS), and generation data groups (GDG). These dataset types cover a wide range of data storage methods used in z/OS environments.
How are dataset parameters and message formats defined?
The adapter uses configuration files to define dataset parameters, message formats, and transformation rules. These files are typically XML-based and specify how data is mapped between z/OS datasets and TIBCO messages.
With what TIBCO products does the adapter integrate?
The adapter integrates with TIBCO Enterprise Message Service (EMS) for message transport. It can also integrate with other TIBCO products like TIBCO BusinessWorks for orchestration and data transformation.
