SharePlex Bridge™

Real-time Capture and Export of MPE Transaction Data

• Automatically generates logs in ASCII formats for easy access and processing by many industry standard data movement tools
• Associates data sets within a database, or within a single file, with a specific transaction or message file for real-time access
• Maps time-sequenced transaction files to specific data file structures

Reliable export of MPE data to open systems is imperative for a company to survive in today’s rapidly expanding business community. With the rise of e-business delivering instantaneous transactions globally, your company needs a solid MPE/open systems exporting solution.

SharePlex Bridge™ acts as a bridge between MPE legacy systems and open systems. It provides real-time or scheduled capture of transaction data on MPE, enabling open-systems RDMSs like Informix™, Sybase, CA-Ingres and other popular file systems to access HP 3000 data. SharePlex Bridge makes data available through an open format and standard ASCII text to applications running on UNIX or Windows platforms. The ASCII text makes it easy for applications on open systems to fully understand sequence, timing, before- and after-record images, and transaction type, eliminating costly errors in sequence handling and problems created by changes in the database.

SharePlex Bridge allows data movement from MPE to virtually any target data structure on any platform with the ability to integrate output into a custom application or any of the standard data warehousing or data movement tools.

MPE and open systems coexistence provides transparent programmatic access to transactions with intelligent mapping facilities designed to provide continuous, seamless, and real-time or scheduled movement of data from MPE to other platforms and RDBMS. Quest Software addresses these needs with the following middleware solutions: BridgeWare, NFS/iX, and NetBase Client.
