Chances are that your organization may have the need for RPG applications to share and exchange data with databases other than DB2. Maybe your order management or ecommerce system is on a web server running SQL Server, PostgreSQL or MySQL/MariaDB. Or maybe you need to create SQLite files to expose data to a mobile application.
In today’s world you may be replicating data files and uploading and downloading data on a scheduled basis. Wouldn’t it be a better idea to use the data real-time where it lives instead of making multiple copies? Using live data also greatly improves performance when communicating between multiple systems.
This session will provide an introduction to how you can utilize RPG and open-source technology to interact in real-time with other databases. No more syncing or importing/exporting data on a scheduled basis. Use live data where it lives without replication.
