Enterprise computing is based on high-volume transaction and batch processing systems, such as IBM mainframe and midrange host computers. To modernize these heritage systems, organizations are using business process orchestration in Microsoft BizTalk Server 2006. Join this webcast to learn how the new BizTalk Adapter for Host Applications allows enterprises to connect BizTalk Server solutions to existing IBM mainframe zSeries (CICS and IMS) or midrange iSeries (AS/400) server programs. Based on technology from the Microsoft Transaction Integrator (TI), this adapter offers an intuitive Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 designer, including host COBOL and RPG source code import wizards for generating XML Schema (XSD) for BizTalk Server projects. We explain how the administration tools are integrated with the BizTalk Server port configuration and deployment tools. Attend this session to see how you can use the BizTalk Adapter for Host Applications to efficiently extend host programs with new solutions based on BizTalk Server 2006.
