Use existing skills to modernize COBOL and C applications
IBM® WebSphere® eXtended Transaction Runtime is a distributed environment to modernize COBOL and C applications within IBM WebSphere Application Server. It enables you to use existing skills to extend and reuse COBOL and C applications in a Java Enterprise Edition (Java EE) environment.
Standardizing assets natively within WebSphere Application Server provides transactional integrity, security and scalability and improves flexibility and administrative productivity within an enterprise service-oriented architecture (SOA).
WebSphere eXtended Transaction Runtime helps you:
- Modernize and deploy composite, transactional applications to extend and reuse core business assets and information across the enterprise.
- Create a responsive, integrated infrastructure for COBOL, C and Java workloads that simplifies integration, administration and management.
- Uses IBM Mixed Language Application Modernization Pattern to extend the capability of WebSphere eXtended Transaction Runtime.
Modernize and deploy composite, transactional applications
- Enable developers to focus on business logic through simplified interoperability between Java EE, COBOL and C workloads.
- Provide standard interfaces to invoke COBOL and C applications from Java.
- Simplify development and integration and increase productivity with COBOL and C application errors propagated as Java exceptions.
- Deploy composite transactional applications on distributed topologies in clustered environments with greater ease.
Create a responsive, integrated infrastructure for COBOL, C and Java workloads
- Take advantage of global transactions with two-phase commit that spans COBOL, C and Java workloads.
- Increase operational efficiency by using simplified, unified administration to centrally manage multi-language workloads.
- Simplify integration and improve the agility of your SOA-enabled application infrastructure to support growth.
- Optimize your infrastructure with WebSphere Application Server family’s extensive business capability on distributed platforms.
- Improve productivity and efficiency through near seamless problem determination and development across mixed language applications.
Uses IBM Mixed Language Application Modernization Pattern
- Extends WebSphere eXtended Transaction Runtime capabilities within IBM PureApplication™ Systems and IBM Workload Deployer supported environments.
- Facilitates deployment of mixed language applications in a cloud environment.
- Hosts COBOL and C applications that require transaction capability with an IBM CICS® application programming interface (API).
- Supports tooling to assist in the migration of host applications that use the Oracle Tuxedo ATMI API.
