CopperChains Version 3.0

Memory data handling and accessfrom complex to simplex

AND

making Z/OS, even more, irresistible

The two targets of CopperChains

Data storage in memory

Accessing data in memory

CopperChainsQuestion: What can we do with a Chain?

Answer: Just about anything

Create a Chain Add, Insert and Delete links

Add a subchain

Clone a chain complex Copy/move a chain to another

chain Copy/move a sub- or partial

chain to another chain

Sort a chain

Serialize a chain, subchain or partial chain

Rebuild a chain, subchain or partial chain

Basic methods of storing data

Copperchains

CopperBTrees

CopperIndexes

Copperalley Gmbh 9

CopperChains Version 3.0 What can be done with indexes

Index all chain links using an alternate index

Index only specific chain links

Retrieve data using a specific index (very fast)

Copperalley Gmbh 10

CopperChains Version 3.0 Accessibility

CopperSOA

CopperParGen (CopperStudio)

CopperCall

CopperOpenAccess

Copperalley Gmbh 11

CopperChains Version 3.0 CopperSOA

Simplified CICS Pipelining Builds a CopperChain complex automatically from the input XML

Converts an output CopperChain complex to XML to be returned to the caller

Builds path information automatically using CopperIndexes

Copperalley Gmbh 12

CopperChains Version 3.0 CopperParGen - REXX/ISPF

Generates cobol programs which use the IBM Parser to parse XML and generates code to convert Cobol copybook data into XML

Generates control programs which can call any number of parser programs to deal with dynamic XML

Copperalley Gmbh 13

CopperChains Version 3.0 CopperCall

Call any module using parameters passed by the incoming XML

Returns output information in Copybook format, i.e. conversion takes place externally

Copperalley Gmbh 14

CopperChains Version 3.0 CopperOpenAccess

Call multiple modules using CopperCall and/or multiple SOA services

Returns output information in XML and/or Copybook format, i.e. conversion, where neccessary, takes place externally

Please note: there is currently no logic behind this type of call
