Configure provides a single environment to access, and leverage the knowledge captured by Comprehend to create complete, correct mainframe services to your SOA or BPM initiatives the first time. Unlike other mainframe integration approaches that require iterative requirements, analysis and design cycles, Configure eliminates this costly and error prone cycle with a validation based approach where the knowledge gained in Comprehend can be used by the service developer to quickly configure an appropriate mainframe service with full visibility to all expected outcomes of any mainframe based transaction.

Configure allows the SOA web-service developer to best leverage the existing business processes encapsulated in the mainframe by providing the ability to integrate to the 3270 screen logic, direct transactions or directly to the data. By combining together micro-flow driven screen and transaction execution, direct data object access and manipulation through SQL, as well as the extension of mainframe logic with the addition of new java logic.

With Configure you can:

• Quickly encapsulate any mainframe application logic
• Configure SQL bases access to any enterprise data source.
• Significantly increase development productivity, reducing costs, and development time.
• Significantly reduce the risk of creating mainframe services relying on business analysts.
• Create secure, scalable web-services from any mainframe application logic or data source.

Previously, the process of converting mainframe application logic and data into a service was a tedious effort with great risks. With Configure, businesses can transform legacy investments into easily consumable services to create business value.
