In the simplest terms, a socket is an Application Programming Interface (API) standard that
permits a large set of heterogeneous software applications to connect and talk to one another
over a TCP/IP network. Over the past fifteen years, the sockets API has gained global
acceptance and favor. The result of this is that socket interfaces have become one of
the leading interprocess communication mechanisms chosen by developers of client/server
and business-to-business applications.
While sockets are native to and easily implemented on the iSeries/400, they represent a significant
challenge to the typical iSeries/400 IT department. The primary reason for this is that the underlying
socket API's are written in C and most iSeries/400 shops function mainly in RPG or COBOL. While it is
true that high level API interfaces are now available, the learning curve can be quite expensive and
debugging issues often leave technicians scratching their heads.
Golden State Software Systems has solved this problem successfully for many organizations
throughout the world. We have the ability to custom tailor and deliver compiled socket
objects to your facility giving your iSeries/400 applications a powerful and transparent connection
method to virtually any other application running on any other platform.
Features:
- Single thread or multi-thread supports point-to-point or client/server paradigms.
- Client or Server versions allow your applications to talk or listen.
- ASCII to EBCDIC translation and vice versa simplifies and maximizes your connection
possibilities.
- Flexible ACK and NAK messages lets you meet unique vendor requirements saving you
the expense of having them meet yours, if they can.
- Handles standard or non-standard STX and ETX so your application can talk to anybody.
- Customizable bandwidth lets you tailor the socket to your exact application or network
specifications.
- Coalescing features insure the complete receipt of long messages absorbing difficult
to diagnose router and switch glitches.
- Back-ends or front-ends to native AS/400* files or data queues so your application doesn't
even know it's there.
- Numerous traffic auditing features simplify implementation and testing.
- Self diagnosing so if something crashes it, you'll know why.
- Automatic re-invocation so if something crashes it, it will come right back up again.
- Offered at an unbeatable price and backed by Golden State Software Systems' years of
experience.
Cost:
- Starting as low as: $1,540
