EntireX 9.0 – Implemented Brainstorm Ideas

• Testing of IDLs in webMethods scenarios [1033097]

• Turned down default logging in Adapter for IS [1036109]

• Multiple listeners (aka Attach Manager) for Adapter for IS [1039289]

• Job names and CICS TS names in SMF records [1010219]

• Improved default handling for preserving space in XML and WS

scenarios [1038204]

• Re-architectured alias and short-name handling [1039561]

• Arabic shaping with UTF-8 [1042468]

• CICS RPC Server User Exits [1046480]

• Authorization call (align TopSecret-RACF handling) [1046522]

EntireX

Unix & Windows:

Character shaping

is handled by the

visualization layer

(1 codepoint)

In Arabic, there‘s a different graphical

representation for some characters.

This representation depends on at which

position the character appears in the text:

• Isolated

• Final in a word

• Medial in a word

• Initial in a word

Mainframe:

Character shaping

is handled by

the codepage

(4 codepoints)

Massdiscounters, a leading discount retailer in South Africa—which operates Game and DionWired—was under pressure to modernize its IT landscape to improve organizational agility due to longer supply chains and growing competition.

Building upon its 25-year investment in Adabas and Natural, MassDiscounters relied on webMethods Integration Server to link multiple legacy apps with other systems in real-time to avoid the high costs & inefficiencies of “rip and replace” while identifying and addressing a significant number of process-related change requests.

Nissan Europe S.A.S. is a holding company that through its subsidiaries; designs, manufactures, and distributes Nissan vehicles in Europe. It also offers automotive technology and safety equipments such as intelligent key, active head restraint system, satellite navigation system, and engine immobilizer.

By examining and modernizing the technology and processes in place to engage with its partner community, Nissan Europe was able to leverage existing data & logic from its back-end systems. Moreover, they were able to integrate new features & functionality into existing applications to establish direct access to Nissan dealers to order, update & better control inventory.

Avnet is one of the world's largest industrial distributors

of electronic parts, enterprise computing and storage

products and embedded subsystems. The company has

grown through strategic acquisitions—including more than

40 since 1998, creates a vital link in the technology supply

chain.

With its extensive history of acquisition, Avnet which runs

25 million transactions per day through webMethods

technology wanted to optimize IT processes to accelerate

development time & speed up the time it takes for

acquired companies to be integrated and enable faster

customer on-boarding.
