TechNet Webcast: Accessing Operational Data in Mainframe VSAM Using SQL Server 2005 and Host Integration Server (Level 200)  

Most daily operational data resides in host files systems, such as mainframe VSAM and the AS/400 physical files. Often, legacy programs written in COBOL and RPG control access to these data sources. To improve your processes, you need to collect and analyze this vital information with up-to-date business intelligence tools in Microsoft SQL Server 2005. Integrating host-based data sources demands attention to issues such as security access, network deployment, and data conversion of complex data elements into SQL-accessible tables. This webcast shows how SQL Server can efficiently integrate legacy data sources using data and application technologies in Microsoft Host Integration Server.

Presenter: Paul Larsen, Group Manager, Microsoft Corporation

Paul Larsen is the group manager for Microsoft Host Integration Server. He is responsible for product planning and delivery, with a focus on the data integration technologies. Paul works closely with customers and partners to integrate existing line-of-business IBM host systems with new solutions based on the Microsoft Windows Server System.
