Today’s article addresses a recent code challenge that we encountered and successfully solved. Below, we’ll demonstrate a way to route all dynamic DB2 requests for a particular User ID, such as SQL from Rational for i, IBM DataStudio, DataGrip, Mulesoft, etc. – a game changer for handling SQL requests from various platforms. Normally these requests

A cutting-edge webinar that merges the art of pair programming with the innovation of AI for both IBM i and IBM z systems. Dedicated to COBOL developers working on IBM's midrange and mainframe platforms, offering a deep dive into how AI can amplify coding collaboration and efficiency.

Thanks to a highly online customer base and workforce, modern software architectural styles tend to strive for better flexibility, scalability, and maintainability in their complex ecosystems. In this battle for efficiency and power, two prominent architectural styles have become popular – Microservices and Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA). Here, we dive into the basic principles, key characteristics,

IT Managers looking to modernize are increasingly finding salvation in the Strangler Application Pattern, an incremental approach theorized by Martin Fowler fifteen years ago. Sitting on top of a monolith Managers of mission-critical legacy systems face big challenges when called upon to usher them into the modern age. These systems, many of which are many

In business, the status quo can be deadly. And there is no deadlier force than the quiet march of technological progress, somewhere in the wild, slowly but surely rendering your business obsolete. This thought isn’t new if your critical business operations are running on a legacy language like COBOL. It’s a trusty system, has been

In today’s economy, volatility is the new normal. But in tech, disruptive volatility is now on steroids. Thanks to the pandemic and the sporadic growth that followed, IT managers struggled to address how best to move their modernization goals forward. Adapting to remote work needs and a customer base that shifted online, new and bigger

Enterprise software is in a critical stage of its evolution. Software complexity continues to advance while customer data grows exponentially along with it (although which one is the chicken and which one is the egg could be debated). To make matters even more fun, artificial intelligence is well on its way to turbocharging both. In
