Welcome to a new way of thinking.

Connect:Direct Java Application Interface

Access the full power and functionality of Connect:Direct from your Java applications

without learning a line of proprietary code.

This is the productivity tool youve been asking for an

easy, inexpensive Java interface to Connect:Direct.

With it, and a few Java commands, you can access the

worlds most secure and reliable file transfer product

directly from your new Java applications.

Surprised by what you already own?

Why write new file transfer code or use less reliableFTP when you already own the best? With the

Connect:Direct Java Application Interface youll inherit

features like:

> Secure connections assured through end-point

authentication and state-of-the-art cryptographic

routines

> Efficient data delivery through sophisticated

compression algorithms

> Service level management plus audit trails and

activity tracking

> Ability to kick off activity at the receiving end

once a file is delivered

> Notification of receipt, notification of non-

receipt, notification of failure, notification of failure

to send

> Automatic error handling and recovery routines

such as rerouting in the event of a blocked

communication path, transmission restart at point

of failure, and lost or corrupted data detection

> Full support for files of any size, content of any

type, and multiple platforms including OS/390,

UNIX, Windows, Linux, AS/400, HP NonStop and

many others

Minimal Cost, Huge PaybackProgrammers who are already using it have nothing

but praise for the interface. It adds tremendous value

without any hassle and requires minimal development

time. It cuts staff costs by eliminating file transfer

support issues. And it lowers overall risk by eliminating

the need to reinvent advanced Connect:Direct processes.

Managers report benefits like:

> Increases ROI by leveraging existing investment i

Connect:Direct technology

> Saves money by shortening development cycles

and reducing time to market

> Builds trust by giving customers, business partne

and management the same level of service theyre

accustomed to

And, of course, they love the price tag. Why spend

months building band-aids around free FTP when

you can get the whole package for next to nothing?

The fact is, your company invested in Connect:Direct

because its better at one thing than anything else out

there: assured data delivery. That assurance is more

important now than ever.

How it Works

server and perform Connect:Direct functions. Your

Java programmers do not need to learn the

Connect:Direct command language or spend time

writing unfamiliar C or C++ routines. The interface

provides access to all Connect:Direct functions,

including submit and select processes, control

processes, netmap functions, user authorizations,

proxies, change translate tables and control tracing.
