Experiences with Mobile from Mainframe to Multiple Devices

Project and Program: Application Architecture Development and Integration, Application Development Integration and Infrastructure

Tags: Proceedings, SHARE in Orlando 2015, 2015

In this session we will explore a real case study extending COBOL/IMS business services to mobile devices.  The architecture will be described, from mainframe server, to middleware, to web service framework, to hybrid mobile app.  The solution balances existing services and development skills with a business need that it be discovered in both the Apple Store and Google Play.  Technologies discussed will include COBOL, IBM WebSphere including Message Broker, REST, Dojo, PhoneGap, Android OS, and iOS.  Attention will also be given to ongoing support, maintenance, and enhancement needs.
This session is an update to a presentation given at SHARE in Anaheim and Pittsburgh in 2014.  Updates include additional lessons learned in distributing to the app stores, managing Javascript framework development including the emergence of AngularJS, and what we might do differently today.-John Mallonee-Highmark Health Services
