CONNX®
real-time data virtualisation across Adabas and the enterprise estate
CONNX® turns Adabas and other data sources into standards-based, relational endpoints — accessible to analytics, cloud, and microservice consumers as if they were ordinary databases. No copying. No duplication and No batch window.

DATA VIRTUALISATION
driving enterprise integration and modernisation®
the software
what it is
CONNX® is a data virtualisation and federation platform that exposes Adabas, VSAM, IMS, DB2, RMS and many other sources through standard JDBC, ODBC and OLE DB interfaces. It presents non-relational sources as relational views — without physically moving the data — so modern consumers can query legacy systems with SQL.
why it matters
Most modernisation pain isn’t in the application — it’s in the data. Analytics teams want relational access to Adabas. Microservices need real-time reads without hammering the host. Cloud platforms expect standards-based connectivity. The traditional answer is ETL: copy the data somewhere else, keep it in sync, hope it’s fresh enough. CONNX® inverts that model — the data stays where it is, governed and correct, and consumers reach it in real time through the interfaces they already speak.
capabilities
relational access to Adabas
Query Adabas files using standard SQL through JDBC, ODBC or OLE DB — as if they were tables in any enterprise RDBMS.
data federation
Join data across Adabas, DB2, VSAM, IMS, Oracle, SQL Server and more in a single virtual query, without moving any of it.
real-time access
Consumers read live data from the source system — no overnight batch, no staleness, no reconciliation drift.
API & microservice enablement
Expose virtualised data through Java Enterprise services and APIs, ready for consumption by microservices and cloud applications.
analytics enablement
Power BI, Tableau, Qlik, Cognos and similar analytics tools can query Adabas and other legacy sources directly through CONNX®.
minimal disruption
No changes required to the source system. No duplicate data estate to govern. Operational risk stays low while data reach grows.
