Access to Legacy Applications and Data

***** *Gaining Access to Legacy Data

OLE DB data providers make it easy to access diverse legacy data sources from IIS 5.0. Data providers targeting legacy host environments include:

• OLE DB provider for DB2

• OLE DB provider for AS/400 and VSAM

This section describes how you can incorporate legacy file systems into your Web applications, by using a data provider to access AS/400 and VSAM files at the record level and move the data to the IIS 5.0 environment. For information about OLE DB provider for DB2, see the SNA Server product documentation.
