When the source code does not exist . In this case, an organization has no choice, except if the application is a 3270 app and screen scraping is all that s desired. IMS support is in development. About The Transparence Engine Architecturally, Transparence consists of a low-level engine implemented as an MVS subsystem. The purpose of the engine is to supply services for pre-built integration modules called Transparence Adapters.
Transparence is designed for business logic access.
The Transparence engine therefore has technology that can tap into a running application program at pre-defined points within the application code we call touchpoints. The Transparence engine dynamically instruments application programs at run time. The purpose of instrumentation is to dynamically link the execution of one or more Transparence Adapters to a touchpoint. Internally, touchpoints are address locations in Transparence-enabled load modules. Transparence understands the Assembler instruction expansion of high-level source verbs and selects for each type of verb, the appropriate instruction as the touchpoint.
