connectivity to MQSeries,
IMS (via MQSeries), CICS DPL (via
MQSeries or CICS Client) and CICS
3270 (via CICS Client). LotusScript
applications using the MQEI have
independence from both network
configurations and message formats,
withintegrated security features
enabling your users to seamlessly
sign-on to multiple enterprise systems
from one common easy to use front
end.
MQSeries link LotusScript Extension

This enhancement to the existing
MQLSX is fully integrated with the
Domino application development
environment (IDE) and can be used in
any environment supporting
LotusScript. It incorporates the full

Queuing Interface (MQI), giving your
LotusScript applications the ability to
interact with any MQSeries capable
application throughout your
enterprise.

Specifics about the MQSeries Enterprise Integrator include:

• Easy Interface: Faster host system and mainframe integration deployment are achieved
using this Rapid Application Development middleware tool. A set of classes that provides a
Notes programmer with a simple interface to communicate with enterprise applications.
These classes provide a common set of verbs, hiding details of any transaction management
system being used by the enterprise application.
• Native Access: Simplified integration tasks are performed through an optimized
connection with built-in capabilities to access unmodified enterprise applications running
under CICS and IMS, as well as MQSeries enabled applications on other enterprise server
platforms. This includes CICS Dynamic Program Link (DPL) programs plus CICS and IMS
3270 transactions.
• Enhanced message building facilities: Beyond the secure, one time delivery of a financial
transaction message that this integration technology provides. Notes programmers can build
and interpret messages by reading and writing named fields within the message, without
having to know precise details of the message format.
• Configuration Notes database: Simplifies LotusScript programs even further by providing
a repository of message format and enterprise application definitions.

• Seamless Security: Integration of the Identification and Authentication services of Lotus

Domino with the access controls provided by CICS, IMS and MQSeries, providing a secure,
seamless sign-on capability to you enterprise systems.
