MQ Series works very well.  It is fairly easy to use, especially when you have 
MQ on both the sending and the receiving system.  But even if you only have it 
on the mainframe, you can still do it on the iSeries using the java messaging 
foundation classes.

Subject: RE: ISeries - Mainframe Communications

One of the solutions to my project below that we already have in-house is
IBM's Websphere MQ formerly known as MQ series.  Is there anyone out there
who has worked with this that could comment?  It seems to me that it's a
message handling system and we would have to code programs on either side to
handle the file updates contained in each message.

Another solution I have found is IBM's DB2 DataPropagator.  Once again, is
there anyone out there who has worked with this that could comment?  This
looks like it will definitely do what we need without a lot of extra code.

All,

I need some suggestions.  I have just been given an assignment to research a
project to permit our local ISeries RPG programs to communicate with and
access data in a cross reference file on our 390 mainframe.  I am looking
for advice on how to use native devices or third party products or anything
else out there.  One system I have already been asked to look at is MQ
Series.

The design we envision would maintain a mirror in each country's iSeries
system of the mainframe file.  The system needs to keep the mirror file
synchronized with the mainframe on its own.  The reason we need this design
as opposed to accessing the mainframe file directly is to keep the local
system running in the event of a communications interruption.
