Abstract

See full text

A method and associated systems for handling a service request in a hybrid computer system. The hybrid computer system includes an application server computer and at least two mainframe computers. The server computer receives a service request from a user application, determines that the service request does not request a memory-management function, associates the request with a single-digit numeric category, and selects one of the mainframe computers as being able to most efficiently provide the requested service. The server then translates the service request into a configuration compatible with the selected mainframe and with a mainframe operating system running on the selected mainframe, and transmits the translated request to the selected mainframe. The server receives a result from the mainframe and translates the result into a configuration compatible with the application server computer, with the user application, and with a server operating system running on the application server computer.
