Mainframe injection component and method for manipulating data packets communicated between emulators and mainframes

摘要

The present technology concerns a mainframe injection component (MIC) for manipulating at least one data packet communicated between at least one emulator and at least one mainframe. A packet processor is configured to receive the at least one data packet, manipulate the at least one received data packet to produce at least one modified data packet, and inject the at least one modified data packet into the communication between the at least one emulator and the at least one mainframe. The packet processor is further configured to retrieve at least one processing instruction from a repository according to at least one pre-defined processing rule and to apply the at least one processing instruction on the at least one received data packet to produce the at least one modified data packet.
