Turn Any Synon Application into a REST API and MCP servers

Tuesday September 1, 2026 3:30pm - 4:20pm PDT

Modernize your Synon (CA 2E) applications without rewriting proven business logic. In this session, you’ll learn how to expose existing Synon programs as secure, scalable REST APIs and MCP servers, that can be consumed by AI agents, web applications, mobile apps, cloud platforms, and third-party systems. We’ll demonstrate how to rapidly create APIs and MCP servers, apply authentication and security, and integrate with modern technologies while preserving your investment in IBM i. Whether you’re building a digital transformation strategy, enabling cloud integration, or supporting AI initiatives, this class will show practical techniques for extending the value of your Synon applications through standards-based REST services.
