Re: As400 on the Web

If you want two quick and dirty ways.
1.  Allow green screen access to the application via the Internet.  Either
the customer can get a TN5250 emulator or you can get a java applet that
will load from a webpage that does the 5250 emulation.
2.  Use the WSG (workstation gateway) fucntion that is built into the OS.
It allow you to use a browser to GUIized the 400 screens.  The 400 does 5250
to HTML conversion on the fly.  If you can connect via TCP/IP all you do is
point your browser to the IP address and specify the proper port that the
WSG is listening on.  (I don't know what that is off the top of my head).

Or you can write java that will be servered from a web page that will
retrieve data from the 400 and present it to the user.  This is work, the
above are relativly easy solutions.

Subject: As400 on the Web


     All,


     I have an application written in legacy RPGIII, RPG400 and some COBOL.

     I would like to make the application available to clients on the Web.

     What should I be looking at? What 'Keywords' should I be using to
     'search' InfoManager. What do I need to do ?

     In a nutshell, how does it work ?


     Regards, Neil Holley-Williams
