WebTek tips and techniques
Are you looking for easy ways to take CICS to the Web? Explore the demonstrations below to see several methods for accomplishing your goal.
Connecting Windows .NET programs to CICS
If you're taking advantage of the power of .NET applications but still want them to have real-time access to your CICS data, view this presentation. See how to accomplish your goal quickly and with minimal fuss. With WebTek, there is no client configuration, no setup, no gateway, and no middleware to worry about.
How to provide 3270 emulation on the Web
View a demonstration about how one of the largest insurance companies in America saved $2 million by using a quick, easy, and cost-effective method to Web-enable 3270 transactions. This is a good approach when you simply need to provide Web access to 3270 transactions while retaining the current look and feel.
How to write COBOL programs for the Web and beyond
If you want to leverage your existing investment in COMMAREA programs to provide client access with Java, Visual Basic, C++, C#, or .NET, this is the presentation for you. You can write COBOL programs that will provide solid access without screenscraping, extra hardware and software, or additional training for IT staff.
How to adjust Java applications in less than two hours to access CICS data
Discover a simple, fast, and high-performing way to connect to CICS from your Java applications. Gain direct and secure access to CICS data with minimal setup and coding. The same techniques demonstrated here also apply to Java servlets, applets, Enterprise Beans, and JSPs.
How to adjust VB programs in less than two hours to access CICS data
Similar to the Java demonstration, this demonstration shows you how to make CICS data available to your VB programs with minimal setup and coding. You don't have to worry about network protocols, socket controls, or character set translation, and you don't need client, gateway, or middleware products.
Security options for direct CICS access
Whether you're providing access to CICS from Java, Visual Basic, or directly from a browser, you can get the security you need. View this demonstration to see how to password-protect some data and not other data, mask CICS resources, and allow users to update passwords as needed. This security system is fully integrated with mainframe Secure Access Facilities (SAF) and SSL.
Converting 3270 transactions to document domain programs
In this demonstration, you'll learn how to take existing 3270 data streams and facilitate any data format request, such as HTML and XML. In addition, see how to combine multiple screens and incorporate data from additional sources, such as other CICS transactions. This fast method for taking CICS to the Web requires minimal coding and lets you use existing skills sets and infrastructure.
