Solutions and benefits
IBM Eserver iSeries Access for Web is your solution for Web
browser-to-server connectivity. Using the iSeries Access for Web functions,
you can use your Web browser to access and administer your servers.
iSeries Access for Web enables end users to leverage business information,
applications and resources across an enterprise by extending the iSeries
resources to the client desktop through a Web browser.
iSeries Access for Web has the following advantages:
– Is server based
– Is implemented using Java Servlet technology
– Uses industry standard protocols–Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP),
Secured HTTP (HTTPS), and Hypertext Markup Language (HTML)
– Is lightweight, requiring only a browser on the client
– Provides access to 5250 user interface, database, integrated file system
(IFS), print, jobs, batch commands, and messages
For more details about the capabilities in the 5250 interface, refer to:
http://www.ibm.com/eserver/iseries/access/web/5250.html
Mail users can e-mail the results of a database, CL or file command, or PDF
view of print information to another user. This can be used as a one-step
method to distribute information across a network, even to non-iSeries users.
