Installing the iWay Emulation Adapter (3270/5250)
The iWay Emulation Adapter (3270/5250) links new business applications to mainframe-based
business logic through IBM 3270/5250 terminal screens and data streams. It enables you to
transform your 3270/5250 mainframe screens into HTML pages or to create a Remote
Procedure Call (RPC) request to transform the output of screens into an answer set. The
adapter provides a simple, lightweight, and scalable way to reuse the business logic and data
of terminal applications.
The iWay Emulation Adapter (3270/5250) requires client components that you must configure
after installing iWay 7.0.2 SM. The two client components are:
The run-time component, which is supported on:
Microsoft Windows 2000 with SP2 and Windows 2003.
UNIX.
OS/390 and z/OS (under UNIX System Services (USS)).
The Telnet Designer, which is supported on:
Microsoft Windows 2000 with SP2.
Windows 2003.
Windows XP SP1.
Note: If you plan to run the Emulation Adapter on a UNIX system, you must install iWay 7.0.2
SM and the Emulation Adapter client components on the UNIX system and also install the
adapter client components on a Windows system. This enables you to use the Telnet Designer,
which is supported on Windows only.
The iWay Emulation Adapter requires client components, including the Telnet Designer, that
