Introduction: With ZIETrans, you can create Web applications that provide an easy-to-use graphical user interface (GUI) for your 3270 applications running on System z® platforms and your 5250 applications running on IBM i operating system platforms. You can also create service-oriented architecture (SOA) assets using Web services that provide standard programming interfaces to business logic and transactions contained within host applications. Data from video terminal (VT) emulation screens can also be accessed. ZIETrans applications can be given a modern appearance. ZIETrans Web applications can be developed with an interface that matches your company's Web, and your users can access them through their Web browsers. ZIETrans Web applications can also be developed to provide access from mobile devices such as cellular phones, data collection terminals, and personal digital assistants (PDAs). The following figure shows the stages of development, deployment, and runtime for a ZIETrans Web application. The developer uses the ZIETrans Toolkit to develop and test a ZIETrans Web application. When ready, the developer deploys the ZIETrans application by exporting it as a Java™ EE application and installing and running it on a WebSphere Application Server system. Using a Web browser, the user accesses the ZIETrans application. The ZIETrans runtime connects to the target host system through a Telnet server. As the user interacts with the host through the ZIETrans application, the ZIETrans runtime transforms host screens to a GUI. You can configure application server for ZIETrans by following steps below: Method 1: Open the ZIETrans toolkit click on menu bar, click Window -> Show View. Server tab will open below. To add a server Right click -> New-> Server. In the New Server Runtime Environment dialog, expand the IBM folder. Select WebSphere Application Server Liberty Profile in the New Server Runtime Environment dialog box and provide path of the server in your directory. Select WebSphere Application Server...

HCL ZIETrans allows you to transform your user experience by extending 3270 and 5250 terminal applications to the web, portlet, rich client, or as standard SOAP or RESTful web services. By default, all HCL ZIETrans Web applications are stored in one enterprise archive file. HCL ZIETrans Toolkit is an HCL ZIE component that enables you to develop new applications and allows previewing and saving each change. We can streamline the HCL ZIETrans application in such a way that it becomes easier to use the host applications whose data and functions it presents. The supported servers for multiple HCL ZIETrans applications in an ear are ‘WebSphere Application Server’ and ‘WebSphere Liberty’. This blog describes the ways to manage the HCL ZIETrans web applications that have multiple .ear and multiple .war in the projects, using HCL ZIETrans Toolkit and the best practices. When you export your applications as HCL ZIETrans EAR file and deploy them on WebSphere Application Server, the .ear file contains a Web archive (.war) file with the resources to run each application. An EAR may also combine multiple web projects (WAR), Enterprise JavaBeans projects (JAR), standard JARs, etc. into a single application. Each individual .ear consumes around 25MB (minimum) of disk space during runtime. So, if you have multiple HCL ZIETrans projects you may end up having multiple HCL ZIETrans EAR of varying size depending on the complexity of the application. Based on different deployment or development scenarios may lead to developers/administrators opting for single EAR or multiple EAR’s deployment solutions. The below table illustrates salient points of the ‘Individual’ Vs ‘Multiple wars in single’ EAR deployment method, based on these customers can decide their HCL ZIETrans application deployment architecture. Table 1: Individual Vs Multiple wars in one EAR deployment Ways to organize the HCL ZIETrans Web Applications: Associating...

Introduction: With HCL Z and I Emulator for Transformation (ZIETrans), we can create Web applications that provide an easy-to-use graphical user interface (GUI) for your 3270 applications running on IBM® z Systems platforms and our 5250 applications running on IBM i operating system platforms. ZIETrans applications can be given a modern appearance. ZIETrans Web applications can be developed with an interface that matches the company's Web or portal pages, and users can access them through their Web browsers. ZIETrans Web applications can also be developed to provide access to the host applications from mobile devices such as cellular phones, data collection terminals, and personal digital assistants (PDAs). All of the steps in developing a ZIETrans application are performed using the Eclipse-based IBM® Rational® Software Delivery Platform (Rational SDP). The Rational SDP provides the user interface and integrated development environment (IDE) from which you launch wizards to create resources, view lists of resources, and use editors to modify resources. When you start Rational SDP, you see a single window in which one or more perspectives are displayed. A perspective is a collection of views and editors that allow you to create, edit, view, and run resources which belong to a specific type of project--in this case a ZIETrans project. More than one perspective can be opened at a time, although you can view and work with only one at a time. At the far right of the Rational SDP window, is a shortcut bar that allows you to open new perspectives and move between perspectives that are already open. The name of the active perspective appears in the title of the window, and the toolbar contains icons associated with the active perspective. Starting ZIETrans Toolkit and perspective The ZIETrans Toolkit can be started in two ways. Start Rational SDP from the...

Last week, we hosted our new Domino Volt July release webinar covering the latest features and enhancements. We had several demos on how to directly access your Domino data, workflow enhancements, service catalogs, PDF integrations and more. For IBM z and IBM i customers, we covered the latest integration with Z and I Emulator (ZIE) to turn green screen apps into REST endpoints that Domino Volt can use to build new workflows and apps.  We received a lot of great questions. You can find those questions — and the answers — below. Or catch all the excitement in this replay here:   Want more Domino Volt?  Try v1.0.1 in the updated Domino Volt sandbox. Register for a free sandbox account. For those who already have a sandbox account, new sample apps have been uploaded here.  We recently launched a Domino Volt roundtable series, where we introduce different important topics and host open discussions with our customers and partners. Join us for the following sessions: Domino Volt App Integration Strategies: Learn about integration techniques and options within Domino Volt. August 12, 2 pm ET. Register now.     Domino Volt Deployment Topologies: Learn about different deployment options to fit your needs. August 27, 2 pm ET. Register now. DOMINO VOLT FEATURES  Q: What additional resources are needed on a Domino server to handle Domino Volt?  A: Domino Volt requires Domino V11.0.1 or greater. That’s is all!  Q: If an app is built in Domino Volt, can it be modified in Domino Designer?  A: You could add additional views, agents, or other elements as long as you do not change or delete things that Domino Volt created.  Q: Where do you upload the PDF for fill-in?  A: In settings, there is a File section where you can load PDFs as well as images, CSS, JS, etc. as needed in the app  Q: Can a signature from a Domino Volt form be printed in PDF? Or even pictures from your smartphone?  A: The PDF fill capability in Domino Volt does not support adding an image or picture to a PDF.  Q: Can you deploy your...
