All:

In an effort to create browser-access to our applications with minimal changes to any CICS applications, I am searching for a product. The last one did not work out. I am aware of zWebHost & Entrée, so they need not be suggested. The product must be one which does NOT run on a server, but only on z/VSE (or z/VM).

Any suggestions?

Thanks, in advance.

Dovid,

We just put this into production, we use Rocket Software's Legasuite Web product. We like it, a bit of a learning curve and a lot of give and take on design (okay, the programmers gave and I took).... It has auto input of BMS, etc. We are a Software AG Natural shop (under zVSE 6.1) and it works well for us.. We are a z13s with 2 IFLs, so the Web Engine runs under SUSE on a IFL (actually we run a production and test machine).

Let me know any questions, we look at several.

Mike:

No z/Linux here. Will it run ENTIRELY on z/VSE (or z/VM)?

David,

GT Software’s Ivory Service Architect runs natively on z/VSE and creates APIs that can be consumed without ANY changes to your backend CICS application. Point and click technology and a wizard that creates APIs in minutes. If you would like more information let me know.

No, but it will run on Windows...... We looked at these kind of products for over 2 years, never found a native VSE solution, most would do Windows or Linux..... X86 (Windows/Linux) or IFL (Linux)...... Mike

Have you looked at CICS Web Support. It requires no changes to your CICS applications and provides browser access to your CICS applications. Not fancy, but part of CICS so no charge. https://www-03.ibm.com/systems/z/os/zvse/solutions/cicsaccess.html

David,

IBM's CICS TS Web Services and the 3270 Bridge come to mind.

Also, Data21's IPServer.
