254 iSeries Access for Web V5R2 and WebSphere Host Publisher V4.0

 Native Windows print support: Windows users can print using the standard printer

drivers. Users can use their default Windows printers without additional configuration, and

they can change properties without closing their host printer sessions.

 Integrated Windows domain logon: If this function is enabled, users are not required to

log on to the Host On-Demand server to access their configuration data. Host On-Demand

retrieves the Windows domain user ID, which becomes the Host On-Demand user name.

If a user is already defined on the server, the configuration data for that user is accessed.

Otherwise, new users are automatically created with group default settings.

 Customizable toolbar: Administrators and users can customize the toolbar buttons used

for Host On-Demand sessions. Users can add and edit toolbar buttons to launch an

applet, run an application, go to a URL, run a macro, or perform a menu function. After

customizing the toolbar, settings are saved for future sessions.

 Cached client support across the Internet: Host On-Demand keeps the cached

components at a consistent level and prevents users from installing different and

potentially conflicting versions of components from different servers. Clients can

communicate with servers running different levels of Host On-Demand.

 Support for Java 2-enabled browsers: Clients are supported on Java 2-enabled Web

browsers, such as Netscape 6.x and Mozilla. The Java 2 plug-in with Netscape 4.x and

Microsoft Internet Explorer is also supported.

 JVM 1.3 support on server: Host On-Demand support JVM 1.3 on the server

 Problem determination enhancements

8.2.3 IBM Screen Customizer Version 2.0.60

IBM Screen Customizer V2.0.60 is the component of Host Access Client Package V2 that

provides the ability to present host screens as a graphical user interface when used with Host

On-Demand. To install Screen Customizer Version 2.0.60, IBM WebSphere Host On-Demand

Version 6.0 must already be installed.

IBM Screen Customizer V2.0.60 is deployed as an applet to be used with the Host

On-Demand client. Once enabled in the session configuration parameters, Screen

Customizer displays all screens in a graphical fashion. It interprets the host data stream and

then provides either a default graphical representation of the host screen or a customized

graphical representation of the host screen that was created by means of the Screen

Customizer Studio.

In Screen Customizer, applications are captured screen by screen and then customized to

become graphical user interfaces. The Screen Customizer Administrator examines every

screen it encounters and collects the number, length, and relative position of fields on the

screen and stores this information, along with the screen ID assigned by the administrator, in

a database. This screen ID is referred to as a

screen map.

At runtime, Screen Customizer again collects the screen information and uses it to search the

database to determine if the screen has been customized. If a match is found, the screen ID

is extracted from the database and is used to request the associated screen map from the

Web server. The Web server returns the screen map, which Screen Customizer uses to build

and display the customized screen in place of the default character-based user interface

screen. If a screen ID is not found, the default graphical representation is shown.
