iSeries Access for Web: a new Browser-Based Alternative!

Presented by Carole Miner, IBM

Meeting will be held on December 15, 2004.

The iSeries Access Family now includes a browser-based solution called 'iSeries Access for Web'.  If you are looking for an easy-to-use product that needs no desktop install or configuration, yet enables users to work with all their iSeries resources, then iSeries Access for Web is that solution! 

Come to this session to learn how this client can simplify your PC network administration while at the same time offering end user functions customers have come to expect with Client Access products.  By the end of this session, attendees will be able to see how 5250 emulation, database and IFS access can be used from a browser, as well as work with printers and print jobs, etc on the server.  Attendees will also see how an administrator can set up unique 'front pages' for different groups of users to enter the iSeries giving complete control over what capabilities are provided to a connecting user.  For example, you can provide the ability to click on links and start a specific 5250 application, or print invoices from the spool file, or run a predefined database request.  You will also learn about all the new capabilities Access for web in delivering in 2004.

Enough of the requirements for all of this will be discussed so that you can "take it home and use it".

A "live" demo may be included (if we can get an Internet connection from the Fox Hollow).
