| CPG5 - Application Development for the Net |
| CPG5 | is a programming tool for mainframe applications, allowing them to be accessed via any browser (intranet / extranet / Internet). | | | | CPG5 | programs run on an S/390 processor and can utilize all the presentation features offered by browsers today. All the processing remains on the mainframe, so the workstation always has access to current host data. | | | | CPG5 | uses the advantages of the S/390 (availability, data integrity, data security, scalability, ...) and adds the presentation strengths of GUI-based systems via use of the browser. | | | | CPG5 | applications are easy to create. All you need to develop such client/server applications are mainframe programming skills and a minimal knowledge of the PC GUI for the design of HTML pages. | | | | CPG5 | applications are fast to create. Browser-based applications are event-driven, so they need much less code than today‘s programs and lead to more "friendly" user interface. | | | | | CPG5 | applications use Internet technology. They extend the reach of host applications to modern user interfaces and all the possibilities they offer. CPG5 offers a direct route from S/390 into the world of the Net – not just the Internet but also to an intranet or an extranet. | | | | CPG5 | retains the capability to deploy legacy-style systems using older 3270 interfaces. These can co-exist with browser-based systems. You can even create hybrid applications. | | | | CPG5 | mainframe applications are able to access other database systems on other servers, including the capability to use these sources in 3270 applications. | | | | CPG5 | consists of three components:
- interactive host language (Just in Time Compiler)
- page editor and HTML generator for the browser
- fast file transfer, which provides individually programmable logic
and can be started from CICS and batch applications. | | | |
