01 Nov 2006 This tutorial explains how to use IBM® WebSphere® Host Access Transformation Services (HATS) to easily provide streamlined access to portions of a "green screen" application for new end-users, such as distributors, dealers, or Internet users.
Objectives - Create a HATS project, a signon macro, and a screen transformation for a
zSeries application.
- Learn to use HATS to Web-enable host applications.
Prerequisites
This tutorial is a step-by-step guide for HATS developers who need to provide Web access to select portions of a zSeries® terminal application. You need to be familiar with any one of the Rational® Software Development Platforms that HATS supports, and have some knowledge of zSeries terminal applications and IBM® WebSphere® Application Server.
System requirements
To perform the detailed steps in the following sections, you need to install a Microsoft® Windows® system with HATS version 6.0 (or later) toolkit on IBM Rational® Application Developer. To interact with the sample terminal application used in this tutorial, Internet connectivity is also needed. For more information on HATS prerequisites and supported HATS Toolkit and runtime environments, see WebSphere HATS Detailed System Requirements.
Duration
This tutorial takes about two hours to complete.

Summary
WebSphere Host Access Transformation Services delivers tools to help quickly build integrated, easy to use, streamlined Web applications from existing "green screen" applications without having to change any code in the existing applications. This capability allows creation of a more convenient and responsive experience for a wide variety of users, including distributors and dealers. Because HATS creates a standard Web application, the only client software necessary for accessing the application is a Web browser. This tutorial explains how to use HATS to easily provide streamlined access to portions of a "green screen" application for new end-users, such as distributors, dealers, or Internet users.
