5250 host connection to client viewer

This section describes the IBM® Content Manager OnDemand 5250 Host Connection, which allows an IBM i application to send information to the OnDemand Client for viewing. The intent is to provide a mechanism by which a 5250 line-of-business application can use the OnDemand Client to display documents from IBM Content Manager OnDemand. This is done with little or no interaction between the user and the OnDemand Client.

This function is comprised of two parts:
  • The Find Key (FNDKEYOND) command, which the line-of-business application will invoke. The FNDKEYOND command is used to retrieve documents stored in Content Manager OnDemand. The output of the FNDKEYOND command will be displayed by using the OnDemand client.
  • A companion program that resides on the workstation, which is the interface between the FNDKEYOND command and the OnDemand Client.
