5250 CPW for IBM i logical partitions

5250 commercial processing workload (5250 CPW) is the capacity to perform 5250 online transaction processing (5250 OLTP) tasks on IBM® i logical partitions.

A 5250 OLTP task is a task that uses the 5250 data stream. Examples of 5250 OLTP tasks include the following:

• Any form of 5250 emulation, including Hardware Management Console (HMC) 5250, IBM Host On-Demand, IBM Personal Communications, and the 5250 emulation in the IBM i Access for Windows, Web, and Linux products
• 5250 Telnet or 5250 Display Station Pass-Through (DSPT) workstations
• Screen scrapers
• Interactive system monitors

You can use the IBM WebFacing tool to convert your 5250 OLTP applications into web-based applications that no longer need to use the 5250 data stream.
