<h2>Distributed 5250 Emulation Model</h2>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>The Virtual Terminal Client/Server Model example shows a model for a
|
||
|
|
distributed systems environment between a work station and an
|
||
|
|
iSeries. The client program resides on the work station, while the server
|
||
|
|
program resides on the iSeries<SUP>(TM)</SUP>. This model is similar to the way the iSeries
|
||
|
|
supports an iSeries Access work station function.</p>
|
||

Example</a></strong></p>

|
<p align="center"><img src="RBAFX603.gif" alt="Virtual Terminal Client/Server Model Example"></p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>The client program running on the work station shown in the example
|
||
|
|
does the following:</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<ul>
|
||
|
|
<li>Accepts data from the server program and displays the data on the work station
|
||
|
|
display</li>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<li>Accepts data from the work station keyboard</li>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<li>Converts the data from the format required by the work station display and keyboard
|
||
|
|
to the format required by the server program (5250 data stream)</li>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<li>Sends the data to the server program on the iSeries</li>
|
||
|
|
</ul>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>The link between the client program and server program uses DOS and i5/OS<SUP>(TM)</SUP>
|
||
|
|
communications support. This may be LU 6.2, TCP/IP, or some other
|
||
|
|
communications protocol.</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>You can write a server application program in any iSeries-supported
|
||
|
|
high-level language (HLL), such as the ILE C programming language. The server
|
||
|
|
program provides work station support for the system acting as the server. The
|
||
|
|
virtual terminal APIs allow a server program to read and write virtual terminal
|
||
|
|
data. Virtual terminal data is always in a 5250 data stream format. See the
|
||
|
|
<cite>IBM 5494 Functions Reference</cite> book, SC30-3533, for more information
|
||
|
|
on 5250 data streams. This book can be viewed online through the <a href=

|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>The virtual terminal APIs provide an interface between the server program
|
||
|
|
and the virtual terminal supported by the i5/OS licensed program. The virtual
|
||
|
|
terminal represents the i5/OS link between the server program and the iSeries
|
||
|
|
application and is managed entirely by the i5/OS licensed program.</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>The iSeries application is a licensed program or a user-written application
|
||
|
|
that performs a standard data transfer to a work station. This application can
|
||
|
|
be written in any iSeries-supported HLL.</p>
