1 Software Announcement January 31, 2006 IBM WebFacing Deployment Tool for WebSphere V6.0.1 with HATS technology delivers an integrated modernization solution for the IBM System i5 marketplace Overview IBM WebFacing Deployment Tool with HATS technology (WDHT) is a runtime enabler allowing the WebFacing Tool and Host Access Transformation Services (HATS) technologies to work together in an integrated fashion. Both WebFacing Tool and HATS Toolkit customers can work seamlessly with their existing projects, while taking advantage of the new capabilities when combined with i5/os V5R4. New capability Web-enabled applications created with the WebFacing Tool in WebSphere Client for iseries (WDSC) cannot access system screens or non-webfaced 5250 applications without a substantial amount of integration effort. WDHT addresses these interoperability issues. If a WebFaced application encounters system screens or non-webfaced 5250 applications, then the on-the-fly transformation capabilities, included with HATS today, is leveraged to deliver the system screens or non-webfaced 5250 application in a browser interface. This HATS capability is provided through the WebFacing Tool extensions. The system screens or non-webfaced 5250 applications inherit the same browser style as the WebFaced application. WebFaced applications that leverage the capabilities of WDHT deliver out-of-the-box integration with system screens and non-webfaced 5250 applications. The IBM WebFacing Tool and the HATS Toolkit are included with WDSC and WebSphere Development Studio Client Advanced Edition for iseries (WDSC AE). WebFacing Tool customers who do not take advantage of the new capabilities can continue to create and deploy applications from the WebFacing Tool. However, customers who take advantage of the new WebFacing Tool extensions will find that deployment for the new functions is limited to two user connections for testing purpose only. To enable the new functions for deployment to production, customers must purchase WDHT. Web-enabled applications created using the HATS Toolkit are limited to two user connections for testing purpose only. WDHT is required for deployment to production of HATS applications. The introduction of WDHT makes HATS more affordable by eliminating the requirement for Online Transaction Processing (OLTP) capacity for HATS applications working through the WebFacing server. Without the OLTP requirement for deploying a HATS application to i5/os starting with V5R4, the overall cost of HATS solutions is significantly reduced. HATS applications can be deployed to i5/os Standard Edition. Key prerequisites Refer to the Hardware requirements and Software requirements sections. At a glance As of i5/os V5R4, this new offering delivers: Deployment enablement for the following new IBM WebFacing Tool and Host Access Transformation Services (HATS) functions: Out-of-the-box integration of WebFaced and non-webfaced applications in a browser Ability for HATS to Web-enable 5250 applications without requiring Online Transaction Processing (OLTP) capacity on i5/os New and attractive deployment-based pricing options For ordering, contact: Your IBM representative, an IBM Business ner, or the Americas Call Centers at 800-IBM-CALL Reference: YE001 Planned availability dates March 3, 2006: Electronic software delivery March 10, 2006: Media and documentation This announcement is provided for your information only.

2 Description The introduction of IBM WebFacing Deployment Tool with HATS technology (WDHT) brings together IBM s premier refacing technologies. WDHT gives you the flexibility to use both the WebFacing Tool and Host Access Transformation Services (HATS) technologies to achieve your refacing goals. You will still find the familiar WebFacing Tool and HATS Toolkit included in WebSphere Client for iseries (WDSC) and WebSphere Client Advanced Edition for iseries (WDSC AE). WDHT acts as a runtime enablement key for applications created with these tools. WebFacing Tool technology IBM WebFacing Tool quickly, easily, and cost effectively generates Web interfaces to 5250 applications. Generates a new, fully functional Web user interface based on Data Description Specification (DDS) source code Comprehensive DDS keyword support Web-enabled response times comparable to green-screen applications HATS technology HATS includes a default transformation engine that quickly and easily generates a dynamic Web interface from a 5250 datastream. The resulting Web interface can also be customized with the HATS Toolkit. Browser interface to host applications Navigation of host applications improves and generates portal interfaces No access to source code is required Using WebFacing Tool and HATS technologies together By leveraging the WebFacing Tool extension in WDSC V6.0.1, you can get on-the-fly conversion of 5250 applications or system screens in WebFaced applications. Online Transaction Processing (OLTP) is not required for HATS applications starting with i5/os V5R4. The WebFacing Tool in WDSC and WDSC AE continues to offer the same capability as in previous releases. To leverage the new WebFacing Tool extensions, you need to purchase WDHT for deployment to production. The HATS Toolkit included with WDSC and WDSC AE continues to function as previous releases. HATS applications require WDHT to deploy to production. Refer to Software Announcement , dated February 8, 2005, for more detailed HATS information. For a more detailed comparison of the IBM WebFacing Tool and HATS, visit /docview.wss?uid=swg Section 508 of the U.S. Rehabilitation Act IBM WebFacing Deployment Tool for WDS iseries is capable as of March 3, 2006, when used in accordance with IBM s associated documentation, of satisfying the applicable requirements of Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act, provided that any assistive technology used with the product properly interoperates with it. A U.S. Section 508 Voluntary Product Accessibility Template (VPAT) can be requested via IBM s Web site /product_accessibility/index.html Product positioning Modernization tools There are a number of modernization tools available in the System i5 marketplace to Web-enable 5250 applications. Most of these tools provide source-based and 5250 datastream conversion capabilities. The WebFacing Tool for source-based conversion and HATS for 5250 datastream conversion have been shipped in the last two releases of WDSC and WDSC AE. Both tools have very good Web-enabling capabilities but they did not work together. Customers were forced to choose between two good modernization solutions and this delayed their modernization efforts. With the introduction of the WDHT, customers can leverage the capabilities of the WebFacing Tool and HATS Toolkit in one integrated modernized solution. The elimination of OLTP requirements for HATS and the new pricing options for WDHT make this new offering much more cost effective. Customers have the source-based conversion capabilities of WebFacing and the on-the-fly datastream conversion capabilities of HATS in one attractively priced IBM offering. Planning statement In this release, the WDHT is required for deployment of Web-enabled applications created using either the HATS Toolkit or the WebFacing Tool extensions for interoperability with non-webfaced 5250 applications. Any Web applications created using the basic functions of the WebFacing Tool do not require WDHT for deployment. In future releases of the WebFacing Tool, all deployments will require WDHT. Web-enabled applications created or updated using any subsequent release of either HATS or the WebFacing Tool in WDSC or WDSC AE will require the corresponding release of WDHT for deployment.
