BOSaNOVA Web is a Java-based solution that provides AS/400 to desktop TN5250e GUI emulation and printing facilities

• Provides AS/400 on-the-fly GUI display emulation including macros, keyboard mapping, mouse support, color mapping and toolbar customization.
• The server installs on an AS/400 (directly from the CD drive, if desired) or on a Windows NT/2000/XP PC. The client is deployed automatically to all Internet or network attached workstations.
• Affords quick and extremely user-friendly system configuration, monitoring and control.
• Supports full SCS Windows printing via a plug-in that is installed and initiated via the browser.
• Employs the SSL protocol with both server and client digital certificates authentication to ensure secure and confidential bi-directional communication between the server and clients.
• Enables display of a graphic file found on the server whose name matches a string selected from the display session screen.
• Supports login to Jadvantage server using the host sign-on services; the display session automatically generates a sign-on bypass to the host.
• Includes a “thin” Web server that runs on the Jadvantage server, eliminating the need for an additional Web server.

BOSaNOVA Web is installed on a corporate server enabling centralized management and maintenance. Java applets are downloaded to the workstation's browser the first time BOSaNOVA Web is accessed and automatically updated each time the user connects to the host. BOSaNOVA Web particularly benefits as AS/400 organization that:

• has a TCP/IP based infrastructure, and/or
• uses the AS/400 server for e-Commerce application, and/or
• has remote users or networks connected to the AS/400 via Internet or an extranet

BOSaNOVA Web includes built-in support for the SSL protocol that allows bi-directional secure connections between the server and the client. The SSL protocol establishes encrypted communication links based on certificates containing the company's identification information. The client digital certificates are supported as well. The BOSaNOVA Web Certificate Manager facilitates management of multiple server certificates, both self-signed and signed by a third party Certificate Authority, VeriSign or Thawte. In addition, BOSaNOVA Web's security system includes a server-based user ID and password.

The Session Monitor can display a report describing the session currently supported by active server

• Print preview
• Support for any Windows driver
• Customized drivers for increased printing performance and fine-tuning of complicated printouts

BOSaNOVA Web supports native AS/400 SQL data transfer

All graphic file types supported by the workstation's browser are supported.

The Show Picture function is especially convenient for catalog and production applications.

This sample employee identification application demonstrates how BOSaNOVA Webs built-in picture viewer can be used to clarify existing programs. An images directory, containing employee photos with file names matching the employees' social security numbers, has been uploaded to the server and is available to any client machine with access privileges to the display session.
