Configuration

ZIEWeb-Client runs on an application server and provides the end users with a web-based interface to access the pre-configured ZIEWeb sessions and connect to the host systems. It can fetch 3270/5250 display session configurations from both HTML-based model, combined-based model, and configuration server-based model pages of Z and I Emulator for Web (ZIEWeb).

The following figure shows how a typical ZIEWeb-Client setup works:

• User opens a HTML5 compatible web browser and navigates to ZIEWeb-Client application
  Typically http(s):///zieweb/
• ZIEWeb-Client dashboard appears based on the html page requested by the user.
• In case of HTML-based and combined-based model pages, session configurations are retrieved from ZIEWeb publish directory and listed.
• If it’s a configuration-based model page, a login screen is presented using which an ZIEWeb user can login to fetch the session configurations.
• User clicks on a session icon to connect to the host system.
• ZIEWeb-Client processes the request and renders the terminal screen on the web browser.
• User interacts with the host using the terminal screen.
