I have a LAMP (PHP) web app which need to interface with programs on an IBM 3270 mainframe (via Microsoft SNA Server). One solution I'm looking at is screen-scraping via 3270. (I'm integrating the present with the past!) Many years ago, I wrote C code which used HLLAPI as the basis for such a task. Is HLLAPI still the best way to ap...
I tagged this question "impossible" because after a lot of googling, i have not find any trace\reference to a possible answer. I'm asking if there is some way\dirtytrick (possibly cheap) to access Microsoft Sql Server from z/OS mainframe (COBOL programs) and have the result in 3270 terminal emulation; i know that 3270 is a pretty old sys...
I've got a big problem with IBM HACL for accessing a server which speaks 3270 protocol. The library keeps crashing, and our JNI wrapper is actually a bug-fixing layer for the poorly-implemented and poorly-documented library (and I suspect we have introduced new bugs with it too). Moreover, in our company, everybody knows Java, and could ...
I was wondering if anyone had experience retrieving data with the 3270 protocol. My understanding so far is: Connection I need to connect to an SNA server using telnet, issue a command and then some data will be returned. I'm not sure how this connection is made since I've read that a standard telnet connection won't work. I've also re...
To give a bit of context to my problem, we have a 3270 Telnet Emulator (WinVV) that connects to an HIS server that then connects to an SNA Server and eventually to an IBM mainframe. I now want to write an app that automates data retrieval and have chosen (not that there's much choice) to use the Jagacy library. Before I start coding I wa...
I'm writing a Java screen-scraping application for a 3270 mainframe and rather than scroll through page after page of 80x24 chars I'd like to output all pages to a printer and then capture and parse the printer output. The 3270 client has a print option, so I just need to virtualise a printer device and then somehow capture the output....
Hi All In my application i want to listen for any RUMBA/3270 (It is a 3270 emulator) screen update/event which i can capture and get the text/byte stream coming from mainframe. Once there i can use that stream for data mining. In the RUMBA data-sheet they have mentioned that RUMBA 3270 emulator could be extended either by using EHLLAPI...
