TPS®/
TN3270 Client ( JAVA ) is
a full-featured, standards compliant TN3270E terminal (
LU2 ) and printer emulator ( LU1 / LU3 ). When connected
over a TCP/IP link to a corresponding TN3270 Server, it
allows a system to emulate 3270 devices and participate
in an SNA network with GUI support.
Supported on a variety of different Java Virtual Machines,
TPS®/ TN3270 Client ( JAVA ) enables downstream systems access to legacy applications or data on IBM® mainframes
( i.e., TSO™, CICS™, VM™, etc. ) or other hosts using TN3270 Server.
TPS®/ 3270 Client ( JAVA ) can function on
many types of terminals and printers which eliminates
the need for purchasing any new hardware. It is also designed
to allow 3270 print jobs to be directed to any standard printer
accessible from the Java Virtual Machine.
Print data can also be stored in pre-specified directories for later use.
TPS®/ TN3270 Client ( JAVA ) provides an API,
Java High Level Language Application Programming Interface
( JHLLAPI ), where users can interface their applications to
control mainframe applications or even automate file transfers.
This API provides basic functions, plus others, to allow complete
control without user intervention.
Do you need a TN3270 Server?
TPS® Systems provides a full-featured TN3270 Server
( TCP/IP ) . If your connection to your mainframe is SNA and you already
have TN3270 Clients or if you want to develop 3270 applications, check
out TPS®/ TN3270
Server and TPS®/ SNA.
HIGHLIGHTS
- Standards compliant ( RFC 1647 ) TN3270E protocol emulation
for terminals ( LU2 ) and printers ( LU1 and LU3 )
- JHLLAPI (
Java High Level Language Programming Interface ) support
allows applications to control mainframe applications or
even automate file transfers. Provides screen scraping capabilities
- Supports SSL ( Secure Socket Layer ) encryption
- Trace facility simplifies problem
determination
- Very easy installation and configuration
- From TPS® Systems — with
25+ year tradition of excellence in providing network software
and support for large global enterprises
PRODUCT POSITIONING
TPS®/ TN3270 Client ( JAVA ) is an ideal solution
for either:
- Accessing 3270 SNA host / mainframe applications
- Accessing 3270 host applications from a Java system over
a TCP/IP connection
- Minimizing or eliminating local SNA connections to the mainframe
while maximizing network performance
- Screen scraping
- Screen and data reformatting
- Internet connectivity
- Data communications needs to be encrypted with SSL
FEATURES
3270 Terminal Support ( LU2 )
- 3277 Model 1 ( 24x80 )
- 3278 Models 2 ( 24x80 ), 3 ( 32x80 ), 4 ( 43x80 )
- 3279 Color Models 2 ( 24x80 ), 3 ( 32x80 ), 4 ( 43x80
), 5 ( 27x132 )

and LU3 )
- 3286 Model 1 and 2 ( up to 102x255 )
- 3287 Model 1 and 2 ( up to
102x255 )
Session Support
- Multiple 3270 sessions
per system
Terminal and Printer Support
- Terminal support using Java GUI
- Print screen
support
Local Session Support
TPS®/ TN3270 Client ( Java ) software provides local
keystroke echoing. This feature maximizes overall performance
by maintaining control of the session locally rather than sending
each keystroke through the network. When the user requires a
response from the host application, the entire screen is sent
and returned as one transmission.
Secure Socket Layer ( SSL ) Support
TPS®/ TN3270 Client ( Java ) can create a secure
SSL connection to a SSL enabled TN3270 Server, over which data
can be sent securely.
Protocol Support
TPS®/ TN3270 Client (JAVA ) supports the standard TN3270E
protocol for terminals ( LU2 ) and printers ( LU1 and LU3 ).
TN3270E requires a TCP/IP connection to another system running
a standard TN3270 Server which supports the Telnet 3270 protocol.
API Support
TPS®/ TN3270 Client ( JAVA ) also has an Java High
Level Language Application Programming Interface ( JHLLAPI ).
This allows users to create their own applications to control
mainframe applications or even automate file transfers. The API
has all the basic functions, plus others, to allow complete control
without user intervention.
.
Additional Features
- Extended data stream support including
color, character attributes, and extended highlighting
- Light pen emulation
