Netra j 2.0 Administrator's Guide

OpenVista

OpenVista software is a cross-platform integrated development environment (IDE) for creating custom Java applets for 3270 and 5250 clients.

OpenVista enables the design, development, and deployment of applications for simplified enterprise information access and for legacy host-based data and application publishing on the Web. OpenVista enables on-the-fly development of 3270 and 5250 front-end Java applets, without any prior Java knowledge or programming experience. OpenVista's unique visual metaphor enables developers to create simplified user screens, environments, or to automate processes normally associated with multiple mainframe views such as logging on, finding, accessing, manipulating, and viewing information located within traditional legacy data applications and repositories.
