IBM WebSphere Host On-Demand: Version 5 Enhancements

The industry's premier Java-based emulator, IBM WebSphere Host On-Demand V5, has been enhanced to provide many new usability and manageability features. Enhancements in the client include improved client customization support for color and keyboard mappings as well as improved navigation. Host printing from Windows is made easier, while VT print passthrough is provided. AS/400 improvements abound, including support for ENPTUI, Toolbox Model 3 and AS/400 Proxy. The VT use is not forgotten. Included are VT100/200 enhancements, a VT history window and support for greater than 24 lines. Security is enhanced by providing an express logon capability using digital certificates.

Major improvements in the manageability and deployment of IBM WebSphere Host On-Demand V5 are included in this release. Included is a new configurable smart client, a Deployment Wizard for creating and managing customized Web pages, the ability to disable unnecessary functions, native platform authentication, and the componentization of the clients that will allow for updating of individual functions instead of the entire product.
