webMethods JIS
Modernize large apps in less time.
Capabilities
Web Enablement of Large Core Systems
Give mainframe apps a modern look and feel
Modernize large green-screen applications faster and enforce consistent user interface (UI) rules across applications by using webMethods JIS (formerly known as Jacada® Interface Server).
Intelligent integrated knowledgebase
The integrated knowledgebase is a patented pattern recognition and presentation generator. It acts as a global repository for defining and managing interface standards across all your interface types and application architectures.
You’ll find it extremely easy to enforce standards and ensure UI consistency. That’s because every interface you build automatically inherits JIS knowledgebase definitions.
Additionally, the knowledgebase remembers every move it makes. That means you can change your mind about styles, background colors, whatever, and the knowledgebase will inform you of what interfaces will be affected and then will make the change for you.
Design steps, for example, can be recalled automatically, speeding up design changes. You can apply these changes through the knowledgebase across all application modules.
Scalable, reliable & secure platform
webMethods JIS is a specialized application server designed for the demanding requirements of high-transaction applications. You can deploy it on Windows, AS/400 and UNIX servers. Scale your business transactions across whatever server configuration gives you the best cost/performance. Count on support for dynamic load balancing, even across multiple server types.
Graphical designer
Customize terminal screens in a graphical way.
Open, extensible client interface
With webMethods JIS, you can extend and integrate the generated client interface using standard JavaScript.
Automated conversion
With webMethods JIS, you can import standard maps, such as CICS/BMS, IMS/MFS and iSeries/DDS, that include screen data, such as static data and dynamic fields. This saves you from manually having to identify screens and also simplifies updates when changes are made in the host.
When importing application maps, webMethods JIS automatically creates a screen from each map, including identifiers based on static data and fields based on dynamic data. This minimizes errors that may occur when manually creating screens, one by one.
By importing host screen definition source files, webMethods JIS provides a complete and rapid transformation of existing interface logic.
Generation of Java source code
webMethods JIS automatically generates Java source code, so you can easily extend its out-of-the-box capabilities.
XML-based HTML generation
webMethods JIS delivers HTML by first rendering the interface as standard XML. This flexible infrastructure enables you to deliver interfaces to virtually any user on any device.
Customizable “on-the-fly” XHTML generation
Using a graphical user interface, you can generate a fully customizable ultra-thin XHTML interface for your legacy applications in just days.
