FeaturesNon-invasive SolutionPresto provides instant 5250 screen enhancement technology. Developers can deploy 5250 applications on the web without changing any underlying RPG, COBOL or DDS source code or recompile anything to enhance the look and functionality of your applications. You don’t even need the display file source and your existing programs are not affected in any way. Runs Straight Out of the BoxPresto runs straight out of the box. In less than an hour you can install Presto, start the preconfigured Apache web server instance, enter your IP address and you're up and running. Your 5250 screens will dynamically be presented as web pages with zero 5250 OLTP. Global Options make it Possible to Instantly Enhance All Your ScreensSet global options in Presto to instantly enhance all your 5250 screens. You can select a skin (graphics and fonts using CSS and HTML) or create your own to reflect your organization’s look and feel. Another option is to choose to have function keys appear as links or buttons which can also be executed from your keyboard. Customize and Enhance Any Screen with Presto’s IDEPresto includes a Windows based IDE that gives you full control and access to the client side code to integrate new UI elements, AJAX, and SOA / web services functionality to go as far as you want to go. There is no need to compile anything, once your changes are saved, the screen will immediately be enhanced.
Enterprise-ready solutionPresto supports ‘environments’ and multi-languages which are important for any enterprise solution and especially important for ISVs (Independent Software Vendors) who want to web enable their existing 5250 solutions. Presto environments give you the ability to have independent versions of the same web enabled apps at the same time. Presto environments are a set of global settings for a group of programs / screens on your system providing you with test / production environments or environ- ments for each of your clients. ISVs can make the same application have a customized look for each client by having a separate environment for each client. Application Framework included with full featured portalPresto optionally includes BCD’s Free* Nexus Portal (* It’s license free with paid annual maintenance). Nexus is a full featured portal that can be used to front end your Presto web enabled applications and other applications. Presto web enabled apps embed directly into the portal which provides secured single point access to enterprise information and includes a web menuing system that gives your Presto applications a real web navigation system. The portal also includes value added portlets such as a System i spool file viewer with PDF creation feature, Executive Dashboards, Calendars, Enterprise Content Management (ECM) and Document Management. While Nexus offers more functionality, you may also host Presto apps within Outlook® or Google™ gadgets. Other Key Features:
