Re: [IBMiOSS] [EXTERNAL] Re: Ports and routes needed to replace very large numbers of green screens

Hi John,

You may be right. Like Richard said before, I may be overthinking this.

I might feel more comfortable if someone would explain the part where "the server will handle it." Maybe it will. But I would feel a lot more comfortable knowing how that works-at least at the 10,000 foot view.

Thanks,

I guess maybe I should ask the question more broadly. We have many hundreds (at least) of interactive COBOL programs. Many of these interactive COBOL programs have multiple green screens associated with them. Is there a way to replace all of these green screens with web pages and not create a need for multiple web servers (ports) and/or a lot of routes within those web servers?

Richard already answered this. To paraphrase, he said "don't worry -
just use one port, and the server will handle it".

I'm not an expert, but as far as I can tell, this is how everyone does
it. And until you asked, I had never heard of anyone (on any platform,
using any Web framework) expressing any concern over too many ports or
too many routes.

Please understand I am not saying your concern is unjustified. It
might be justified, especially if your situation is somehow extremely
unusual. But I don't think it is.
