RE: Web-based order entry -- SYSTEM21

It really depends upon whether you are looking for something for customers
or employees.  

Assuming you consider JBA Order Entry satisfactory, for employee order entry
via the web you should consider using Microsoft Termserver or Citrix.  You
get remote access via web browser and you are only supporting one
application (standard JBA).  We use this quite a bit to give employees
access from home.

For customer web order entry, there are plenty of vendors selling their
packages.  We purchased JBA's solution (the old one based upon MS IIS not
WebSphere), but ended up developing our own solution including sales tax,
freight cost calculations, credit card validation, etc.  We have done both a
real-time interface into JBA and a batch interface.

Neil

Are you looking for a real time update, or batch process

If you want a real time solution, where orders are entered direct into
system 21 across the web then

A few years back I had dealings with a company called Seagull software
    They have a product called JWALK that creates bespoke graphical front
end to AS400 applications which are accessed via a web browser, this can be
across the web and can also be used inhouse.

    Harbinger used JWALK to create the front end for TLE/400, the EDI
package


If you want a batch update,

Then I would use the Application Interface, and populate the relevant AIP
files, as used by EDI


Hope this helps
