Re: WDHT Training

Jim,

From my unofficial view of WDHT (HATS) vs. WebFacing. HATS would be more

beneficial to learn over WebFacing. The primary difference between the
two is that to WebFace you MUST have DDS Source to convert. With HATS
all 5250 screens are converted without the need of DDS Source. So for
example all the System i utility screens can be displayed without having
to first run the DDS Source thru the WebFacing. Example WRKSPLF,
WRKACTJOB, Etc.
HATS uses basic rules to apply to all screens for conversion and you can
further drill into specific screens for further modification. Please
note this is my interpretation of the products and I have less than a
month with HATS and a bit over a year with WebFacing. I would also
recommend trying both WebFacing and HATS to see the difference yourself.

Pete,
I'm still trying to understand the WDHT product. Would I be correct in 
calling it a mergeof
Webfacing & HATS, and therefore one needs to learn each of those
products?
I have heard the WDHT did not include 100% of the current HATS
capabilities, 
but have
not yet seen a list of what features (if any) not in WDHT.

Larry,

We are using the HATS components of WDHT and have been pretty

frustrated

by the lack of good, comprehensive documentation and training,
particularly on V6.  However, I have been keeping track of links and
other sources of information for HATS : (search the IBM web site as

best

you can)  There is at least one Redbook

http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/hatshelp/v50/index.jsp?topic=/c
om.ibm.hats.doc/doc/gsintro.htm

The Developerworks web site has a few online courses that require
registration:

https://www6.software.ibm.com/developerworks/education/websphere/wbt/sw7
25/htmls/SW725/frameset.html

http://www-306.ibm.com/software/webservers/hats/library.html (main web

site)
http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/hatshelp/v60/index.jsp

Most of what you will find applies to V4 and V5.  Precious little on
V6.  I think their marketing outran their services offerings.  IBM
education says that there are instructor led courses but I haven't

found

any that are scheduled.  If you follow this link:

http://www-128.ibm.com/developerworks/websphere/education/enablement/cur
riculum/sw913.html#sched

you'll eventually get to a page that says "This course is not
scheduled"  It hasn't been.  For 6 months.....

Not sure if HATS was what you are after.  But if that is so, you'll be
on your own.  I'll help you if you post questions here, as far as I am
able.  Also, I did corral the HATS guys at Common and they were VERY
helpful.  Still corresponding by e-mail.

This is cool stuff and if you are a struts/.jsp programmer, it is VERY
cool stuff because you can extend and create your own transformation
controls and widgets.  However, IBM has left us a bit high and dry

with

no good resources to make this less painful.

We have purchased WDHT and after the half day demonstration I need to
create and modify our real world production applications. I am having
difficulties remembering all that was shown to us and really need

some

basic training as how to modify screens, text, macros, etc. Any
recommendations for WEB based training or classes available in the
Orlando area?

Thanks in Advance
