Re: Webfacing in other browsers?

["Alfredo Delgado" <adelgado@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Good morning, Jan. Web Facing is a misnomer. It's really IE Facing. However,
IBM i Access for Web does work with web browsers. Would that meet your
client's needs?

I collected this information from a previous evaluation:

Homepage
http://www-03.ibm.com/systems/i/software/access/web/index.html

5722XH2 *BASE IBM eServer iSeries Access for Web
5722XW1 *BASE IBM eServer iSeries Access Family

*Try out Access for Web for yourself!*

This shows the basic look of Access for Web as
we ship it.  You can try various functions --
including working with printer output, creating
database requests, etc.  Click on the 5250 tab,
sign onto System i, then start an RPG
application called BOATS and run it.

This is an example of how a customer might
design a web page for their use.  You will see
that an end user could start the same BOATS
application by clicking on the 5250 session --or
they could have used HATS to run the
application.  You will also see other links that
would let a user work with spoolfile information,
work with IFS, run database requests, etc..
