IBM Communications Server for Windows NT and Host Publisher consists of two major components: Windows 2000 provides all-in-one communications • services between and a host system, as well Host Publisher Studio • as other workstations. Its capabilities include a Host Publisher Server full-function SNA gateway, the most Advanced Peer-to-Peer Networking system in the industry, support Host Publisher Studio: The Host Publisher Studio is a for many types of connectivities, and a rich set of collection of task-oriented, easy-to-use GUIs that assist application programming interfaces (). Of particular the Web application builder in managing and creating significance is the support of SNA, that is based on IBM′s Web-to-host projects. It uses task-oriented prompts to long experience as the architect and developer of this guide the user through the creation , including: important protocol.

The following is a summary of the new functions and Host Publisher Server: The Host Publisher Server runs enhancements. on Windows NT and provides the run-time environment for supporting Web applications created with the Host Express Logon Publisher Studio. Host Publisher is on a separate CD assembly and runs on Windows NT only. It consists of the This function allows a user, running an express WebSphere Application Server Standard Edition and other logon-capable TN3270E client, to log onto popular run-time components such as: OS/390 host subsystems, such as CICS , IMS , and TSO, without having to enter a RACF user ID and • Connection management password.

It also provides remote Communications Server now publishes to the access to Host Publisher server Integration Objects. This Windows 2000 Active Directory that it has TN3270 and enables remote Java applications or applets, running on TN5250 server capability. This permits any Windows 95, a remote client or server, to execute Host Publisher 98, NT, or Windows 2000 client machine to search for and Integration Objects for an existing application access as find the Communications Server′s TN3270/TN5250 though they were physically running on the Host Publisher services configured within Active Directory, allowing the server machine.

This saves XML Gateway: The Host Publisher feature provides an configuration efforts and expands the benefit to more XML Gateway for accessing legacy 3270 and 5250 types of clients. Previously, the only way to get this applications and making that application data available to information was through Service Location Protocol (SLP) programs in an XML format. which required configuration on the Communications Server and its use was limited to only the The Host Publisher XML Gateway also provides an HTML Communications Server for Windows NT clients.
