Designed for use in an intranet environment, the Pro component offers the richest feature set and consists of ActiveX controls that give users access to mission‐critical host applications and data. The Pro component provides these client session types:
Pro client sessions include these advanced features and options:
Hotspots, a word or set of characters on the host screen, activate a function when clicked. Using the Hotspots Configuration dialog box, you can enable/disable, show/hide, create, and modify both default and user-created hotspots. Default hotspots are host commands displayed on‐screen. User created hotspots are custom macros you assign to selected on‐screen text. You can also use hotspots and macros to log on to and run host applications automatically. Any protected text on your host screen can be turned into a hotspot. In mainframe displays, you can also configure hotspots for non‐protected text.
Pro AS/400 File Transfer moves files and data between the host and the PC using either the menu bar or toolbar options of the AS/400 display. A customized toolbar button activates a pre‐configured FTX file and starts the AS/400 FTX application. A new AS/400 emulation type has been added to the Session Configuration Manager. It opens the AS/400 FTX application and loads an existing FTX configuration on the client. Your users can customize the file transfer session, configuring options such as the data format for sending and receiving, file locations, application behavior both during and upon completion of the transfer, security settings, and host connection.
With enhanced user profiles, user configuration files (.cph) are no longer deleted automatically when changes are made in the HTML files for configurable options. For more information, see User Profile Configuration.
Pro ActiveX components are downloaded to the client once, during the first login. A new download service is first installed on the client workstation. Once the service is installed on the client, all users (including restricted users) can work with the Pro ActiveX controls. The service handles all installs, upgrades, and downloads of Pro ActiveX components.
The Web‐to‐Host Distribution Packager enables you to bundle multiple Web‐to‐Host configuration and data files into a single, easily distributed package. Users can run sessions that include a complete work environment with components such as pre‐defined scripts, macros, hotspots, custom toolbars, background images, icons, screen/font colors, AS/400 File Transfer and Batch File Transfer profiles (for Web‐to‐Host Pro sessions). The Web‐to‐Host Distribution Packager helps you provide standardized functionality and a single look and feel for all users. For more information, see the online Help.
