IBM WebSphere Host On-Demand provides cost-effective and secure browser-based host access for users in intranet-based and extranet-based environments. Host On-Demand is installed on a Web server, simplifying administrative management and deployment, and the Host On-Demand applet is downloaded to the client browser providing user connectivity to critical host applications and data. Host On-Demand supports emulation for common terminal types, communications protocols, communications gateways, and printers, including the following:
  • TN3270 and TN3270E terminals
  • TN5250 terminals
  • VT52, VT100, VT220, VT320, and VT420 terminals
  • File Transfer Protocol (FTP)
  • Customer Information and Control System (CICS®) Transaction Gateway
  • TN3270E and TN5250 printers
You can use the Java component-based Host Access Toolkit to create customized e-business applications. This Toolkit contains a rich set of Java libraries and application programming interfaces: Host Access Class Library (HACL), Host Access Beans for Java, and Java 2 Enterprise Edition (J2EE) connectors. Host On-Demand also includes Database On-Demand, which provides an interface for sending Structured Query Language (SQL) queries to IBM DB2® databases hosted on iSeries™ systems.
