Loading emulator clients
Z and I Emulator for Web provides a sample HTML file of ready-to-use 3270, 5250, VT, and FTP emulator sessions pre-configured with Java auto-detection components. These sessions use the HTML-based configuration model and are provided to allow you to get Z and I Emulator for Web up and running and access your host systems quickly. For more information, refer to Configuring Z and I Emulator for Web emulator clients. |
To load a Z and I Emulator for Web emulator client, a
user starts a Web browser and enters in the Address field the URL of a Z and I Emulator for Web HTML file. The Z and I Emulator for Web HTML file must be one of the
following:
- An HTML file that you create with the Deployment Wizard.
- One of several generic predefined HTML files included with Z and I Emulator for Web.
If your emulator client is deployed with the configuration server-based or combined deployment model, you need to add users and configure sessions with the administration client before you can use the emulator client. |
To launch HTML files generated by the Deployment
Wizard, specify the full URL of the HTML file in your browser:
http://server_name/zie_alias/client_name.html
where server_name is
the host name or IP address of the Z and I Emulator for Web server, zie_alias is the alias (or path) of the publish
directory, and client_name is the HTML file
name of the client. For example, if you created an HTML file in the
Deployment Wizard called 3270sessions.html, you can load it by specifying
a URL such as the following:
http://host.yourcompany.com/zieweb/3270sessions.html
To launch a predefined HTML file included with Z and I Emulator for Web, point your browser to dashboard_xx.html file, where xx is your two-letter language suffix, to view links to all the available predefined clients. dashboard_xx.html is located in the publish directory.
When you access a client, a security warning appears to notify you that Z and I Emulator for Web was created by HCL Technologies Ltd. Users must grant Java security privileges for this session or any future sessions by clicking the appropriate buttons in order for Z and I Emulator for Web to work properly.

and other response windows from appearing.
