HI Lizette, You might want to check if any of your apps are using EHLLAPI (Screen scraping) or HLLAPI , so you can make sure the new emulator software supports that (I suspect most do, but you never know .... ).
Extra is in use here, deployed over citrix .... Kind regards, Peter "Lizette Koehler" <stars...@mindspring.com> Sent by: "IBM Mainframe Discussion List" <IBM-MAIN@bama.ua.edu> 24/08/2010 12:42 PM Please respond to "IBM Mainframe Discussion List" <IBM-MAIN@bama.ua.edu> To IBM-MAIN@bama.ua.edu cc Subject 3270 Emulator Software I just went through the archives looking for generic information on 3270 emulators. There is a lot but no specific to my requirements. So here goes. What are - say - the top 5 emulators everyone uses out there. I have in my list so far Hummingbird Bluezone HOD (Host on Demand - IBM) - an I am not sure what other software is required to run this (Websphere or other?) !Extra Pcomm Rumba However, I was wondering if there were others. My requirements are support (well supported), cost, encryption and usage across a wide platform (z/OS, Linux, Windows, etc.). And it has to be deployed via Citrix. I am not sure what anyone else is using out there for this type of software. I love Vista3270 but I am not sure that my company will even look at it. Is there a preference out there or is it just a random acquisition - kinda like I like the pink one? Or does someone have an evaluation analysis write up on this type of software that they would be willing to share? I am not usually in the front in the RFP but this time I am and it would help me to know what to look for when selecting a 3270 emulator.
