HATS Connection Question
|
|
| Iran Q. Hutchinson 2005-06-05, 5:45 pm |
| Can HATS or some custom development with WebExpress Logon, Integration
Objects, etc. fullfill the following requirement?
The requirement is to have the connection that HATS connects to be
configurable.
The Use Case is:
Precondition(s): User has valid 3270 ID and is not currently connected
to HATS.
1. User points brower to http://<server>/<applications>.
2. System presents a selectable list of connections.
3. User selects a connection from the drop-down list and presses submit.
4. System receives connection selected by the user and sets an
environment variable for HATS and launches the HATS web application or
Portlet.
5. HATS reads the selected connection from the environment variable and
connects to the 3270 session.
6. The system then presents the rendered HATS view to the User
Postcondition: User is connected to the 3270 System they selected on the
configuration page.

| I think that if you want to have several connections, you should have
diferent HATS projects, each of them related with one of the connections, as
although a HATS project can have more than one background connection it can
only have one main connection (performing transformations).
You could build an application that redirects to the specific HATS project
URL with the desired connection.

| Check the manual for 'URL overrides.' You can reconfigure the HATS
connection created for an end-user by passing in overriding
configuration information on the URL. In your form, you'd pass
parameters to HATS that change things like the host IP, the LUName
(workstationID for 5250) and so on. There are security settings in
project settings so you can control which characteristics of the
connection can be overridden.
Hope this helps!
