V5R3 iSeries Access for Web

Table of Contents:
    Overview

V5R3 iSeries Access for Web is generally available. It is supported on servers with V5R3 i5/OS  TM  and V5R2 OS/400.

V5R3 iSeries Access for Web provides enhancements in these areas:

  • The 5250 emulator has a portlet version that integrates into the WebSphere Portal for iSeries (Express and Express Plus). The other functions in iSeries Access for Web can also be used in this environment as IFrame portlets.
  • A new functional category called Download is now available for file distribution. A downloadable file can be stored on the iSeries server and made available for distribution through iSeries Access for Web, and a set of management functions are provided for updating and controlling access to the downloadable files. The new iSeries Access for Linux product is being provided as a downloadable file, and administrators can create other downloadable files (for example, a tailored version of the iSeries Access for Windows product for easy distribution to Windows users).
  • Additional enhancements for 5250 emulation, Print, Database, Customization, Files, and more.

For more details on the new function in V5R3, see the V5R3 Installation and Usage Guide, chapter 1, What's new for V5R3, which you can view from the documentation page.
