From LANSA, RPG, COBOL or CL applications running on your IBM i (AS/400, iSeries, System i), you can now deliver your business information and data direct to mobile devices — such as iPhones, iPads, Android devices and the latest technology from Blackberry and with Windows Mobile 7 — with Zero Deployment on the mobile devices.
aXes Mobile lets you leverage the growing power of HTML 5 and the emerging industry standard WebKit browser family to provide ubiquitous access to IBM i server based applications.
Design the new RPG, COBOL or CL application with the following in mind:
- Mobile devices have limited screen size available
- Use of GUI controls should replace more traditional 5250 screen interactions
- AJAX Web 2.0 capabilities can be added to any screen to maximize appearance and functionality
- Send and receive only the data required to minimize the traffic
- Create RPG, COBOL or CL program(s) to send and receive the information to each mobile screen
- Layout each mobile screen using aXes eXtensions to:
- Add controls like drop downs, group boxes, hyperlinks, images, text labels, checkboxes, and calendars
- Add buttons with scripts that control what happens when they are clicked
- Alter the position of fields on the screen
- Insert bars, stripes, colors and color gradients to enhance the appearance
- aXes handles the rest
Reuse Existing Applications — Let aXes Mobile do the work
You can use your existing RPG, COBOL and CL 5250 applications and access these applications via mobile devices such as smart phones and tablet PCs without changing one line of the underlying programs.
Reuse Existing Applications - Let aXes Mobile do the work
aXes converts existing 5250 screens to Web pages on-the-fly without change to the underlying applications, and modernizes the screen to create rich Internet applications - all accessible from mobile devices.
Graphical user interface out-of-the-box
- No source code to change. Nothing to recompile. Works instantly, even on 5250 screens for which you do not have the source code (screens from OS/400, purchased packages, etc)
- Web enabled terminal emulation straight to the mobile device
- Automatically handled by aXes
- No need to change the underlying RPG, COBOL or CL code
- Layout each screen using aXes eXtensions:
- Add controls like drop downs, group boxes, hyperlinks, images, text labels, checkboxes, and calendars
- Add buttons with scripts that control what happens when they are clicked
- Alter the position of fields on the screen
- Insert bars, stripes, colors and color gradients to enhance the appearance
- aXes handles the rest
