Enhancing the HP e3000 User Interface

WRQ Reflection

This white paper explains how WRQ Reflection products provide an ideal solution for HP e3000

customers who wish to modernize the look and feel of their current host applications.

There is no question that host systems like the HP e3000 continue to be important—it is

estimated that today, approximately 70% of valuable information and business logic is stored on

legacy systems. IT managers depend on the HP e3000 to provide reliable high-performance

access to different types of host applications. Businesses have spent millions of dollars

acquiring and developing these host systems, making it a high priority to protect these

investments and realize greater benefits from them in the future.

As host access continues to evolve, from terminals to Windows- and Web-based terminal

emulation, WRQ’s innovative products are there to help. With WRQ Reflection as part of the

solution, HP e3000 customers can save money and make their business more competitive and

efficient.

WRQ Reflection for HP combines high-quality terminal emulation with productivity tools and

features that allow users to access critical applications on HP e3000 host systems and

incorporate this information in their Windows applications.

• WRQ Reflection products include administrative tools that make managing host access more

economical. For example, the improved Reflection Deployment Manager facilitates the

process of deploying, configuring, and updating WRQ Reflection in multi-user environments.

The Reflection Event Scheduler lets users map an event, such as “At a time of day,” to an

action, such as transferring a file ñ without leaving a macro running.

• WRQ Reflection s built-in Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) 6.0 enables administrators to

integrate Reflection with other VBA-enabled applications, such as Microsoft Access, Word

and Excel. Fully integrated VBA 6.0 allows staff familiar with Microsoft Visual Basic to easily

automate and control tasks between PCs and host systems. The result is a desktop

customized to help end-users interact more effectively with your host systems. Another

example: Reflection products can be installed from a web page, and terminal emulation

sessions can be launched from within a web page.

• WRQ Reflection is part of a complete set of host-access products that, together, allow

organizations to gain competitive advantage with newer technologies, such as the Web and

Windows 2000. WRQ Reflection is the only terminal emulation software that has received the

“Certified for Windows 2000” logo from Microsoft and also runs on Windows NT 4.0

(including Windows Terminal Server Edition), Windows 98, and Windows 95. For companies

who are ready to implement e-service, WRQ Reflection for the Web allows you to leverage

your most important asset, the information and applications on your HP e3000 host system,

and make that data available via the Web.

• WRQ has been providing reliable host access solutions for almost 20 years and is the leader

in the HP e3000 terminal emulation market. Our customer satisfaction ratings are among the

highest in the industry, and we are proud to be partnered with those in the HP e3000

community. With WRQ solutions, you get a skilled partner that can help you capitalize on

existing and emerging technologies as you move into the future.
