How to Compile, Build, and Maintain
a Pathway/iTS Web Client
This section describes the steps you need to take to convert a SCREEN COBOL
program into a Pathway/iTS web client and to compile, build, deploy, and maintain the
resulting web client. The steps are:
1. Prepare the SCREEN COBOL Object File
2. Create a Configuration File
3. Run the Converter
4. Modify Java or SCREEN COBOL Code as Needed
5. Run PROFDBM to Set Up the User Profile Database
6. Build the Converted Client
7. Deploy the Web Client
8. Customize the Screens
9. Specify the Port Number of the Router Process
10. Configure Pathway Servers for User Profiles and User Conversion Routines
11. Tune the Application for Performance by Changing the Session-Length
Parameter
12. Maintain the Client
For each step, a generic description of the step is followed by an example that refers to
a sample SCREEN COBOL application. The sample application used in this section
consists of four program units: LOG1, LOG2, INV1, and INV2. Program units LOG1
and LOG2 are located in the program file LGINCOD and program units INV1 and INV2
are located in the program file INVYCOD. Program units LOG1 and LOG2 perform the
login and user authentication functions for the application. If the login is successful,
the program unit INV1 is called, which in turn calls INV2 to begin process user
requests. The initial program unit for this sample application (as specified in the
INITPROG parameter) is LOG1.
