12. Maintain the Client

To modify the number of I/O operations in a session, replace the param sessionlength

default value (within the double quotes; 20 in the example) with the desired integer

value.

12. Maintain the Client

You can maintain the client by modifying either the SCREEN COBOL source files or

the Java source files. If both terminal clients and web clients access the converted

application, you might want to make future modifications in the SCREEN COBOL files

to avoid maintaining two sets of source-code files. On the other hand, if all the clients

accessing the application are web clients, modifying the Java source might be a better

option.

Modify SCREEN COBOL Source Code

Enhancements and maintenance changes to the SCREEN COBOL source code fall

into one of these categories:

•

Changes to business logic only

•

Changes to business logic and display

•

Changes to display section only

Changes to Business Logic Only

If only the business logic changes, all the corresponding changes to the web clients

are in the Java code. In this case, to generate a newer version of the web client, do

these:

1. Reconvert the SCREEN COBOL application.
