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 as follows:

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

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.
