Installing the iWay Emulation Adapter (3270/5250)

The iWay Emulation Adapter (3270/5250) links new business applications to mainframe-based business logic through IBM 3270/5250 terminal screens and data streams. It enables you to transform your 3270/5250 mainframe screens into HTML pages or to create a Remote Procedure Call (RPC) request to transform the output of screens into an answer set. The adapter provides a simple, lightweight, and scalable way to reuse the business logic and data of terminal applications.

The iWay Emulation Adapter (3270/5250) requires client components that you must configure after installing iWay 6.1.5 SM. The two client components are:

Note: If you plan to run the Emulation Adapter on a UNIX system, you must install iWay 6.1.5 SM and the Emulation Adapter client components on the UNIX system and also install the adapter client components on a Windows system. This enables you to use the Telnet Designer, which is supported on Windows only.

The iWay Emulation Adapter requires client components, including the Telnet Designer, that must be configured after installing iWay 6.1.5 SM.

Procedure: How to Install the iWay Emulation Adapter Client Components

To install the iWay Emulation Adapter client components:

Unzip the iwtelnettool.zip archive file to a location on your file system.
The iwtelnettool.zip archive file is located in the following directory:
```
<iway_home>\etc\setup\emulation
```
Note: If you are using the iWay Emulation Adapter with iWay Service Manager (iSM), it is recommended that you install the iWay Emulation Adapter client components under the iSM root directory. For example:
```
<iway_home>\etc\setup\emulation\iwtelnettool\
```
When you unzip the iwtelnettool.zip archive file, the following directory structure is created:
Note: A logs subfolder is created in this directory structure when logs are initially generated.
Ensure that the iwtelnet.jar file is available in the following iSM lib directory:
```
C:\Program Files\iWay61\lib
```
If the iwtelnet.jar file is not available in this location, you can copy it from the following directory:
```
<iway_home>\etc\setup\emulation\iwtelnettool\lib
```
