Host Integration SDK

What is Host Integration SDK?

The Host Integration SDK enables system integrators and developers to create new, secure business applications. Integrates legacy information into new and innovative Java applications, servlets, and custom Java Server Pages (JSPs) for access to host applications running in IBM mainframe, AS 400, Dec, and Unix operating environments.

Packages include powerful and flexible Java libraries, components, and tools with advanced features, intuitive samples, and online documentation.

Benefits

Reduces application development time

The Host Integration SDK radically simplifies screen capture. The time used for developing server-based applications is reduced from hours to minutes through automatic hostlet generation – unique to the Host Integration SDK!

Flexible, easy-to-use development tools

Aviva Developer Assistant is an easy-to-use tool that writes host navigation sequences and automatically generates hostlets, such as Java code that encapsulates host transaction behavior. And Aviva Trace Player is a great tool for testing or demonstrating offline apps.

Supports standard application servers

Host Integration SDK components run on all industry-leading application servers, including Oracle Application Server, iPlanet Portal Server, BEA's WebLogicTM Server, and IBM's WebSphere Server.

Operating system portability

The Host Integration SDK is written in 100% Java and can be supported on any operating system according to the Java premise: Write once and run anywhere.

Automatic generation of hostlets

A hostlet is Java code automatically generated by the Developer Assistant tool, capturing the host's transaction in real time. Web application developers can easily integrate hostlets into custom applications, saving development time and reducing errors.

Easy to use for comprehensive samples and guides

Application-based online help enables developers with little or no mainframe knowledge to create secure Java applications for host data access.

Powerful and flexible programming interfaces

Includes Aviva Class Library, API Extended Markup Language (XML), Aviva JavaBeans, and OHIO.

Support for SSL encryption

The applications you develop are secure and reliable.
