Product Overview

CL/CONFERENCE's architecture comprised several key components. These included a screen capture module, a data transmission module, and a network communication module. The screen capture module was responsible for capturing the 3270 screen data.

The data transmission module handled the transmission of the captured data over the network. The network communication module managed the network protocols. The product used a proprietary protocol for communication.

Configuration was managed through configuration files. Due to the end of life, organizations should migrate to alternative solutions for 3270 screen sharing. These alternatives offer enhanced security and compatibility with current systems.

Consider solutions like Rocket Software Terminal Emulation or Attachmate Reflection for IBM.
