Share Your ExperienceProduct Overview
The Extra! architecture comprises several key components: the Session Manager, Display Emulator, Keyboard Handler, Communication Module, and Macro Scripting Engine. The Session Manager handles session creation, management, and termination.
The Display Emulator renders the 3270 display on the client. The Keyboard Handler processes user input and translates it into 3270 commands. The Communication Module uses the TN3270 protocol to communicate with the mainframe, supporting SSL/TLS encryption for secure sessions.
The Macro Scripting Engine allows users to automate tasks. These components interact through a series of internal APIs and message queues. The Display Emulator interacts with the Keyboard Handler to process user input.
The Communication Module interacts with the Session Manager to manage connections. The Macro Scripting Engine can interact with all other components to automate tasks. Data is not stored in any persistent database within the client application.
Configuration settings are stored in user profile directories. Network requirements include TCP port 23 for TN3270 connections and the ports required for SSL/TLS. The GUI provides access to configuration settings and logging information.
For example, the Display Emulator receives data from the Communication Module and renders it on the screen.
