Host Integration Solution

The architecture of Host Integration Solution is comprised of several key components. The Host Access Transformation Services (HATS) runtime environment is responsible for executing transformed applications. The Host on Demand (HOD) server provides web-based access to host applications.

The Personal Communications client provides terminal emulation capabilities. These components communicate using various protocols, including TCP/IP, TN3270, and HTTP/HTTPS. xml`) to define application transformations.

HOD uses a server-side configuration file for settings. WS) for connection settings. The solution does not use a dedicated database, but relies on the host system's data storage.

Network requirements include open ports for TN3270 (port 23), HTTP (port 80), and HTTPS (port 443). Security is implemented through authentication, authorization, and encryption. The solution supports integration with external authentication systems like LDAP and Kerberos.

Audit logs are generated to track user activities and system events. Key competitors include Micro Focus and Rocket Software, but this solution offers deeper integration with IBM mainframe environments.
