webMethods JIS

The architecture of webMethods JIS comprises several key components. The Screen Importer is responsible for importing screen definitions from CICS BMS and IMS MFS. The Code Generator then transforms these definitions into Java and HTML code.

The Runtime Engine executes the generated code, providing the web interface to the mainframe applications. The Administration Console provides a central point for managing configurations, monitoring the runtime environment, and managing deployments. Communication between components occurs through internal APIs and configuration files.

The Screen Importer passes screen definitions to the Code Generator. The Runtime Engine interacts with the mainframe using protocols specific to the mainframe environment. Security is implemented through RBAC, with user roles and permissions managed via the Administration Console.

Encryption is used to protect data in transit, primarily through HTTPS. Audit logging tracks user activities and system events. The product does not typically use a database for core functionality, relying on the mainframe systems for data storage.

Network requirements include connectivity to the mainframe and web clients, with specific port requirements depending on the protocols used.
