Using Stream Files (AS4037) | |
| Abstract | Stream files have been part of the MCP for more than ten years. The ability to manipulate these files using MCP applications has become increasingly important as both the Internet and Microsoft environments are integrated with the traditional mainframe environment. This presentation will describe how to generate and read stream files in both COBOL and ALGOL application programs, the advantages and disadvantages of using streams files internally in MCP applications, and how to transfer stream files in and out of the MCP environment using FTP, NX/Services, and the File Redirector. |

Web Enablement Approaches for ClearPath MCP Systems (AS4035) | |
| Abstract | There are now more ways to expose MCP data and applications to the World Wide Web than you can shake a stick at. Unfortunately, all of them require that you learn a number of new things, and in some cases, make modifications to the MCP-based applications. This presentation will focus on several of the main approaches to MCP web enablement, including screen scraping, ASP-based approaches like COMTI and ODBC/OLE DB, and direct web support on the MCP host. It will discuss the underlying technologies you must master for each of these, and the benefits and drawbacks of each approach. |
