Get to the Web Fast with iSeries Access for Web

If you are looking for a extremely simply and highly functional way
for to work with iSeries resources, then iSeries Access for Web is
the best option! Users simply start up their favorite browser and
work with iSeries resources through easy-to-use GUIs. This session
will describe how users
can run host applications, work with the database, printers, the
file system. Network administration becomes a breeze as there is
nothing that needs to be installed or configured on end user
desktops. By the end ofthis session, you will see how users can:

- Run host applications (5250 emulation), upload and download
database information, and use the iSeries as a file and print server
- Convert their spooled printer output to PDF and either print it
or email it
- Work with printers, jobs, run commands, send messages -- all
through easy-to-use GUIs designed around the browser interface
- How an administrator can set up different views ('window') of the
iSeries for different groups of users.

You will also learn about the new features added to V5R4 of iSerie s
Access for Web.

iSeries Access for Web: Installation and Configuration

So you've heard that iSeries Access for Web is the new browser-based
addition to the iSeries Access Family, and it runs run entirely on
the iSeries in a web application server. This session will describe
detailed information on how the product isdelivered, what pre-
requisite products need to be running on your iSeries, and what
needs to be done to get Access for Web configured and running in
your network. We will also discuss how Access for Web can be used to
connect to multiple back-end iSeries servers.

iSeries Access for Web: Control Access to Your Resources

Abstract: When you connect to your System i through iSeries Access
for Web, you will be presented with a default home page that enables
you to work with your server resources, such as 5250 applications,
printers, database, file system, and more. However, as an
administrator of your Syst em i, you may not want many of your
connecting users to have access to all of these
functions. You can limit access by using the customization tools
provided by Access for Web. Everything is controlled through i5/OS
user profiles, so you can restrict functions based on single users
or group profiles. And youcan create a variety of front pages for
your different types of users.

Come to this session to learn:
- How to set policies to control what functions of iSeries Access
for Web that connecting users can see and use.
- About 'user-level' preferences that may improve productivity for
connecting users.
- How to use the customize functions to create your own home pages.

iSeries Access for Web: Run 5250 in a Browser

Among the iSeries Access for Web capabilities is a 5250 interface
that
allows you to access your System i through your web browser of
choice. You can completely control this function from y our server,
set up preconfigured sessions for your end users, bypass the second
sign-on by using macros at start-up time, and have a help
desk 'shared 5250 session with users having troubles at their
desktop. Come and hear about the features available in this new 5250
web-based interface so that your company can get to the web
with your existing applications.

iSeries Access for Web: Tips and Techniques

As iSeries Access for Web grows in popularity, administrators want
to roll out these capabilities to more and more users on more and
more systems.
This session provides tips on how to incorporate iSeries Access for
Web functions into normal mainstream processing, and provide added
capabilities for end users. You will learn how to exploit its
administrative tools to:

- Enable users to combine their email with iSeries Access for Web
functions. With a single click, user can convert results of
transactions into .PDF, .ZIP, or PC spreadsheet formats, and include
these as an attachment to their email.
- Set up network configurations and set up special security measures
- Work with Policy profiles and propagate these throughout the
network
