Modernization of Legacy Mainframe Access

Efficiency
(Based on Java rules engine)

'On the fly' process to transforms your 3270 and 5250 applications with a secured Web Gui access through any HTML5 browser (tablet & PC):

  • Out of the box: ready to work without any change of COBOL code and without Mainframe components.
  • Any changes on Mainframe side is automatically managed with zero impact.
  • No change in user behavior, reuse of 3270 or 5250 keyboard.

Ergonomics
(Graphic interface more modern and user friendly)

Simplifying and enhancing navigation, data key-in and displaying.

  • Modular Webization on any screen of your 3270/5250 applications by the webization engine of Crysalid,
  • Easier integration of interfaces & data with new applications,
  • Optimize processes duration, enhance data key-in quality, facilitate new users appropriation.
  • Multilingual translation of Mainframe applications with automated & 'on-the-fly' process through server-based thesaurus usage

Two ways to improve user experience with Crysalid:

  • FLYUI: high Web Gui tranformation through smart and adaptative rules libraries - no double maintenance.
  • SMARTUI:Web Gui business redefinition with micro-services and data integration (REST)

Proven
(High Performance)

Performances near 3270/5250, provide access to thousands of users, executing hundreds of TPS,

Secure Remote Access in HTTP/SLL (no more TELNET flow)

Crysalid enabled RACF identification, through NETVIEW (or similar software), but also Passticket.

Autmatically Transform 3270 maps in HTML5

Emulator mode (Fat client remplacement as Extra, …)
or enhanced mode using rules library & external configuration 1 for 1 Mode (1 map -> 1 HTML page )

Benefits

  • Direct Connection to mainframe using TELNET 3270 (no other wrapper or connector),
  • Very Fast Project (weeks or month),
  • For all your maps (100% of your 3270),
  • Automatic engine -> no care (fire-and-forget),
  • Multilingual translation of Mainframe applications with automated & 'on-the-fly' process through server-based thesaurus usage,
  • No risk -> TCO very low,
  • No need of additional training (isomorphic screen structures),

SOA/REST Mode

REST micro-services Publication

Merging data from several 3270 maps
Update data on several 3270 maps

0 to n Mode (blind mode):
1 service call -> n maps merged -> 1 REST response

Benefits

  • Direct Connection to mainframe using TELNET 3270 (no other wrapper or connector),
  • SOA Architecture based on micro-services,
  • Automatic engine -> no care (fire-and-forget),
  • No dependance between IHM of client applications and mainframe server,
  • Integration of mainframe in several applications/technologys

SmartUI

High enhancement of human machine interface from 3270 maps to HTML pages

n to m mode ( several map to several html parts)
Using up-to-date WEB technologies ( SPA + JSON Paradigm )
ANGULAR / EMBER / REACT / VUE / HTML5
Screen recomposition ( business needs , ergonomic, small changes in business process )
Call of Crysalid REST services (Maiframe Data collect to present, mainframe data update using scripting of transactions,…)
Able to consume other services (REST) in parallel mode:

  • Mainframe IBM -> ‘MQ Series’ or ‘CICS/TG’,
  • services Orchestrator, REST services, DB ( ORACLE, DB2, SQL SERVER, MySQL,…),

Benefits

  • Direct Connection to Mainframe using TELNET 3270 (no other wrapper or connector),
  • Very Fast Project (weeks or month),
  • Very Simple to use (based on models),

Benefits

Mainframe modernization without risks

Short modernization projects regardless of the size of the Legacy (1 to a few weeks)

3270 legacy access fluidity

Crysalid enables a modern Web UI interface, rejuvenated through CSS3 and consistent with your enterprise portal.

Integration with your portal is eased due to navigation scripts, optimizing direct access to business transactions and data.

The «point and click» UI replaces «functions keys» oriented navigation and leverage WEB UI intuitiveness for young generation users.

                    

Productivity is reinforced through:

  • memorization effort reduction for users,
  • removal of useless navigation through business transactions,
  • ‘get & put’ process of business data between Mainframe and Web applications, avoiding data re-entry; and so, optimizing time saving and minimizing user errors.

As a base, Crysalid supports any kind of web browser running on a large scope of terminals (PC,IOS, Android).

Mainframe Modernization Speed-up

Crysalid is a well-proofed solution, running thousands of simultaneous users.

It enables Mainframe access with an optimized Web UI for each channel (back office, branch office, extranet, partners…).

Crysalid enables Mainframe applications function enrichment without COBOL modification:

  • portal integration,
  • data import/export to Web applications,
  • PDF printing,
  • enhanced security, …

very high level of performance ensuring best user response time, while handling thousands of users.

High level of savings:

  • suppression of 3270/5250 emulation software on workstations,
  • avoiding Mainframe transactions redevelopment, using SPA model

Crysalid needs are limited to a Java 8 server (Tomcat, WAS,…) without any database or any EJB.

Implementation Speed-up

Crysalid's short-term project model (a few weeks) enables progressive implementation, step by step.

It is riskless due to its Mainframe non-intrusive approach, as mainframe maintenance remains unchanged and mainframe transactions can still be accessed through standard 3270/5250 emulators.

Its lightweight architecture does not require any cluster, while remaining scalable.

Its installation in your Java development factory (Eclipse,…) remains easy and its production deployment relies on your DEVOPS environment (GIT, MAVEN, Jenkins…).

Maintenance Simplification

One single point of maintenance: the Mainframe source code (Cobol, PL1, ASM…).
When modifying Mainframe transactions, Crysalid generates the resulting Web User Interface with an 'on the fly’, dynamic & automatic process, this without any mainframe intrusiveness,

So, Crysalid avoids any double maintenance (Mainframe & Web) and allows you to focus your WEB redevelopments on specific Mainframe screen that demand added-value changes.

Mainframe Access Security

Your entreprise Information System is instantly consolidated by the removal of TELNET flows, and by Mainframe access integration using HTTPS with SAMF (or others…).
