LegacyLink.
LegacyLink is a customized connectivity application that lets organizations link their Web servers to legacy applications running on host mainframes and minicomputers. Access to host legacy data is facilitated using an existing terminal emulation connection. Users can perform basic business-processing tasks via the Web, such as making a reservation, ordering merchandise, and searching inventory through a secure corporate Intranet. A Web browser is used to initiate communication with a Web server, which accesses a legacy application via LegacyLink. The Web server passes data to LegacyLink via a CGI-transparent interface. LegacyLink initiates a host application session as would any other terminal user and exchanges information with the host. Data obtained through this exchange is passed to the Web server via LegacyLink, and the Web server sends the data to the Web browser.
