IBM WebSphere Host Publisher 4.0 (5724-B81) can modernize host applications or replace traditional character-based interfaces with a Web look and feel.

Host Publisher and Host Publisher Studio have been bundled with the iSeries Access for Web product to provide a complete Web-to-host integration solution. This IBM Redbooks publication is designed for basic-level users who want to use iSeries Access for Web V5R2 or WebSphere Host Publisher V4.0. It shows you how to install and use iSeries Access for Web and WebSphere Host Publisher on the iSeries server through several example applications. It summarizes the Web-to-host products. Then it presents various circumstances to help you decide which product to choose when you consider integrating enterprise data into the Web.
