ASSIST/TS is a document distribution system that can deliver multiple types of data to a 3270 mainframe application, not just text based windows, supporting your screen-level or field-level help systems. The easy-to-use ASSIST/TS menu-driven interface will guide even the most non-technical end-user through the process of creating and maintaining help systems. With ASSIST/TS, users are productive faster because they are no longer struggling to learn a new application. Experienced users become even more productive because changeable and often obscure information is now instantly available.
The new ASSIST Web Help feature allows your end-users to display ASSIST/TS library members from a browser, whether the Web-based application uses the IBM 3270 Bridge or a custom-built application (ASP, JSP, Visual Basic, etc.). ASSIST Web Help receives a help request (Window, Panel, Manual, Query or System) via HTTP from any application. It then retrieves the help/reference information from ASSIST/TS and presents the HTML help/reference information in a separate browser window.
Features of ASSIST/TS:
- Extend help screens and online manuals out to a browser.
- Utilize existing help with new Web applications.
- Attach help windows to applications without changing application source code.
- Develop electronic/paperless documentation systems with security features.
- Present DB2 data to the 3270 terminal via SQL SELECT statement
- Ability to transfer information between applications.
- Ability to build and maintain Electronic Referencing System at PC level and upload to the mainframe.
