5.3 AxesTerminalService

The AxesTerminalService allows a JSM client application to connect to and interact with an aXes Terminal Server to navigate, populate and interrogate IBM i 5250 screens.

Using the AxesTerminalService, an application can interact directly with existing IBM i 5250 applications running on the same or a different server system. The application can issue commands to perform such operations as:

• connect (and logon) and disconnect the 5250 session

• interrogate the values of current screen identifiers and field values

• set the values of 5250 screen entry fields

• send function keys such as ENTER and F3

• perform multiple operations with a single command by using aXes terminal operation scripts.

The AxesTerminalService supports the following commands:

• 5.3.1 SERVICE_LOAD
• 5.3.2 SERVICE_GET
• 5.3.3 CONNECT
• 5.3.4 DISCONNECT
