iSeries WEB Access Toolkit

iSeries WEB Access Toolkit
provides webmasters with some facilities to maintain their
iSeries WEB sites through the WEB itself.
This toolkit is expecially useful when HTTP is the only
way the server can be accessed.
Though this toolkit may result into a great help,
once installed it may open a
security breach on server
defenses.
This is why we recommend that you implement our security
recommendations outlined in the page
"Managing security" of the Toolkit.

Facilities provided
- Upload - Type I
This facility provides a very easy way to upload
both text (e.g. html pages) and binary files (e.g. images).
The original files to be uploaded may physically be
on the hard disk of the client, or on another system
to which the client is connected (e.g. via Client Access).
- Upload - Type II
This class of facilities allows to upload source members
and save files. Usually two sessions are opened:
one with the source server, one with the target
server (the WEB site to be updated).
Commands are available to:
- Display source members
- Download source members
- Save libraries, objects, directories
- Create, display, and clear save files
- Download save files
- Upload source members
- Upload save files
- Restore libraries, objects, directories
- Command Entry
The Command Entry facility in this Toolkit
is provided for some very basic operations.
As it runs in batch mode, it is not able to
- display command prompts
- bring up interactive displays
What it does is to
- execute a command
- provide response messages
- display the generated spool file
In a few cases (
wrkoutq, wrkactjob, wrksbmjob, dsplnk
),
for some national languages
(English, Italian),
it would interpret the generated spool file
and provide some input options.
Note.
In order to display the printed output from commands,
this command entry has to know in advance the name of the
spool file. This is done through a file
which provides the spool file names for a number of commands.
Such commands can be listed by pressing the button
Supported display commands.
Other features:
- easy-to-use duplication of previous commands
- ability to display the joblog of the HTTP server
job that processed a command
(this may help in understanding the reason of
a command failure)
- Work with HTTP configuration
Through this facility you may very easily maintain the
(traditional) configuration of your HTTP servers.
You may
- Display configuration members
- Download configuration members, in order to update them
as local text files
- Upload configuration members back to the server;
original configurations are automatically backed up.
- Work with validation lists
You no longer need the ADMIN server to maintain validation lists.
This toolkit facilities let's you browse and update
validation lists as they were regular files.
- Copy file via FTP
This is a batch FTP that allows to copy files from
your server to another server or to another directory on the
same server.
The log of the batch session is displayed at the touch of a button.
