Hot-Backup - provides automatic reconnection and a dynamic link selection across all connection types, minimizing down time

Session Template - contains the default values that are used by the Session Wizard to create a new display or printer session; can be customized by the system administrator for a specific corporate environment

Wizards - provide step-by-step instructions to create new session and destinations using the default values contained in the session templates

SMS Support - provides scripts that allow attended or unattended installations of Aviva for Desktops across the network using Microsoft Systems Management Server

Resource Kit - provides MIS professional with additional tools and information needed for installing, configuring and supporting Aviva for Desktops

International Support - international keyboard and font support for 48 languages and layouts allows large multi-national corporations to standardize on one emulation product for worldwide host connectivity

ActiveX Automation - Aviva for Desktops functions both as an ActiveX Controller and Server, which means it can control or be controlled by other ActiveX compliant applications such as MS Excel or Visual Basic

WinHLLAPI - enables third party applications that are written to this API to communicate with Aviva for Desktops

Macro Dialog Editor - lets users automate routine tasks such as logging on to the host and copying information between sessions; macros can be assigned to keyboard mappings, toolbar buttons, menu items, hotspots and screen triggers through the Macro Manager

VBA Compatible Macro Language - an advanced macro language that supports the familiar VBA (Visual Basic for Applications) syntax promoted by Microsoft in all its MS Office products, so that users familiar to MS Office applications don't have to learn a new macro language

GUI Front-End Generation - with its support for a wide variety of APIs and tools (HLLAPI, ActiveX Automation, VBA macro language, etc.), Aviva for Desktops is the ideal platform to develop GUI front-end applications that hide the complexity of SNA connectivity to the end-user

Graphical Toolbar - can display multiple graphical toolbars that can be customized and positioned anywhere on the screen; includes the ToolTips feature that displays a descriptive text for each button

Screen Triggers - a Screen Trigger is a pre-defined area of the session window in which Aviva for Desktops searches for a specified word or phrase generated by the host computer and depending on the word or phrase sent, executes a pre-assigned macro or emulation text string

Toolbar and Menu Editors - lets LAN administrators add, move, remove or rename menus as well as assign menus to macros and emulation text - identical to that of standard Microsoft Office products

Host color remapping - lets LAN administrators customize the user interface to maximize screen visibility

Configure Hotspots - pre-set by the administrator in the session template, eliminating the need to use keyboard function keys

MAPI-compliant messaging - enables users to send display screens and diagnostic files to LAN administrators via e-mail

ToolTips on OIA line - the OpView line converts cryptic Operator Information Area (OIA) symbols into plain English (via ToolTips) which provides an intuitive way to streamline connecting problems

OIA merged with status bar - the contents of the OpView can also be presented as text information in the status bar, providing more space to display data

3D View - lets the LAN administrators put a graphical face on legacy applications without writing a single line of code and let corporations focus their development efforts where they are needed

Drag and Drop file transfer - provides an intuitive user interface to transfer files between systems

Aviva HotConnectTM - a patent-pending technology that provides secure SNA-to-TCP/IP migration and failsafe connectivity



Aviva Host Integration Software Developer's Kit - enables systems integrators and developers to create new, secure business applications.

Packages include powerful and flexible Java libraries, components and tools with advanced features, intuitive samples and online documentation.


Key Benefits:-

Reduces application development time - Aviva Host Integration SDK radically simplifies screen scraping. The time-to-develop server-based applications is reduced from hours to minutes through the automatic generation of 'Hostlets' - unique to Aviva Host Integration SDK!

Flexible, easy-to-use development tools - The Aviva Developer Assistant is an easy-to-use tool that records host navigation sequences and automatically generates Hostlets; Java code that encapsulates the host transaction behavior. And, the Aviva Trace Player is a great tool for testing or demonstrating your applications off-line.

Supports standard application servers - Aviva Host Integration SDK components run on all industry-leading application servers including Oracle9i Application Server, iPlanet Portal Server, BEA's WebLogicTM Server, and IBM's WebSphere Server.

Operating system portability - Aviva Host Integration SDK is written in 100% Java and can be ported on any OS in accordance to the Java promise: "Write once, run anywhere".

Automatic "hostlet" generation - A "Hostlet" is Java code automatically generated by the Aviva Developer Assistant (ADA) tool capturing the host transaction in real-time. Web application developers can easily integrate 'Hostlets' into customized applications, saving you development time and reducing error.

Easy to use samples, comprehensive guides, tutorials as well as detailed HTML - based online help enable developers with little or no mainframe knowledge to create secure Java applications for accessing host data.

Powerful and flexible programming interfaces - including Aviva Class Library (ACL), Extended Markup Language (XML) API, Aviva JavaBeans, and OHIO.

Support for SSL encryption - the applications you develop are secure and reliable.
