5.2 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.
