Learning Objectives
In this course, students will learn how to use IBM's HATS to create new Web and Rich Client interfaces for 3270 and 5250 applications. Many companies still have a considerable investment in legacy applications on a variety of host platforms. The challenge for developers and end users is how to extend these 3270 and 5250 legacy applications to make them available via a Web browser. The IBM's HATS tool provides Web and Rich Client Enablement for these legacy applications.

Topics:
 Provide an overview of key HATS concepts.
 Identify the requirements for using HATS.
 Convert a legacy application to utilize a graphical user interface.
 Use the advanced rules-based transformation engine.
 Deploying a variety of options and widget, to transform host screen elements into Web screen components.
       Widgets include drop-down lists, radio buttons, hot-link lists, and button tables.
       Customization of widgets and creating new widgets to meet your specific requirements.
 Using HATS macros to support programmed navigation through multiple legacy screens.
 Utilizing Rational Studio for developing and testing your HATS-enabled application.
