Transaction Designer

Build applications that require access to mainframe or midrange (host) data in a few hours rather than the several days API interfaces require. Capture an entire set of host interactions and encapsulate them into transactions that can then be used from most development environments including VoiceXML (VXML), Visual Basic, Java, and .NET.

Our Transaction Designer is a Java based tool that runs on a Windows desktop. With it you can access a host application, automatically record screens and keystrokes, and combine these into transactions using an easy-to-use graphical user interface (GUI). The transactions contain all the information you need to interact with a set of host display screens.

• Run host emulators and record screens required for host navigation.
• Display recorded screens with highlighted input fields .
• Create and modify host transactions for each transaction set, such as "Login," "Logout," "Recovery", "Park" or a user-specified name.
• Save screen definitions and host transactions to files in a specific XML or VoiceXML format.
• Test created transactions with instant verification.

Once a set of transactions is created, it is published in XML format as a transaction set for later use by Transaction Processor. Although the transactions are created on Windows, the published XML transactions may be run on practically any operating system - Windows, Linux or Unix.
