Rapidly transform your green-screen, 3270 / 5250 applications to native and modern web platforms with NO screen scraping. This highly automated and highly customizable facelift solution is fast, cost-effective, guarantees functional equivalence, and minimizes end-user retraining. Choose an incremental, piece-meal, staged UI modernization to modern web platforms and architecture.
Run the modernized UI using latest web technologies and UI frameworks of your choice while preserving your business logic and existing back-end architecture. The result is fully transformed code running in a browser with zero client-side deployment that is maintainable using modern web tools and platforms.
Agile & Iterative — Modernize 3270 / 5250 user interfaces using DevOps principles.
Preserve IT Investment — New code is 100% functionally equivalent to the original green-screen application.
Reduce Technical Debt & Total Cost of Ownership — Deprecate functionality that no longer matters, and therefore, should not be modernized.
No Code Freezes — Continuous development of the 3270 / 5250 application while modernization is taking place.
Only Synchrony Systems has the ability to rapidly transform your 3270 / 5250 applications in an automated, consistent way with no screen scraping.
The standard rules library covers the commonly used patterns used in dumb terminal form design. The facelift plugin provides powerful and easy-to-use facelift pattern development tools to modify and create new, custom pattern rules to accommodate any layout variation that may come across from a text-based application. Patterns are color-coded to easily identify the various fields being transformed, and pattern matches can be visualized on the original form layout using the color-code pattern colors.
Facelift technology uses a model-driven-transformation approach, which turns a two-dimensional, text-based layout into a fully semantic UI model. Rich annotation tools and pattern-based, search/replace transformation rules, transform the original 3270 / 5250 dumb terminal model into a full-fledged, widget-based, modern web UI layout model. Previewing tools help iterate over the transformation process until the result matches the desired outcome, at which point the model finally emits the target HTML 5.0-compliant code.
A full list of forms displays current status and associated defects. They can also be filtered based on a specific property, status, or matched pattern.
Tagging rules extend an already powerful pattern matching capability using regular expressions to identify specific and custom fields inside forms. Patterns are matched against all application forms. Match statistic and the snapshot view enable tracking matches due to changes in pattern rules.
Using our technology, we can approach modernization in the way best suited for your future-state and business needs:
“As-Is” Transformation — 3270 in the browser supporting users
Standard Transformation — using CSS formatting, events, or widgets
Enhanced Transformation — using enhanced widgets or adding mashups for richer orchestration of UI
