You can try various functions -- including working with printer output and the options we provide. You can click on the 5250 tab, sign onto the iSeries, then start an RPG application called BOATS and run it. Start up a different another browser session to same url address above, and use the following User ID and password to sign into the Access for Water INEXPERIENCED USER page: • User ID of BOATADMIN • Password of DEMO2PWD This is an example of how a customer might design a web page for their use. You will see that an end user could start the same BOATS application by clicking on the 250 session -- or they could have used WebFacing or HATS LE to run the application. Click on all 3 links and see the same application in different views. You will also see other links that would let a user work with spoolfile information, work with IFS, run database requests, etc..
