Tuesday August 24, 8:02 am Eastern Time Company Press Release SOURCE: New Era of Networks, Inc. NEON Introduces New Adapters for Terminals and Communication Protocols DENVER, Aug. 24 /PRNewswire/ -- New Era of Networks, Inc. (Nasdaq: NEON - news) introduced today two new adapters, NEONadapter for Terminals 2.0 and NEONadapter for Protocols 2.0. With these new adapters, NEON customers can use NEON integration servers with applications and systems that only have terminal or datastream interfaces. Both products work with MQSeries® Integrator for UNIX and Windows NT, and NEON MQIntegrator(TM) for MVS. Both are available immediately. ''These new adapters are the latest deliverables of NEON's Total Solutions Initiative. Our goal is to meet all of our customers' EAI needs so they can benefit from one stop shopping with NEON,'' said Peter Hoversten, senior vice president of product strategy for NEON. ''Furthermore, these products are based on technology that originated at CAI, a company we acquired last year. They demonstrate how we are combining these acquired technologies into a single, comprehensive business integration architecture.'' NEONadapter for Terminals 2.0 allows integration of console or GUI-based applications that must be accessed via terminal or graphical user interfaces. It supports more than 35 different terminal types, including the DEC VT-series, IBM 3270s and Tandem 6530s. The adapter requires no additional code for application connectivity and enables integration without any modification to the application. Key features of the NEONadapter for Terminals 2.0 include: -- Terminal Emulation (a.k.a. screen scraping): By creating a virtual operator, NEONadapter for Terminals uses terminal emulation to capture screen data from legacy systems and send it to the appropriate integration server. -- Graphical User Interface Emulation: NEONadapter for Terminals can integrate form-based GUI applications by allowing users to detect and interact with various components such as push buttons, list boxes, windows and scroll bars -- Drive Multiple GUI and Terminal Sessions: Users can launch multiple instances of NEONadapter for Terminals to drive different GUI and terminals sessions simultaneously. Users can perform load balance transactions or scalable load testing on a specific application -- Keyboard Event Emulation: NEONadapter for Terminals allows users to send keyboard strokes for inputs and updates to session oriented, terminal-based applications NEONadapter for Protocols 2.0 allows the integration of network datastreams via NEON integration servers. The adapter supports a variety of communication protocols, such as TCP/IP, LU 6.2, FTP and Teletype (TTY). It includes pre- and post-processing capabilities so users can consolidate and customize messages. Key features of the NEONadapter for Protocols 2.0 include: -- FTP Interface: NEONadapter for Protocols allows users to schedule file transfers between machines on a periodic basis. The adapter is configurable to recognize a target file or trigger off a flag file -- TCP/IP Interface: Users can configure NEONadapter for Protocols to interface to a system with a single port or multiple ports. For example, by specifying the ACK/NACK flags at the time of configuration, it can recognize discrete messages -- CPI-C Interface: Through the use of the Common Programming Interface- Communications (CPI-C), NEONadapter for Protocols allows users to communicate with mainframe applications using the LU 6.2 protocol and APPC -- Multiplex/Demultiplex Messages: NEONadapter for Protocols offers the aggregation and multipoint distribution of messages, enabling users to collect messages that arrive at different times or from different sources. The messages can then be enriched and sent as one consolidated message to a NEON integration server -- Customizable Error Handling: By configuring an in-queue application listener that is a component of the NEONadapter for Protocols, users can construct custom error handlers Availability and Representative Pricing NEONadapter for Terminals and NEONadapter for Protocols are available now for Windows NT 4.0, and support NEON integration servers running on UNIX, NT and MVS. Availability on Solaris, AIX, and HP/UX is planned for late 1999. Both adapters are compatible with MQSeries® Integrator for Windows NT and UNIX platforms, as well as NEON MQIntegrator(TM) for MVS. Pricing starts at $65,000 and includes one week of professional services.
