IPS APPLICATION MIGRATION

ISIS

ISIS provides two different product families to create, edit, and print

AFP resources and documents:

•The ISIS OverView product family, which runs on a PC and connects to the mainframe via 3270 emulation session or the ISIS APPC module

•The Papyrus Document System which runs on multiple platforms and builds on the AFP architecture.

OverView AFP Designer

A program developed for AFP only, the OverView AFP Designer offers integrated development of an AFP application with multiple forms and PageDef data layout. This program is fully compatible with IBM OGL and PPFA and allows you to display and design using the actual print line-data file visible. The applications can then be printed through AFP on MVS, VSE, VM, AIX, OS/400, OS/2, and Windows platforms.

OverView Font & Image Editor

This program is a PC-based graphical editor for AFP fonts that supports the editing and generation of AFP fonts and page segment objects. It supports bounded box and unbounded box fonts in 240 dpi and enables the editing of characters, code pages, and coded fonts. It also includes double-byte character sets and 300 dpi support. The Image Editor includes a TIFF conversion utility.

OverView AFPDS Compiler

This feature is like having your own mainframe on your desktop. It completely emulates the functionality of the IBM OGL/370 and PPFA/ 370 products while enabling 300 dpi and color support for overlays. This product runs on OS/2, Windows NT, and Windows95 systems.

OverView Digitizer Pad Support

This program is an optional software feature that provides an interface for industry standard CAD drawing pads. It operates in parallel with the mouse, providing accurate position information from the existing form. As you digitize the form, the system creates OGL source code which can be printed without requiring a conversion.

OverView PageEXEC

PageEXEC is a stand-alone or PSF/2-integrated program component that executes the IBM PageDef description and converts a line data file to an AFPDS document file. It provides complete PSF functionality in an OS/2 environment, and also provides functionality of PSF/MVS and PSF/6000 transparently on the OS/2 platform. This product is also compatible with IBM’s AFP Conversion and Indexing Facility (ACIF), allowing you to generate the TLE index of a document.

Papyrus Designer

This product allows you to develop document applications using visual and graphical techniques. Papyrus Designer runs on your PC, allowing you to create forms, bar code applications, images, overlays, and page layouts. It incorporates the functionality of OverView AFP Designer for forms and PageDef design and the development component for multi-page statements.
