WEB Access Manager

The WEB Access Manager is an application that manages access to your server controlled web site and provides services to handle requests. This application consists of three major components.

The first is a set of WEB server service routines that handle CGI requests. These are a collection of COBOL routines that validate user signon, handle the connection management for any Browser, and handle all the [Submit] requests initiated by the user. These requests may be handled directly, passed to another server to be processed, or they can be logged as an E-Request Job to be dealt with when time permits.

The second component is a Windows GUI "Back-End" application that manages WEB User profiles, monitors access to the WEB site, and logs the requests that might be initiated by WEB browser. At any time, a query routine will display a list of all users connected, and show what functions are being performed. There is also an historic WEB Connect query that displays statistics over the past.

The third component is the E-Request Job Server. This program actually processes any requests that were placed in the job queue by the CGI routines. These jobs would typically require extensive processing requirements not suitable for execution by the CGI server, or requests that need to be processed on a different operating system, or those that can be done later. The WEB Request Server executes either under UNIX or Windows.
