eQuate

Windows Application Development Tool
Interacting with ClearPath MCP and OS2200 Applications

eQuate enhances mainframe applications by introducing Windows® and Web functionality without the necessity of changing host programs.  With eQuate, host screens are associated with eQuate forms that are presented to the user. eQuate forms may house all the features and advantages to which Windows users have become accustomed, including action buttons, selection lists, option graphics, and more.

A completely self-contained development system, eQuate requires no other software to develop a total Windows application that interacts with existing or new host transactions. eQuate contains all the tools that are needed for easy implementation. From a quick screen scraping, capture utility to a sophisticated forms designer, eQuate provides a Visual Basic®-like development environment that allows fast transformation of host legacy applications to Windows. Other tools are provided to maintain eQuate applications and the registration of users that may access them.

With the latest release of eQuate, Version 3.5, users may run the eQuate Session Manager from a network server instead of having to install it on each user’s PC. The eQuate Developer still develops eQuate applications locally, but the new “publish” function allows for easy distribution to a shared file server of eQuate application databases, run-time programs, scripts, connection configurations and the network users setup program. Each user then runs the setup program from the server one time. The setup programs places a shortcut on the user’s PC linking to the eQuate applications and session manager on the server. Each time users run the eQuate Session Manager from the server they are guaranteed of getting the latest application and software enhancements, and without any intervention required on their part. And since nothing is installed on the user's PC, eQuate 3.0 is excellent for Unisys "Thin Client" application.

eQuate will work with applications on all Unisys ClearPath, Dorado (2200) and Libra (A-Series) systems. Developed eQuate applications may be implemented to execute from a file server or web server. Since the web solution offers access to eQuate applications from a web page, they are universally accessible ... all that is needed is a web browser and an internet connection.
