The iSeries Client Access Family is a product designed for customers accessing iSeries
systems. The focus of iSeries Client Access is to bring all the power of the iSeries to the
end-user desktop and to tightly integrate its software into the desktop environment it is
running on. The iSeries Client Access Family includes the following functions:
• IBM iSeries Client Access Express for Windows Client
• iSeries Access for Web
• Websphere Host Publisher
Note
Client Access Express also ships with OS/400. The PC5250 display and printer emulation
and Data Transfer functions of Express require the iSeries Client Access Family (Product
5722-XW1). All other functions can be used without acquiring the iSeries Client Access
Family (Product 5722-XW1).

iSeries Access for Web (5722-XH1)

iSeries Access for Web is a new member of the Client Access Family that provides end users
a Web browser (Netscape, Internet Explorer) interface to access iSeries servers. iSeries
Access for Web is a set of servlets that run on OS/400 Java Virtual Machine (JVM) and
generate HTML output to a browser (such as Netscape or Internet Explorer). iSeries Access
for Web provides a subset of the capabilities provided in Client Access Express for Windows.
Its advantage is ease of deployment (no code to install or maintain on the end workstation). It
is designed for application users:
• That need either quick or infrequent 5250 access to application running on the iSeries
• Need to access DB2/400 data
• Work with OS/400 printer output
• Send/receive messages
