This approach eliminates the need to customize the final look and feel of the resulting GUI, since all transformed screens will feature the “standardized” look, the company says in a June 2011 white paper “How to Execute AS 400 Applications in the Cloud.” However, Infinite Corporation maintains that customers can still customize their screens if they want to. The company says the GUI enablement component of Infinite Cloud uses “standardized templates” to render the 5250 data stream into a GUI. The Web application sever can run next to the RPG or COBOL applications on the IBM i server, or the whole environment can be moved to other servers using Infinite Corporation’s migration tools. The company says that its software “deploys the AS/400 data stream (5250) to an asynchronous ASCII stream and then launches the stream” from the Web application server. ![]() ![]() Infinite Corporation (formerly California Software) says the middleware component works with standard Web application servers such as Apache Tomcat, IBM‘s WebSphere Application Server, Red Hat‘s JBoss, and Oracle‘s WebLogic. The company claims that the software can take existing RPG and COBOL applications and deploy them to “the cloud” without doing any coding or buying new hardware. Infinite Cloud includes two components, including middleware that works with Web application servers and an on-the-fly GUI transformation component. ![]() Infinite Corporation last week announced Infinite Cloud, a new suite of software designed to repurpose IBM i applications for deployment from the cloud, and to transform 5250 green screens into Web interfaces along the way.
