aXes Mobile

This is the aXes-Mobile client component. You need to install the aXes Server component on your IBM i server. aXes Mobile provides mobilization and modernization capabilities for the enhancing the display of IBM i 5250 screens on mobile devices. aXes Mobile is an extension of the aXes product family (http://www.axeslive.com/) which allows 5250-applications running on IBM i (AS/400) servers to be instantly displayed via web browsers, with the option of extending and modernizing them. The mobile applications can be created and maintained by existing IT staff with IBM i skills. aXes-Mobile enables: - Multiple 5250-sessions to the same IBM i server: For example instantly swap and share data between Ordering, Customer Maintenance and Invoicing screens without navigating 5250 menus. - Multiple 5250-sessions to different IBM i servers: For instance instantly swap between CRM and ERP on different IBM i servers. Again, data can be shared between sessions. - Single signon to multiple 5250 sessions. - Enhanced function key and Enter key handling. Remember that mobile devices do not have function keys like 5250 devices or PCs do. - Integration with other corporate web pages - Running of queries over you IBM i's DB2/400 database - Automated configuration from URLs received via QR code, SMS or email. - Viewing and printing IBM i spool files. - Wireless printing directly from device. A server-side program can print to a wireless printer directly or with a preview. For example a 5250 RPG program can print an invoice or a receipt. - Photo and video capture and annotation. Images and videos can be captured replacing text, for example in issue or damage reporting, asset management, HR, OH&S, site or product inspections. Users can annotate images to increase understanding. - Camera Based Bar Code Scanning to speed up access to information. - Email, SMS, Phone and Voice integration with existing 5250 applications. - Copy to Clipboard and ‘Intelligently’ format and post data to the mobile device user’s clipboard. For example formatted product details on a 5250-screen can be posted as a response to a customer’s email inquiry. - PDF integration. Produce, display, print and locally save PDF documents. - Read and write data to the mobile device’s local file system. For example upload the daily schedule for a sales rep as a PDF for later offline access. - Upload local files to the IBM i’s IFS. - Download files from the IBM i’s IFS.
