Method, system, and computer-readable medium for managing a host session on a remote computer

A computer readable storage medium having computer-executable components for managing a host session between a client computer and a remote computer in a computer system, comprising:

• a plurality of properties files for defining a plurality of screens comprising screen data for the host session, wherein the screen data defined in at east one of the plurality of properties files for the host session comprises a plurality of field definitions for data appearing on a host session screen, the definitions including at least one of a field name and a flag indicating whether a field is read only or read/write;
• and
• a program file for,
• sending a request to establish the host session, the request including a presentation space;
• receiving in the presentation space a response to the request from the remote computer, the response including host screen data;
• identifying a response type for the response, wherein the response type is defined in at least one of the plurality of properties files, wherein the response type is one of success, analyze, and reject;
• and
• performing an action based on the response type comprising;
• if the response type is success, then processing the response;
• and
• if the response type is reject, then printing the presentation space to an errors file.

A method of managing a TN3270 host session on a remote computer in a computer system, the method comprising:

• sending a request to establish the host session from a client computer, the request including a presentation space, wherein the client computer has access to a plurality of Java properties files defining a plurality of screens for the host session;
• receiving in the presentation space a response to the request from the remote computer, the response including host screen data;
• determining a response type for the responses by comparing the host screen data to identifying text defined for the response in a response section contained in at least one of the plurality of Java properties files;
• if the response type for the response is defined as success in the Java properties files, then processing the response;
• and
• if the response style for the response is defined as reject in the Java properties files, then printing the presentation space to an errors file.

A method of managing a host session on a remote computer in a computer system, comprising:

• sending a request to establish the host session from a client computer, the request including a presentation space, wherein the client computer has access to a plurality of properties files defining a plurality of screens for the host session,
• receiving in the presentation space a response to the request from the remote computer, the response including host screen data;
• identifying the response by comparing the host screen data in the presentation space to screen data defined in at least one of the plurality of properties files for the host session, wherein identifying the response by comparing the host screen data in the presentation space to screen data defined in at least one of the plurality of properties files for the host session comprises determining a response type for the response by comparing the host screen data to identifying text defined for the response in a responses section of at least one screen properties file in the at least one of the plurality of properties files, wherein the at least one screen properties file defines the screen data for the host session, wherein the responses section comprises:
• a response type for the response;
• and
• identifying text for the response;
• and
• performing an action based on the identified response, wherein performing an action based on the identified response comprises:
• if the response type is success, the processing the response;
• and
• If the response type is reject, then printing the presentation space to an errors file.
