Overview
Web-to-Host Wizard versions previous to version 4.0 created a single directory, or site, under which several launch pages
(or folders) were created. All of this information was maintained in the Wizard's configuration file. Web-to-Host Wizard
versions 4.1 through 5.1, can create multiple Web-to-Host sites and do not maintain any internal configuration information,
but instead, read files from the existing launch folders (and associated launch pages) to populate the Wizard's configuration
panels. This allows the Web-to-Host administrator to make changes and republish these pages without the risk of the Web-to-Host
Wizard becoming out of sync with the published pages.
There are three significant differences between the BlueZone Web-to-Host Wizard versions 4.1 through 5.1 (and above) and previous
versions:
|
• |
The previous versions allowed the configuration of a limited number of connection parameters, while requiring that the BlueZone
emulation clients be configured and saved separately for other parameters. Web-to-Host Wizard versions 4.1 through 5.1 and
above, integrate the launching of "live" BlueZone emulation client sessions into the process, allowing the BlueZone emulation
client configuration to be created and saved automatically.
|
|
• |
Web-to-Host Wizard versions 4.1 through 5.1 and above, have a built in web server allowing the Web-to-Host web pages to be
created and tested immediately, without having to run IIS or copy the files to another server to be tested.
|
|
• |
In addition to English, BlueZone emulation clients and Web-to-Host Wizard versions 4.1 through 5.1 and above, support French,
German, Dutch and Japanese. The language is selectable on a site-by-site basis so it is possible to create sites for specific
languages.
|
Web-to-Host Wizard versions 4.1 through 5.1 and higher, offer two options with regard to existing BlueZone Web-to-Host sites:
|
• |
Importing an existing site without upgrading BlueZone: Import an existing Web-to-Host site without upgrading the version of the BlueZone emulation clients. This allows older
Web-to-Host sites to be administered using the Web-to-Host Wizard version 5.1 or above, without affecting the version of the
BlueZone emulation clients users are currently running.
|
CAUTION
We do not recommend upgrading sites that are in production, but copy the production site to a new location then, performing
the upgrade. Users can be pointed to the new site once it has been tested.
