In Web-to-Host Wizard
Version 4.0 and earlier, the Wizard created a single directory, or
site, under which several launch 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. You can 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 Version
4.1 and other 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 Version 4.1 and later 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 Version 4.1 and later 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 Version 4.1 and higher, 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.
In Web-to-Host Wizard Version 4.1 and later, there are two methods
to handle existing
Web-to-Host sites:
- Importing sites 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 later,
without affecting the version of the BlueZone emulation clients users
are currently running.
- Upgrading sites and BlueZone: Upgrade an existing
Web-to-Host site and upgrade the version of the BlueZone emulation
clients at the same time.
CAUTION:
It is not recommended to upgrade sites that
are in production. Copy the production site to a new location then
perform the upgrade. Users can be pointed to the new site after it
has been tested.
