The Screens shots below illustrate a common business situation where a user would like to do an advanced query of a legacy sales database, but he or she is only able to query information one field at a time. Classic telnet access to character-based sales database. The following screen illustrates how the developer has added functionality to the database. Now the user can query the database by multiple fields simultaneously. Data loading constraints are created that provide the user with greater flexibility and functionality when using the sales database.
Text is scraped from the database and placed in the new Visual Basic interface.
When the user runs the sales report, the data loading constraints scrape information from the appropriate spaces in ICE.TCP Pro s telnet session and place them in fields created in the new interface. On the following screen, the developer has hidden the Pro telnet session from view so the user won t become confused. Telnet screen is hidden from view and instead provides a link to the corporate Intranet. Data from legacy UNIX database is transparently integrated with the user's Access database. Once the data is grouped, ICE.TCP Pro s ActiveX control allows the developer to seamlessly and transparently transfer the data to another application like Access, Excel, ACT, or Word.
