Web Enabling Your HP 3000

Bradmark’s StarMan™
StarMan( takes CA-MANMAN into the future by bringing web-enabled functionality to this
HP e3000-based product. StarMan( eliminates the need for direct connection to the HP e3000,
and brings data processing for CA-MANMAN into the web environment via a unique distributed
processing model.
StarMan( supports the most popular CA-MANMAN modules, bringing point & click ease-of-use,
as well as offering functionality not currently available in CA-MANMAN packages, such as RMA
Authorization, Order Quotation, and Purchase Requisition. By bringing Windows functionality
to CA-MANMAN, StarMan( eliminates the common practice of generating multiple sessions for
data retrieval.
StarMan( utilizes a state-of-the-art GUI interface that brings a true client/server relationship to
the CA-MANMAN product. StarMan( works with the existing CA-MANMAN architecture, while
allowing true distributed processing. This is accomplished by utilizing the Quantum Transaction
Server (QTS), which is a native mode application running on the HP e3000 that fulfills the
requests from the clients. The server and the client can communicate in a predefined protocol
that enables web-compatible applications to function in a heterogeneous environment.
StarMan( utilizes this server, along with a highly secured firewall, to create browser-based appli-
cations that facilitate the e-services for the CA-MANMAN community.
