Web Enabling Your HP 3000
Existing HP e3000-based PowerHouse 4GL applications can be Web-enabled with PowerHouse
4GL 8.29 to then run on the HP e3000 under PowerHouse Web 2.29 - with the same native access
to TurboIMAGE, ALLBASE/SQL, KSAM, MPE and ORACLE data that PowerHouse 4GL currently
provides. And because PowerHouse Web provides a Web-specific PowerHouse application serv-
er engine, all of the existing business rules in the application logic are protected and reused.
Additionally, the flexibility of the PowerHouse Web architecture enables the Web server sup-
porting these applications to be on any of the PowerHouse Series 8 platforms - such as the
HP e3000, UNIX (including the HP 9000) or Windows NT. Versions of PowerHouse 4GL and
PowerHouse Web for Windows NT can, like other Windows-based applications, use ODBC
drivers to access HP e3000-resident data - so enabling proof-of-concepts or portions of
existing PowerHouse 4GL applications to be built and deployed on low-cost PC workstations
and servers.
Further details of the productive, robust and flexible PowerHouse Web solution for your busi-
ness-critical Web applications can be found on the Cognos Web site at
