Developing a ZIETrans project
There are different paths you can take when building a ZIETrans application. You might want to build an application that allows an end-user to navigate the host screens in an emulator-like fashion, or you might want to build an application that uses Integration Objects to collect data from the host and present that data on a Web page. You can even combine host screen navigation in the GUI with host data collection using Integration Objects in one Web application.
You can see step-by-step examples of ZIETrans screen navigation and ZIETrans Integration Objects in the ZIETrans Tutorials section of the ZIETrans Infocenter at https://help.hcltechsw.com/zie/zietrans/2.0/index.html.
- Create a ZIETrans project, with default values, using a wizard in the ZIETrans Toolkit.
- Test the project using the local test environment.
- Make changes to the project. This process is known as customization. Common customization tasks are described in Customizing your ZIETrans project.
- Test the project again, and do more customization.
- Export the project to an application and transfer it to a production environment. These steps are described in Preparing your ZIETrans project for use as an application.
