2.0 Evaluation Scenario

This scenario provides some context for using the Reflection for the Web Launcher and other features in Reflection for the Web 13.2.

The Evaluation Scenario

As an administrator, you are in charge of setting up Reflection for the Web to deploy secure sessions to mainframe applications via the web. You’ve been tasked with meeting the company requirements.

2.1 Company requirements

Your organization wants to:

  • Eliminate the need for Oracle’s JRE and/or the Java browser plug-in.

  • Ensure the end-user experience is not disrupted by the change.

2.2 To meet these requirements

You can meet the company requirements by using the Reflection for the Web Launcher in Reflection for the Web 13.2.

  • The Reflection for the Web Launcher enables administrators to create and edit Reflection for the Web sessions that users can launch — without the need for Oracle’s JRE or the Java browser plug-in.

  • Users can launch a Reflection for the Web session by clicking a link in their Assigned Sessions list.

To evaluate the Reflection for the Web Launcher, you will

  • Install Reflection for the Web 13.2 (and MSS 12.8).

  • Download and install the Reflection for the Web Launcher on the administrator workstation.

  • Create, launch, and configure a Reflection for the Web session.

  • Assign and deploy the session to a subset of users.

  • Distribute the Reflection for the Web Launcher to those users.

  • Test the user experience.

Continue with the Configuration Steps.

2.3 Our assumptions

  • User workstations do not have the Java plug-in.

  • User workstations have the company’s browser of choice.
