OL Terminal
Give teams instant browser access to 3270 and 5250 terminal screens without desktop emulators, not map descriptors or remote BMS/MFS hosts.
OL Terminal is a browser-based terminal access platform for IBM Z and IBM i environments that eliminates the need for traditional desktop emulators.
It provides secure 3270 and 5250 access, centralized session management, recording and auditing capabilities, and modern collaboration features, allowing organizations to simplify terminal access while improving productivity and operational control. OL Terminal is a terminal emulator for live green-screen sessions. It does not import BMS/MFS/DSPF maps or run map ScreenFlows (OL Screener / OL Next).
