WebCUI Overview
WebCUI provides a quick and simple path to the web for the oldest type of legacy app: the Character User Interface (CUI). WebCUI allows you to deploy character-based apps in the browser without changing any code. WebCUI is a subsystem of the DWC and uses a specialized terminal component and termcap file to provide a fully-functional browser-based terminal emulator, allowing you to use terminal-based apps in the browser just as you would on a desktop.
Even with a character user interface, your app can still benefit from web deployment. Users can access your app from their browser, without needing to purchase, install, and maintain a terminal emulator, and without needing to perform software updates or local trouble-shooting. If you have a mature app with a character user interface (CUI), WebCUI lets you access the benefits of web deployment without rewriting your existing code.
Although WebUI also allows you to deploy CUI apps to the web, WebCUI can be a more cost-effective solution if you don't need any of WebUI's additional features.
In addition to SAM, WebCUI requires a WEBCUI license feature. WEBCUI feature line user counts can be lower than the BBj user count. Contact your BASIS sales representative for pricing and licensing options.
Access to this feature requires an active Software Asset Management (SAM) subscription. See Benefits of ‘Software Asset Management' Feature Line.
