RED OAK SOFTWARE ANNOUNCES AVAILABILITY OF LEGACY MOBILE™ FOR IPAD V2.0

ENTERPRISE-CLASS IPAD CONNECTIVITY APPLICATION IS ENHANCED WITH PROFESSIONAL MACRO SUPPORT

MOUNTAIN LAKES, NJ, October 8, 2013 – Red Oak Software, Inc., the independent leader in legacy Application Integration solutions, announced today that it has released version 2.0 of Legacy Mobile™ for iPad to general availability. Legacy Mobile™ is an enterprise-level solution that enables intelligent legacy connectivity from any Apple iPad. It is an industrial strength business application that further extends the capabilities of the leading tablet in the marketplace.

Legacy Mobile™ is a fully-featured emulation solution for the iPad, providing access to all legacy IBM mainframe applications that support 3270 or 5250. The product comes in two versions, Legacy Mobile™ 3270 and Legacy Mobile™ 5250, each supporting its respective terminal type.

Unlike most 3270 and 5250 terminal emulators, Legacy Mobile™ is a “native” iPad application written entirely in Objective–C, enabling it to run anywhere iOS is installed. Legacy Mobile™ also has innate intelligence. It inherently understands 3270 and 5250 data flows, improving performance with the server. With a full understanding of communication protocols, Legacy Mobile™ knows what data to expect.

Legacy Mobile™ also understands the data contents of a 3270 or 5250 screen. It recognizes start and end of fields and what data types they contain. This allows your iPad application to more efficiently query and make decisions based on the actual z-Series or i-Series application. Legacy Mobile™ can also process multiple 3270 and 5250 sessions on your iPad.

As a native iOS application, Legacy Mobile™ also takes advantage of all the security features provided to native applications developed and run on the iPad.

Version 2.0 of Legacy Mobile™ now includes three products for each terminal type: Pro, Base and Lite. The new Pro version supports the most extensive User Macro functionality available for the iPad. In addition, all products in this version have numerous enhancements over prior releases.

• Legacy Mobile™ Pro–extends base functionality with the capability to record and execute sophisticated transaction macros, enabling users to quickly automate and more easily perform everyday manual tasks.


• Legacy Mobile™ Base–provides enterprise-class terminal emulation with unlimited access to any number of hosts.


• Legacy Mobile™ Lite–demonstration version that provides limited terminal connection time to a host.

• Full support for TLS/SSL host connections, improving security when connecting to hosts outside an enterprise's secure network.


• Improved runtime engine used to communicate with the host.


• Ability to record and execute transactions through a macro recording framework. The end user can now record repeatable transactions with any host and run them on command.


• Ability to record and execute transactions that span multiple screens, without limit.


• Ability to easily edit Inputs within the transaction, allowing the end user to modify dynamic data input before execution.


• Improved underlying storage of session and new macro framework information.


• Improved Bluetooth keyboard support.


• New user guide navigation.

Future plans are to release Legacy Mobile™ SDK, which will enable iPad developers to easily add legacy programmatic integration as a critical “under the covers” component to any native iPad application.
