2025 IBM Corporation IBM WebSphere Host Access Transformation Services (HATS) HATS V7 Summary
Getting Started with HATS - IBM
PREFACE:This document provides a few guidelines relevant for Web application modernized using IBM HATS application that might help improve the performance of mainframe interactions. INTRODUCTION:A typical HATS based Web application consists of 3 componentsi. The Host (Mainframe or i-Series)ii. An Enterprise Application Server (e.g. IBM WAS) that hosts the HATS Web applicationiii. The client (typically a browser)When using a browser-based emulator embedded in the Web application using the HATS tool, the size of the HTTP response transmitted from the application server to the browser can grow quite large.The sheer size of this response influences the performance greatly. This is especially true when the Enterprise Application Server and the Client are physically distant. Further in this blog, we will look at two ways of reducing this response size and thus improve the application performance.Different solutions that might help improve performanceSolution 1: Transmit only the portion of data that the server manipulates.Consider below scenario:a. The HATS web application contains an embedded Default Transformation(DT) window and other complex customization.b. After the initial login, we want to download a DT window embedded in the application.If we use an AJAX request to retrieve this DT window, then by default, the whole template will be downloaded again. To reduce this network load, we can modify the web application to return only the DT content and not the whole template. One of the possible ways to achieve this is to create a blank template which contains only a call for default rendering of the HATS form.This makes the network payload much lighter as against embedding the DT response JSP to the application JSP on the server side and returning the bulkier application JSP as a response from the server. Solution 2: Compress the HTTP response from the application serverTransmitting the DT response JSP alone from the server is still a bulky payload. To further reduce the network payload size, we can rely on HTTP compression. For the convenience of developers, the HATS toolkit has added HTTP compression as a filter implemented in the product (from HATS 9.7 onwards). The HTTP compression in HATS makes use of the standard gzip format recognized by most popular browsers to decompress at the client end. Steps to apply HTTP compression.a. In the HATS ‘Project Settings > Other > Client Settings’, select the ‘Enable HTTP compression’ checkbox as shown. b. Now that the HTTP compression is enabled, the default ‘entry servlet’ response is compressed by default using the Compression filter implementation as shown below.

2025-04-22At school, which may make him the earliest hacker. But not everyone will count such rudimentary activity as a bonafide hack. Many other students with access to computers probably accomplished similar things around the same time.Who Made the First Antivirus?The first antivirus program, Reaper, was developed by Ray Tomlinson in the early 1970s. It was created to combat Creeper, the worm we discussed earlier. Reaper was much more simplistic than any modern antivirus, but it was able to accomplish its singular job: removing Creeper from infected devices. As more malware strains emerged (most far more destructive than the humble Creeper), antiviruses had to evolve to offer broader protection.Commercial antivirus solutions emerged in the 1980s, with companies like McAfee and Symantec paving the way for the industry. As time went on, other companies like Norton and Bitdefender threw their hats in the ring. A mainstream market of various antivirus solutions emerged, each with its own selling points.There are several great antiviruses out there nowadays (and many more that aren’t worth your time). My personal favorite, Norton, has the honor of being one of the oldest antiviruses of all time.Save 58% on Norton 360 Deluxe!Get Norton 360 Deluxe for only $49.99*!A Cybersecurity Timeline: Biggest Hacks & Most Important Moments1960s1967: The concept of computer security emerged as IBM developed the Compatible Time-Sharing System (CTSS), an early example of a multi-user operating system. This highlighted the need for access controls.1970s1971: The first virus, dubbed the Creeper Virus, is created as an experiment on ARPANET.
