Screens projects
Screen projects are used:
- When the legacy screens application can’t be modified and the business logic is mixed in the Screens layer.
- There is no access to the source code of the legacy screens application.
- There is a need to quickly generate a project that can be used as a temporary solution until the legacy screens application is replaced.
This is 3270 / 5250 terminal automation (tn3270-style sessions), not BMS/MFS map APIs.
See Screens SDK and Screen entity.

When to use a Screens SDK project: terminal-only 3270/5250 logic with no program source.
