What's new

Record and replay terminal TCP traffic

Administrators can capture the TCP conversation from 3270 and 5250 Terminal Client sessions as .trf files, then play them back in a mock browser session without the live host. The Recorded Traffic page lists, uploads, views, and deletes recordings. Starting a capture requires an admin grant, and mock replay does not us

Tabbed Admin workspace for hosts and endpoints

Adding or editing a host and its endpoints now opens a tabbed Admin workspace instead of stacked modal dialogs. Endpoint forms stay in a vertical layout, and only the open section is built—so large hosts stay responsive while you configure connection details.

Structured IMS-DB fields on BigID scans

BigID GRA scans of IMS-DB can decode DFSIOSEG segment bytes into catalog layout fields when the deployment flag is enabled, so classification sees structured columns instead of opaque bytes. IMS-DLI scans release the PSB session after each page so a long job does not hold batch resources.

Prepare COBOL programs for OL Screener remote CICS

A new Prepare COBOL workflow helps mainframe developers assess and adapt CICS COBOL sources before remote play. The console classifies member eligibility, applies OL Screener-oriented replacements, and saves results back to the mainframe.

IMS COBOL and MFS maps from source

AtomIQ now analyzes IMS-DC COBOL and MFS map source the same way it already does for CICS maps. Import .mfs members, preview device formats, and follow CBLTDLI calls as terminal I/O or DL/I segment access. Conversational programs show PF-key branches, CHNG switches, and SPA carry in the UI-flow graph—without a live IMS

IMS API bulk creation (Populate from IMS)

From IMS Browse, Populate from IMS lists transactions through Operations Manager, matches COBOL source, and reads request and reply layouts from DL/I calls. Add selected transactions to the IMS catalog, publish them, and consume REST System APIs with OpenAPI—or exclude MFS screen transactions after a one-time library s

Import map descriptors directly from the mainframe

You can browse mainframe data sets and pull BMS, copybook, and MFS members into OL Screener without manual download and upload. Global Settings supports z/OS RSE for catalog search, member preview, and import into the active operation's map inventory.

Import map descriptors from AtomIQ workspaces

Teams using OL AtomIQ can connect a workspace in Global Settings and import map metadata straight into an OL Screener application. Pick operations from a live AtomIQ workspace or upload a .atq export when offline.

Choose CICS or IMS backend per application

Each application now declares its remote screen backend—CICS over MQ or IMS Connect—at creation time. That choice is immutable and gates which map types you can import, so CICS BMS and IMS MFS descriptors stay aligned with the host transport.

Import screen maps from Atomiq

An enterprise install can connect to Atomiq and import BMS or DSPF maps into the workspace. An imported map replaces a TermIQ map with the same name.

Edit an asset in one session and save it as a single version

Asset Overview now has an explicit Edit mode. You can change the path, asset-level attributes, field display names, descriptions, lengths, additional attributes, and redefine identifiers together, then Save once. That sitting produces exactly one new asset version — or none if you put values back. Historical versions s

Deploy the web console on z/OS USS

Operations teams can deploy the OL Screener fat JAR to z/OS USS using the checked-in mainframe scripts. Configuration and deploy steps mirror the olcode pattern so you can run the console closer to CICS, MQ, and IMS Connect endpoints.

OL Screener 1.0.0 alpha — remote map APIs without terminal emulation

OL Screener is available in alpha with the core surfaces teams need to expose CICS/BMS and IMS/MFS map programs as named-field APIs. Configure Global Settings for IBM MQ or IMS Connect, import BMS+copybook or MFS map descriptors, and drive live sessions from the interactive Player map grid.

Public conversion support matrix in Help

Help now includes a public conversion support matrix. Teams can filter by construct and status to see what OL Next converts today, which items are limited, and which are planned. The in-product guide also covers CICS COBOL and IMS COBOL program types in the same place.

Reusable screen subflows in Screens Flow Methods

You can now extract shared 3270/5250 screen logic into a subflow and call it from a main screens method. Pick the subflow in the mapping wizard, map fields into its input (and from its output), and keep tagged project versions immutable when a subflow is copied by value. Follow-up fixes harden Map To for subflow I/O an

Flows can include loops, conditions, and expressions

AI flow analysis can turn a repeated screen cycle into a loop, branch with a condition, and add an expression when a list screen selects a table row. An error path can be published as a separate method output.

Application configuration for screen recognition

Account, then Settings, holds screen naming, tag recognizers, snapshot capture, and a test against a stored snapshot.
