Accessing Mainframe/CICS

Overview

TEWeb is replacing BlueZone for connecting to the Louisiana Tech mainframe environment. This is where the CICS which runs the University’s student information system is housed.

The new TEWeb product is an HTML5 based product so the experience should be the same for any web browser that supports HTML5. Any browser published in the last several years should be HTML5 capable.

Recommended Clients

The Computing Center recommends the following combination of operating systems and clients.

Windows

You can connect to CICS using TEWeb by going to the following URL in your browser: emulator.latech.edu/TEWeb.

ZScope can still be used as an alternative to TEWeb by going to the following URL: http://emulator.latech.edu/zscope.

Mac OS

TEWeb is recommended for use on Mac OS using the following URL: emulator.latech.edu/TEWeb.

Zscope can still be used as an alternative to TEWeb at the following URL: http://emulator.latech.edu/zscope
