Module recap

You have completed Module 2. Creating the WebFacing project. You have learned how to:

You have created a WebFacing project and in this project you specified which display file source and panel group source to convert and which iSeries server these source members are located on. The WebFacing Tool will use this information during the conversion process. You have to specify in this next module whether you want to convert all source members belonging to this project or selected ones only. A word regarding security, in case you are wondering, why you don't have to logon to the iSeries server during conversion. Your user ID and password have been stored during the WebFacing project setup and will be re-used here. Continue to Module 3. Converting selected source members.
