About LOF Enterprise

LOF Enterprise is a powerful integration software designed to streamline data management and automate business processes.

LOF Enterprise is a specialized legacy system integration and host access solution from Yrrid Software that helps organizations modernize and extend mainframe and midrange applications without having to rewrite them entirely. At its core the platform is a suite of development and deployment tools that includes model–based screen scraping, API generation, and secure terminal emulation components designed to bridge older systems with modern interfaces and applications. LOF Enterprise lets developers use the LOFModeler to capture important functions from legacy systems, encapsulate them into models, and then expose those functions as clean APIs that modern front‑ends such as web applications, Java or .NET systems can call. This API‑first approach means teams can build new user interfaces without directly changing critical legacy code. The platform also includes Cables and Cables.Web, secure terminal emulators that provide access to host systems either through desktop clients or web browsers, helping users work with these systems while new integration components are being developed.

Pros & Cons

Pros
  • Enables seamless integration of different software systems and applications
  • Enhances data sharing and communication between various departments
  • Provides real-time data updates and synchronization
  • Reduces manual data entry and human errors
  • Improves decision-making through access to accurate and up-to-date information
Cons
  • Primarily focused on legacy screen integration and terminal emulation, not full‑featured iPaaS or data transformation platforms.
  • Setting up models and APIs can require specialist knowledge of legacy systems and protocols.
  • Modernization requires careful planning and incremental rollout to avoid gaps in access.
  • Documentation and ecosystem around the product may be less extensive than more recent legacy integration solutions.
  • Does not inherently include built‑in analytics or workflow automation features typical of newer enterprise integration tools.

Features

Key features

Legacy Mainframe Integration Framework

Enables modern applications to access and interact with host systems such as IBM zSeries, AS/400, Unisys, and other legacy platforms through a structured integration layer.

Model‑Based API Generation

Uses the LOFModeler tool to build models of legacy systems and automatically expose their functions as APIs that modern front ends can call.

Secure Web Terminal Emulation

Provides a secure, browser‑accessible terminal emulator (Cables.Web) that allows users to interact with legacy systems when a model or API function is not yet available.

Desktop Terminal Support

Includes a high‑performance terminal emulator for desktop environments alongside web‑based access.

Multi‑Tier Deployment Architecture

Supports peer‑to‑peer LOF servers managed by a directory server, balancing load and ensuring scalability and high availability.

Additional features

Legacy Host Protocol Support

Works with terminal protocols such as TN3270, TN5250, VT and more to connect with a wide variety of legacy systems.

Incremental Modernization Path

Lets organizations deploy new front‑end applications while still accessing the legacy system during development, reducing risk during modernization.

Secure Communications

Supports multiple encryption standards for communication between modern front ends, emulators, and legacy hosts.

Cross‑Platform Server Deployment

LOF servers can be deployed on Windows, Linux, or Solaris to meet different infrastructure needs.

Error Handling and Session Management

Includes mechanisms to detect timeouts, disconnects, and unexpected host screens while maintaining access through fallback emulation.
