TITLE IBM LANFOCUS START/2 VERSION 1.0
ABSTRACT The LANfocus Start/2 (Start/2) program is a tool for planning
and managing the configuration of Operating System/2 (R) (OS/2 (R))
software and for enabling IBM configuration, installation,
distribution (CID) conventions for remote installation in an OS/2
local area network (LAN).
The Start/2 program runs on OS/2 Version 2.0 and provides an
object-oriented, graphical, Presentation Manager (R) interface for
configuration of IBM OS/2 software in a network. Network
"topologies" can be defined either using the drag/drop facilities of
the user interface or the migration capabilities of the product.
With the user interface, a network topology is created by
dragging and dropping nodes into a topology drawing area and
customizing their functional characteristics. To accommodate
existing conventions for workstation attributes such as node naming,
the Start/2 program can process an external "attribute value file".
The Start/2 program stores the definition of the network
either in a plain-text (ASCII) file or in a SQL database, which
requires the IBM Extended Services product.
The Start/2 program also includes a capability for migrating
existing configuration data into the Start/2 database. A separate
utility is used to collect configuration data at workstations running
Extended Edition 1.3, Standard Edition 1.3 with Extended Services or
LAN Server 2.0, or OS/2 2.0 with Extended Services or LAN Server 2.0.
Using the graphical facilities of the OS/2 2.0 Workplace Shell (TM),
the Administrator can drag/drop the resulting import files on a
network topology, causing the import data to be integrated into the
topology database. Consequently, existing networks can be
represented graphically by the Start/2 program.
To enable the implementation of IBM CID conventions for remote
software installation in an OS/2 LAN environment, the Start/2 program
builds REXX install files and helps the Administrator build
configuration Response Files for the IBM OS/2 subsystems LAN Server
3.0 (Entry and Advanced), Extended Services for OS/2, Extended
Services with Database Server for OS/2, and Network Transport
Services/2 Version 1.0.
The REXX files contain commands to invoke the install programs
of the software targeted for a workstation and are designed to be
processed by the LAN CID Utility of the IBM Network Transport
Services/2 product. CID-enabled applications are also supported in
these REXX files.
A Response File is a plain-text file containing keywords and
values that direct the installation and/or configuration of software.
The Start/2 program considers the complete configuration of each
workstation, including its position in the network, to calculate and
specify values for key configuration parameters in Response Files for
the OS/2 subsystems.
The LANfocus Start/2 product is one of a family of IBM systems
management offerings. For more information, refer to Programming
Announcements 292-579 and 292-580, dated October 6, 1992.
Planned Availability Date: November 20, 1992.

DESCRIPTION
SYSTEMS MANAGEMENT
The Start/2 program's primary contribution is in the area of systems
management. Specifically, the Start/2 program is a tool for planning
and managing the configuration of the OS/2 subsystems in an
environment implementing IBM CID conventions for remote
(across-the-LAN) software installation.
o LAN Server Version 3.0, Entry and Advanced.
o Extended Services for OS/2.
o Extended Services with Database Server for OS/2.
o Network Transport Services/2 Version 1.0.
NOTE: For a complete description of the features and requirements of
the IBM CID strategy for remote software installation, refer to
Programming Announcements 292-579 or 292-582, dated October 6, 1992.
Functionality
The Start/2 program provides an object-oriented, Presentation
Manager, graphical user interface for managing the configuration of
OS/2 LAN software. Using the Start/2 program, networks are comprised
of sub-networks or "topologies". A topology can represent any
logical segment of the network such as a department or a floor, or it
can represent the network in its entirety. The configuration of
workstations are managed within the context of the network topology.
Creating a Network Topology
The Start/2 program provides two methods of creating
topologies: using the drag/drop technology of the user interface or
"migrating" existing configuration information.
With the user interface, a network topology is created by
dragging and dropping a workstation object into a topology drawing
area, defining the workstations software and functional (and some
hardware) characteristics, and drawing the desired connections to
other nodes.
The Start/2 program is capable of representing workstations
with the following characteristics:
o Operating System
- OS/2 Version 2.0.
- OS/2 Extended Edition Version 1.3.
- OS/2 Standard Edition Version 1.3.
- DOS.
- DOS with Windows.
o LAN Function
- Domain Controller.
- Additional Server.
- OS/2 Requester.
- DOS LAN Requester.
o Database Function
- OS/2 Database Server.
- OS/2 Database Client.
- OS/2 Database Server and Client.
- DOS Database Client.
o 3270 Emulation (up to 10 sessions; 5 DFT, 5 non-DFT)
o Off-LAN (Host) -- Token-Ring, SDLC, DFT
o Applications -- The Start/2 program allows for the inclusion of
CID-enabled applications in the configuration of workstations.
o Adapter Types
- 3270 -- DFT, SDLC.
- LAN -- Token-Ring, Ethernet.
During the creation of the topology, the Start/2 program
interactively validates connections drawn between Remote Data
Services Servers and Clients, and between LAN Servers and Requesters
("If you can draw it, it's valid.").
The Start/2 program stores the resulting network configuration
information either in a plain-text (ASCII) file or in a SQL database,
which requires the Database Manager component of the Extended
Services product.
The Start/2 program also includes a capability for migrating
existing workstation configuration data into the Start/2 topology
database.
The Node Data Collector utility is used to collect
configuration data at workstations currently running
o OS/2 Extended Edition 1.3.
o OS/2 Standard Edition 1.3 with Extended Services or LAN Server
2.0.
o OS/2 2.0 with Extended Services or LAN Server 2.0.
The Node Data Collector utility builds an "import" file for
each workstation. The import file can be created on the hardfile of
the workstation, on a diskette, or the creation can be redirected to
a Server. When the files are made available at the Start/2
workstation, the Administrator can use the graphical facilities of
the OS/2 2.0 Workplace Shell to display them as a folder of
individual file objects. To integrate the import file data into the
Start/2 programs topology database, the Administrator simply drags an
import file object, a group of objects, or the folder object and
drops it on the topology.
Consequently, existing networks can be represented graphically
by the Start/2 program.
NOTE: The files that comprise the Node Data Collector utility are
required by version 2 of the IBM LAN Management Utility/2 product to
support the LMUGETCF command for collecting import files. To enable
the LMUGETCF command, OCUNODE.EXE and OCUNODE.MSG must be copied into
the appropriate LMU/2 directory accessible by each managed OS/2
workstation.
IBM Configuration Installation Distribution (CID)
In addition to providing an interface for network information
management, the Start/2 program enables the implementation of IBM CID
conventions for remote software installation by generating REXX files
and configuration Response Files for the OS/2 subsystems:
o LAN Server 3.0-Entry and Advanced.
o Extended Services for OS/2.
o Extended Services with Database Server for OS/2.
o LAN Adapter and Protocol Services (LAPS) component of the Network
Transport Services/2 product.
NOTE: For a technical description of the features and requirements of
the IBM CID strategy for remote software installation, refer to
Programming Announcements 292-579 or 292-582, dated October 6, 1992.
The REXX files generated by the Start/2 program contain
commands to invoke the install programs of the software targeted for
the workstation and are designed to be processed by the LAN CID
Utility of the Network Transport Services/2 program. One REXX file
is built for each workstation requiring an installation or
configuration update and is built as the Administrator specifies; for
a single workstation or group of workstations, for a single topology
or group of topologies.
In the generation of REXX files, the Start/2 program supports
CID-enabled applications in addition to the OS/2 subsystems. One of
the objects in the Start/2 program's primary folder is the
applications folder, which is provided as a convenient means for
keeping track of the applications. Multiple application folders can
be created or all the application definitions can be maintained in
one folder.
To create a new application object, the Administrator opens
the "template" folder, drags an application object template and drops
it into the applications folder. The application object can then be
opened to modify the settings as appropriate. In defining
applications to the Start/2 program, the Administrator specifies
information such as:
o Product title
o Product name
o Version
o Target path
o Name of the install program
o Name of the program's response file
o Required NetBIOS and 802.2 system resources.
To include an application in the configuration of a
workstation, the application object is dragged from the applications
folder and dropped on the workstation object.
A Response File is a plain-text file containing keywords and
values that direct the installation and/or configuration of software.
For each workstation requiring an installation or configuration
change to an OS/2 subsystem, the Start/2 program uses a set of tuning
algorithms to calculate values for key configuration parameters and
build a Response File for each subsystem. In calculating the
parameter values, the Start/2 program considers
o Function (server, requester, etc.).
o The requirements of co-resident software (including
applications).
o The requirements of dependent workstations (for example, the
number of LAN Requesters with connections to the Server).
o Adapter type.
To affect changes to the parameters not calculated by the
Start/2 program, the Administrator is allowed to imbed supplemental
(user-defined) Response Files in those generated by the program.
As with the REXX files, the Response Files are generated when
and as the Administrator chooses; for a single workstation or group
of workstations, for a single topology or group of topologies.
Usability
The value of the Start/2 program can be expressed in terms of
its ability to manage network configuration information as well as
its contribution to the CID environment. The user interface,
compliant with SystemView Integration Level 2, includes many features
designed to enhance the products usability as a system management
tool above and beyond the inherent usability of an object-oriented,
graphical user interface.
Some of the usability features include:
o Notebook controls
The Start/2 program organizes the storage of network
configuration information by "notebook". Each network, topology,
node and application, as well as the primary Start/2 folder, the
Delete Folder, the Transformers and any user-created folders have
a separate notebook. In most cases, the notebook of a particular
object is presented when the user double-clicks on the object
icon. Every notebook has the same controls for paging through
the information stored within it.
o "View"-oriented presentation
For simplicity and manageability, the Start/2 program
organizes the presentation of the network configuration into
three connection "views": the LAN view, the Database view and the
3270 view. Each view presents information relevant only to that
view. In the LAN view, for example, workstations with no LAN
function are displayed as generic node icons overlayed by the
international "not" symbol (circle with a slash). LAN
workstations are displayed with the appropriate LAN icon and
labelled with the node name or user name or other detail as
chosen by the Administrator. The presentation while in the other
views is similarly selective.
o Customizable node templates
To facilitate the creation of a network topology, the
Administrator is allowed to create customized workstation models
or "templates", which serve to minimize the amount of
customization required when the workstation object is dropped
into the topology drawing area.
o Node duplication (including connections).
If the configuration of a particular workstation,
including its connections, is significantly representative of
other workstations, the Administrator can choose to replicate it
up to 99 times. The Start/2 program will automatically generate
the necessarily unique attributes of each duplicate (like node
name, etc.)
o Find a Node
The Find a Node function is useful when your topology is
large enough that you have difficulty finding a specific node.
The procedure works like a text search in a word processor and
can search a variety of fields in the Node Settings notebook.
After entering up to 60 characters for a search string, the
Administrator chooses a radio button indicating what field of the
Node notebooks to search. The radio buttons include:
- Search node names
- Search node comments
- Search LAN adapter addresses
- Search user names
- Search machine locations.
o Autodraw
With autodraw enabled, connections are automatically drawn
from workstations newly dropped into the topology to the most
recently indicated Server.
o Deletions
The act of deleting an object from the network is
simplified by allowing the object to be dropped on the Delete
Folder. Until the Start/2 program is stopped (or the machine is
powered down), the information on any deleted item is kept as an
object in the Delete folder. To reinstate the object, the user
simply drags it from the Delete Folder and drops it back in the
topology.
o Transformers
The Start/2 program supports the use of "Transformer"
objects to simplify the act of requesting CID output. Separate
Transformer objects are provided to generate Response Files only
or both Response Files and REXX install files.
Using the Transformers, CID output can be requested for a
specific workstation, a group of workstations, a specific
topology or for a group of topologies simply by dragging the
object(s) (the workstation icon, for example) and dropping it on
the appropriate Transformer.
o Transformer status lists
Each Transformer provides a status view that displays four
status lists used to manage and track Transformer progress per
workstation. The four status lists are:
- Queue -- lists the workstations yet to be processed (in the
order in which they will be processed).
- Success -- lists the workstations successfully processed.
- Warning -- lists the workstations for which output was
successfully built in spite of some anomaly.
- Reject -- the workstations for which output was not
successfully built.
The status view includes other facilities for resolving
the causes of warnings and rejections.
It is through the status view that the Administrator is
able to get to the output files (Response Files and REXX files)
for viewing or editing.
Installability
The installation of the Start/2 program is a one-step process
and manages the necessary changes to the system files as a part of
the installation process.
The Start/2 program is also CID-enabled.
Maintainability
To provide for convenient problem determination and problem
source identification, the Start/2 program generates error logs using
first failure strategy. Each log entry identifies the component and
module that encountered the error and, where appropriate, the service
that was requested and the condition code the service returned.
Adaptability
Adaptability is enhanced through the support of applications
enabled for CID.
Additionally, the Start/2 program allows the use of a
user-supplied "attribute value file", which enables an Administrator
to control workstation attributes consistent with existing
conventions. The attribute file is a plain-text file with attribute
names and corresponding values in a format defined by the Start/2
program. To implement the values contained in the attribute file,
the Administrator drops the attribute file object on the desired
topology.
The attribute file can be used to control such attributes as:
o Token-Ring address
o SNA node ID
o Local node name and alias
o Database workstation name
o LAN Computer name.
Exploitation
The Start/2 program enables the exploitation of the systems
management features, that is, CID-enablement, of the OS/2 subsystems
and applications.
Also, the Start/2 program exploits the usability features of
the OS/2 2.0 Workplace Shell providing additional consistency across
user interfaces, which contributes to the overall manageability of
the system.
Standards and Architectures
The Start/2 program's user interface is compliant with the
SystemView Integration Level 2.
INVESTMENT PROTECTION
Functionality
The Start/2 program is designed to enhance the manageability
of OS/2 2.0-based LAN software.
For those customers with a current investment in OS/2 2.0, the
Start/2 program should reduce the workload as well as the
knowledge-level required of the System Administrator and support
staff for configuration management, which should enable the customer
to manage existing environments with a smaller support staff or grow
with the current staffing.
For customers with investments in earlier versions of OS/2,
who intend to upgrade, the capability of the Start/2 program to
migrate existing data into the Start/2 programs database enables the
upgrade with existing skills and hardware.
Adaptability
The adaptability of the Start/2 program, as described in the
systems management adaptability section (the ability to accommodate
CID-enabled applications; accepting a user-supplied attribute file),
should enable customers to manage existing network resources with
existing skills and hardware.
Standards and Architectures
The Start/2 program's user interface is compliant with
SystemView Integration Level 2 and exploits the usability features of
the OS/2 2.0 Workplace Shell, which provides for user interface
consistency across products minimizing the necessity of additional
education or training.
USER PRODUCTIVITY
In general, the Start/2 program is designed to enhance User
Productivity by reducing the amount of time and effort spent on
configuration management. The Start/2 program should enable both the
network Administrator and the workstation user to realize increased
productivity. To maximize the benefit to personal productivity, it
is highly recommended that the Start/2 program be used on a high-end
486-based personal computer.
Functionality
The Start/2 program provides for centralized system
configuration management, displacing the need for the Administrator
spending time at individual workstations gathering or manipulating
configuration details.
The interactive validation of connections drawn between Remote
Data Services servers and clients, and between LAN servers and
requesters, and the ability of the Start/2 program to calculate
configuration parameter values for the individual products using
knowledge of the complete configuration, together serve to reduce or
eliminate the need for the "trial and error" approach to workstation
configuration. As a result, the end user should realize increased
productivity through a reduction in downtime associated with
configuration or installation changes.
Usability
As a result of the extensive usability features of the Start/2
program, as described in the systems management usability section,
the Administrator should realize increased productivity through the
reduction of time spent on configuration management.
Installability
The Start/2 program supports CID-enabled applications by
providing a convenient method of associating the applications with
workstations and by including the applications in the REXX files
generated for the remote installation process. This support enhances
the installability of applications, which should further contribute
to user productivity.
Exploitation
Through compliance with SystemView Integration Level 2 and
exploitation of the usability features of the OS/2 2.0 Workplace
Shell, the Start/2 program provides a common, consistent user
interface, which should ease the adoption of the program without
impacting productivity.
