ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 5. IBM LAN Software Overview ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
This section contains the following topics:
o IBM OS/2 Workplace Strategy
o Customer Closeups
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 5.1. IBM OS/2 Workplace Strategy ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
Making decisions about which hardware and software to buy is daunting when
about 200 new products are announced every week. When shopping for products, we
all look for software that is compatible with our current hardware and
software. We also want to keep up with new technology that promises to provide
better ease of use, more capabilities, and an increased overall efficiency to
our business systems. The dilemma is to make the right choices that allow us to
continue using the products we have today, and at the same time, allow us to
move toward future technology.
IBM is currently building upon the compatibility, usability, and advanced
technology that Operating System/2 (OS/2) offers. Customer feedback has helped
IBM draw plans for future software that will enable you to:
o Access data through a more natural interface for greater productivity
o Share information across departments and locations
o Capture new business opportunities using timely software solutions
o Easily integrate, use, and manage networks
o Protect your investment in hardware, software, and skills
o Implement technology at your own pace as your business or personal needs
grow
IBM Personal Software Products has formulated a strategy for developing
products that will make use of IBM Workplace technologies. Workplace is the
name, not for an operating system, but for a set of new operating system
technologies that will fill your needs by making IBM systems more portable,
interoperable, and scalable.
Workplace technologies are innovations that IBM will share across the OS/2,
OS/400*, and AIX* products. IBM will integrate state-of-the-art elements that
are necessary for truly seamless distributed computing. At the same time, IBM
will support and enhance these products, protecting your investment in
existing systems and applications.
Workplace: Based on How You Use and Share Information
Workplace is designed around the way you work, who you share information
with, and where your information is located. Its standards and technologies
resolve much of the complexity caused by the diversity of hardware and
software available today for personal computers. Workplace aims to simplify
the decisions you must make when you purchase hardware and software.
Workplace's Open Standards Give You Choices
IBM Personal Software Products provide software that is usable on multiple
hardware platforms, such as both Intel** and RISC microprocessors, and with
applications from multiple vendors. Workplace can accomplish this because
it combines IBM technology with open industry standards supported by key
industry vendors. The important thing to remember about IBM Workplace is
that it is not proprietary. You will benefit by being free to choose the
best products in the marketplace for your particular business or personal
needs. IBM Workplace enables you to combine products to form the best
solutions for your needs in ways not possible before.
Elements of the Workplace Solution
The Workplace solution offers products that contain these elements:
o Consistent and natural user interfaces that enhance your productivity
o High-quality, reusable software delivered to users more quickly through
object technology
o Software that is portable across multiple hardware platforms to
accommodate the most diverse business systems environment
o Local area network software that facilitates sharing information with
co-workers and is easy to manage across multivendor hardware and software
IBM LAN Systems Strategy
All elements of Workplace are described in other papers and publications
such as IBM Workplace Software Strategy - Creating New Possibilities. (IBM
Workplace Software Strategy - Creating New Possibilities, G326-0451, can be
ordered by calling 1-800-879-2755, in the US; or in Canada,
1-800-465-1234.) The following information focuses on the LAN Systems
element of the Workplace Solution and how the current products fit in the
workplace.
When you install a local area network, the expectation is normally that it
will function better as a business solution than multiple disconnected PC
systems. To support this expectation, IBM's LAN System strategy is based on
the fundamental view of the "LAN as a System". IBM is the leader today in
being able to deliver this view of the LAN with its offerings of hardware,
operating system, networking software, database, communications, and end to
end product service.
Simply put, "LAN as a System" means that the hardware and software used in
a local area network is more than a collection of parts called servers and
clients. It is a single logical grouping of applications, data, and
hardware resources. Viewed as a system, the whole is greater than the sum
of the parts. This system view drives all of IBM LAN Systems development.
It means, for example, that a user should have a consistent view of system
resources: printing a document is done the same way whether the printer is
locally attached or on a server. It means that the physical location of
data need not be known by the user, and changes to the location can be made
without affecting the user. It means, finally, that the LAN can be
operated and maintained as a single secure entity.
The basic value of the LAN is still being able to share resources among
users. This sharing is a standard part of most LAN systems today. But
today, the capability of sharing is presumed to be as trustworthy as
storing data on a diskette was in the 1980s. To this end, the user must
have confidence in the fact that data stored on servers is safe, secure,
and accessible. The new technologies from IBM allow users to share
resources, knowing that the data is as safe as if it were on their own
systems.
For many, the business environment today dictates much greater reliance on
the LAN for much more than resource sharing. Business changes like the
following are requiring businesses to rethink their information technology
requirements:
o Profit margins are shrinking.
o Business reengineering is necessary to remain competitive.
o Technology-based services are being used as competitive offerings.
o PC use is expanding to business related applications.
o Business organizations are becoming flatter and the "empowered employee"
is emerging.
To effectively address these and many other changes in the business
environment, IBM's strategy for LAN Systems is targeted at three primary needs
for the LAN as a System:
o Access to data anytime, anywhere
o Investment protection
o Industrial strength LAN
Access to data anytime, anywhere
The users of LAN Systems require access to many information resources from
their workstations. They need a set of solutions that provide this access
from their current OS/2-, DOS-, DOS with Windows**-, or Macintosh**-based
workstations. The IBM LAN Systems solutions provide similar levels of
support for all client types with the richest support provided to the OS/2
user.
Modern business applications can be distributed throughout networks of LANs
and hosts. This distribution can also be across multiple-vendor LAN
systems. The IBM LAN System strategy and products address this distributed
access by providing industry-standard technologies that are adopted by many
of the leading LAN system providers. Product examples include:
o IBM LAN System solutions provide both relational database (DATABASE 2* or
DB2*) and transaction processing support (Customer Information Control
System or CICS*) that permit applications using them to work in a variety
of hardware and software platforms, including OS/2 and AIX.
o The IBM LAN Server family of products (OS/2 LAN Server, LAN Server/400,
LAN Server for AIX, LAN Server for MVS and VM) provide a consistent
access to services across the IBM hardware and software platforms,
shielding the user from concerns about specific locations of information.
o The Distributed Computing Environment (DCE) products for AIX and OS/2
interoperate with other vendors' implementations of the industry-standard
distributed computing technology.
o The IBM LAN Distance* family and the IBM Distributed Console Access
Facility products provide remote, transparent LAN access using
nondedicated phone lines.
Investment Protection
The LAN System strategy helps ensure that IBM customers who implement LAN
solutions have the greatest possible investment protection for their
current systems investments and that future investments are protected even
if other vendors' solutions are chosen.
IBM LAN System solutions allow users of most workstation operating systems
to maintain their investments in current applications, training, and
hardware. The user can simply install the LAN support to get the benefits
of sharing new applications while maintaining all of the functions
available with the DOS, DOS with Windows, Macintosh, or OS/2 operating
environments.
Where customers have installed NetWare** 2.x and 3.x or Microsoft** LAN
Manager network operating systems, IBM provides a set of migration tools to
reduce the need for costly conversion of data and user definitions when
moving to the IBM LAN Server product. Investments in IBM LAN systems allow
the freedom of choice in future additional technologies provided by other
vendors who implement industry-standard solutions, as well as new IBM
offerings based on Workplace.
Industrial strength LAN
The LAN must not only appear to the user as a single system, but it must
provide the reliability and availability of a single system. To provide
this, IBM has built its LAN systems on the proven and reliable operating
system bases of OS/2, AIX, and OS/400.
In addition to running on an operating system designed to provide high
application availability, products like the LAN Server were designed with
levels of data protection, ranging from periodic replication ability to
fault tolerance features for disk mirroring and duplexing. Support for
uninterruptible power supplies that reduce external factors is also
provided in LAN systems.
To predict when problems might occur and to address many of them when they
do, a family of IBM system management products called NetView* are
available to address the small LANs to the largest host attached LANs. The
NetView family of products also includes software distribution capabilities
to reduce the likelihood of a user having the wrong software installed on a
LAN workstation.
Summary
IBM has a strategy for developing products that will make use of Workplace
technologies. The Workplace technologies will be shared across the OS/2,
OS/400, and AIX products. One of the key elements of the Workplace solution
is the local area network, which facilitates sharing information with
coworkers and provides easy management across multivendor hardware and
software. IBM LAN systems provide this element with a full set of current
products and emerging technologies, as well as support and service.
IBM service for LAN systems is structured and priced to best fit your
requirements. After the initial support period for IBM products, you can
choose the level of support based on your individual business needs. If the
level of support is not known, support can be purchased on an as needed
basis initially, and then changed at a later date.
The IBM LAN Systems strategy is to provide products, services, and support
that allow customers access to data anytime and anyplace, that protect the
investment in LAN systems, and that are industrial strength. IBM's view is
that of the LAN as a system.

area, needed to talk to each other. To operate efficiently and
economically, they had to consolidate their operations and communicate on a
real-time basis.
To solve the problem, they decided to use IBM LAN Server, IBM LAN NetView
Management Utility for OS/2, and IBM OS/2 2.1 to link their three hospitals
to an IBM AS/400* and an IBM RISC System/6000* in a central location.
Attached to the AS/400 and RISC System/6000 is a Token-Ring Network with
125 PCs running OS/2 2.1. Users have multiple sessions going to the AS/400,
RISC System/6000, and IBM OS/2 LAN Server for Word Perfect and Lotus**
applications. They also have some specific PC-based applications running on
OS/2 LAN Server.
For Upper Valley Medical Centers, the AS/400 stores information including
all financial information, patient care information, and all transcription
information from history and physicals to radiology exam reports. Lab
operations have had a marked increase in efficiency since the new system
came online nearly a year ago.
Physicians now have instant access to all patient information so they can
make faster decisions about treatment and care. Patient bills are more
timely and accurate, and transcribed information can easily be retrieved.
A Fresh Look at Manufacturing Floor Automation
RJR Packaging company on the east coast has what can honestly be described
as the manufacturing floor of the future. They specialize in making
containers that maintain product freshness. When you see a laminated lid on
a yogurt container, or a foil pack containing film, or a pack of
effervescent headache tablets, chances are RJR Packaging had something to
do with the containers.
Their $270 million-a-year business, with two manufacturing locations and a
research and development location, has manufacturing floors that operate
at absolute peak efficiency. They've reached that elusive goal of doing
more with less. That's because through the use of IBM's OS/2, LAN Server,
Communications Manager/2 and an application called "Factory Link for OS/ 2"
from U.S. Data, plant employees can keep track of orders (on a real-time
basis), monitor machine output, and have easy access to data kept on remote
mainframe computers.
When an order is received at RJR Packaging, it is placed in a mainframe
production order and scheduling system. This makes it instantly available
to the operator on the production floor through IBM Communications
Manager/2. FactoryLink for OS/2 then steps in to load machine setpoints for
the order, then monitors actual process conditions and passes this data
back to DATABASE 2 OS/2 for later analysis, if necessary. Problems and
solutions concerning an order or machine are frequently entered by the
operator in to Lotus Notes** mail or added to a Notes discussion database
thereby enhancing communication across shifts and between plants. No more
"reinventing the wheel" when a similar problem occurs on another press or
at another plant. It's a good thing everything is running on a system
designed for true multitasking and smooth communications.
Should an order change at any time prior to final shipment, the new
information is instantly relayed to the PC controlling the machine assigned
to the job. Need a hard copy of the change? Production planning or the
operator simply print the new changed order at the machine's printer using
OS/2's LAN printing utility program. No more lost order adjustments or
changes getting to the manufacturing floor too late to act upon. In fact,
due to their increased manufacturing efficiency, RJR Packaging now
routinely takes on smaller jobs that just a few years ago would not have
been profitable. That is the advantage of real-time processing.
Perhaps the biggest advantage of this OS/2-based solution, however, is that
it has resulted in significant savings for RJR and, especially, its
customers. With LAN Server and Communications Manager/2, RJR Packaging has
raised manufacturing to a higher level.
One-Stop Banking
There is nothing more frustrating than calling a customer service
representative and being told the information you want is either
unavailable at the moment or that you'll have to call another number.
Officers at a major bank vowed that would not happen to their customers.
They wanted a system with information about everything their bank had to
offer at the fingertips of their customer service representatives. They
wanted their system to be fast and accurate. They wanted it to be able to
gain access to any and all information, whether it be in the branch
office's computer, or in the mainframe back at the home office. They wanted
the system to be easy to use, the simpler the better. And they wanted
hundreds of customer service representatives to be able to use it at the
same time.
IBM accepted their challenge to design a system that would do all that for
them and IBM delivered. Using IBM OS/2 2.1 and its easy-to-use graphical
user interface and multitasking as a platform, IBM OS/2 LAN Server 3.0 to
tie together networks connecting service reps scattered over several
states, and IBM Distributed Database Connection Services/2* (DDCS/2) and
IBM DATABASE 2 OS/2 (DB2/2*) to provide connectivity between the host
system and the workstations, their new system did all they had hoped for
and more.
Now, when customers call, they can expect to get all the answers, to all
their questions, with just a single phone call. And thanks to DDCS/2 and
DB2/2, all the bankapos.s computers, no matter where they are, can talk to
each other.
Major U.S. Trucking Company Keeps Rolling with LAN Distance
A truckload, dry van carrier is on top now, but it has not been easy. At
one time they faced a serious dilemma. Their mainframe applications were
not meeting the needs of their customer service representatives and sales
force. The company needed a way to have everybody, office and field workers
alike, connected to their database on a real-time basis.
The solution was to develop a client/server application to allow the
service representatives to gather data from the host repository and
manipulate it at workstations or in the field. That would enable the
representatives and sales force to give better service and more timely
information to their customers. Using IBM OS/2 2.1, IBM OS/2 LAN Server 3.0
and IBM LAN Distance, they developed a custom application that does all
they hoped for and more. Not only has their new application kept everyone
at their 100 locations across the country working efficiently, it has been
a boon to the sales force in the field.
Imagine trying to keep thousands of trailers and tractors on the road and
productive at all times. That was the enormous task facing the trucking
company. They had to keep all their equipment in use, and to do that, the
sales people in the field needed an edge.
IBM provided that edge. With hand-held Think Pad computers and OS/2, paper
is eliminated. All information needed for a sale is in the computer. No
more forms to fill out or rate schedules to keep track of.
But that was not enough. In the normal course of working out a sale, rates
had to be manipulated and deals struck, sometimes at the customer location
or even in a restaurant. There had to be a way for the sales
representatives to contact the home office and let them know what was going
on. And since much of what was being agreed upon involved sales
representatives in other parts of the country, there had to be a way to
contact them too.
That is where LAN Distance came in. Now, using ordinary phone lines and
their Think Pads, the sales representatives communicate with each other and
tie into the LANs connecting the home office computers. And the stability
and multitasking capabilities of OS/2 allows sales representatives around
the country to work on sales concurrently, with no waiting or down time.

ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 7.1.1. IBM OS/2 LAN Server 4.0 Entry ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
Ken Macken, President, Product Logic, wrote "IBM LAN Server 4.0 represents a
fundamental shift in IBM LAN System's strategy. The product redefines the IBM
customer to include any company that needs a network operating system. The new
product's innovative graphical user interface, easy installation, high
performance and reasonable hardware requirements make LAN Server 4.0 a viable
NOS for offices of all types, sizes and budgets. Frankly, I'm highly
impressed."
The OS/2 LAN Server family provides several benefits, including:
o Access to file and print on all IBM platforms from LAN Server clients
o Peer capability for additional flexibility in sharing printers and files
o Network clipboards, cut and paste across the network
o One user interface from a LAN Server client to the IBM disk and printers
OS/2 LAN Server 4.0 Entry and LAN Server 4.0 Advanced utilize the power and
the industrial strength of the award-winning OS/2 operating system.
DOS/Windows and OS/2 Requesters available for both servers have been improved
with full graphical user interfaces (GUIs), a new messaging system, and memory
savings. Networked DDE and Clipboard extend the collaborative nature of the
OS/2 and Windows requesters. An extension to LAN Server Entry and Advanced,
LAN Server for Macintosh continues to provide Macintosh clients access to LAN
Server.
OS/2 LAN Server 4.0 Entry, with its enhanced usability, presents an affordable
solution for small- and medium- size businesses, where shared resources must
be available to OS/2, Windows, and DOS clients. In addition to server access,
DOS, Windows, and OS/2 LAN Server 4.0 requesters include limited peer support
that provides the ability for clients to informally share local resources with
other LAN Server 4.0 requesters. OS/2 LAN Server 4.0 Entry requires a minimal
hardware investment and supports NetBIOS and TCP/IP over Token-Ring, Ethernet,
and FDDI. LAN Server 4.0 Entry features enhanced usability, a new publication,
an extended list of supported network adapters, and new features. OS/2 LAN
Server 4.0 Entry eliminates the need for a dedicated server because the server
machine can be used as a workstation, capable of running OS/2, Windows, or DOS
applications.
OS/2 LAN Server 4.0 Entry and Advanced share the features provided in earlier
versions. Among the more significant capabilities are:
Single System Image
A domain is the logical grouping of one or more servers in a LAN. This
grouping is defined by a network administrator. This association allows a
user to log on to a domain and gain access to resources on the individual
servers. Once logged on, Single Systems Image allows the user to view both
local and remote resources as if the resources were all part of the local
workstation.
Remote Administration
The network administrator can perform administrative tasks on a given
domain from an OS/2 requester on the LAN. The network administrator creates
and maintains the domain definitions centrally stored in the domain control
database on the domain controller, a role given to one of the servers in
the domain at server installation time.
UPS support
The Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) support provides warning and orderly
server shutdown facilities when used with a compatible, uninterruptible
power supply available from a variety of vendors. The power supply signals
the software through the serial port.
Remote Initial Program Load (Remote IPL)
Remote IPL supports workstations with or without local media in both a DOS
and OS/2 environment. The Remote IPL feature mimics the normal boot
process of a PC booting from a local drive with several slight variations,
which allow the boot information to come from the network rather than from
the hard file or diskette drive. Remote IPL for both DOS and OS/2 is
supported over Token-Ring, PC NET, and Ethernet.
Redirected install
The Configuration/Installation/Distribution (CID) feature of the OS/2 LAN
Server 4.0 product enables the installation of requesters and servers in a
remote and unattended manner. Remote installation is a form of redirected
install that supports loading code on workstations over the LAN from a
designated code server.
Peer Services
Peer Services is a feature that gives a DOS, Windows, and OS/2 requester
file, printer, and serial device access to another requester on the same
LAN. The server need not be present to run. Peer Services allows the
owner to share directories, one printer queue, and one communication-device
queue (OS/2 only) with other users on the network. It lets one user at a
time connect to (that is, create a session with) the peer.
The following list describes more details about the new enhancements and
features of both the Entry and Advanced versions:
Simplified LAN Manual: Up and Running!
The manuals previously shipped with LAN Server are easily accessible
online. A newly designed book has been included, which provides answers to
more than 80% of the questions encountered within the first 30 days during
the installation and administration of LAN Server 4.0. The redesigned
documentation reduces support requirements of installation.
Drag and Drop Administration
The LAN administration interface to LAN Server has been augmented with a
drag and drop interface. This allows for the creation, change, and deletion
of users, groups, and resources, as well as assignments of users or groups
to resources. By using the workplace shell paradigm, the GUI reduces the
time necessary to administer the LAN, and simplifies the process so it is
natural for non-LAN personnel.
Peer
DOS, Windows, and OS/2 requesters have the ability to informally share
local resources with another LAN Server 4.0 requester. This can eliminate
the need for additional peer-to-peer software providing similar functions.
The flexibility of LAN Server 4.0 offers the integrity of server-maintained
data with the flexibility attributed to peer-to-peer sharing resources.
Network Clipboard
LAN Server 4.0, Windows, and OS/2 requesters can share data between
applications across a LAN using DDE or cut, copy, and paste functions of
the application. Cut and paste is a requirement on today's desktop. IBM
brings this to the LAN.
Simple Mail
A windowed messaging service is available with LAN Server 4.0 that allows
for creating and receiving text messages between LAN Server 4.0 clients.
Notification of incoming messages and the queuing of multiple messages is
supported. This function provides a simple to use interoffice
communication vehicle without the complexity of E-Mail.
Upgradeable
LAN Server 4.0 Entry can be transparently upgraded to LAN Server 4.0
Advanced. No migration of user data or resources is necessary. This
provides an easy path to LAN Server 4.0 Advanced when high performance or
Advanced extensions are required. The pricing model of LAN Server does not
penalize you when upgrading, because the prices of the Entry and Advanced
versions are independent of the number of users requiring their services.
Additionally, the ease of migration combined with ease of installation
allows LAN Server to grow with your business, with minimal impact on your
time and money.
Seamless Install
Treats a new installation or upgrade and the associated installation of LAN
protocol drivers as a common install procedure. This reduces the complexity
of the installation and reduces the amount of time necessary to install a
server or requester.
Auto Configuration
A configuration scenario provides a default configuration that can be
modified for more advanced users after the installation procedure is
completed. This reduces the complexity of installation and allows LAN
Server 4.0 Entry to be installed without any LAN knowledge.
Adapter Autosense
The seamless installation program detects the LAN adapter card installed on
the machine and selects the correct drivers if available. More adapters
than ever are supported by LAN Server 4.0. This function eliminates the
need to physically identify the LAN adapter installed in the server of
client machines, and allows LAN Server 4.0 Entry to be installed without
any hardware knowledge.
TCP/IP
This version of LAN Server includes TCP/IP stacks and TCPBEUI for those
customers requiring TCP/IP as their Network Protocol. This can reduce cost
when requiring TCP/IP as LAN protocol. This implementation has enhanced
performance, as compared to the previous version of TCP/IP. While this
implementation is not a native TCP/IP implementation, it is as effective as
though it were combined with a nominal 9-byte IP routing information added
to a NetBIOS packet. This allows LAN Server 4.0 to operate in a TCP/IP
environment.
32-bit API
LAN Server APIs have been enabled for 32-bit operation so that no
degradation is discovered when interfacing 32-bit OS/2 applications. This
allows for full exploitation of OS/2 and LAN Server 32-bit applications.
REXX API
A REXX API interface enables the direct access to LAN Server APIs without
requiring command line parsing or C language programming as an interface to
REXX applications. REXX allows for a fast and easy interface to LAN Server
for the purposes of automating LAN Administration.
Command Line Interface
The command line interface (CLI) has full parity with the other LAN Server
interface. Any LAN Server administrative function can now be started from
any API, or through the GUI or command line. This allows for the
automation of LAN Administrative tasks by CMD programs.
GUI Requesters
A GUI interface is now available for DOS, as well as Windows and OS/2
requesters, to administer user profile management and allow for the
connection to server resources. This simplifies access to server resources
by users who have no LAN knowledge.
DOS Requester memory
DOS clients have in excess of 610KB available for application programs. The
increased memory available to DOS workstations increases the variety of
applications that can be run on a DOS client and takes advantage of shared
data offered in a LAN environment.
Hardware Requirements

ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 7.1.2. IBM OS/2 LAN Server 4.0 Advanced ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
OS/2 LAN Server 4.0 Advanced extends the features, functions, and usability of
LAN Server 4.0 Entry. It presents enhanced capacity and performance, as well
as fault tolerant support, SMP support, and Pentium** exploitation. These
attributes make it the ideal solution for both large and small businesses where
enhanced performance is required. LAN Administration tasks are streamlined to
reduce the cost of LAN administration. Multidomain access extends the number
of servers available to users.
LAN Server 4.0 Advanced is also the platform for LAN Server extensions, which
enhance the capabilities of LAN Server Advanced. LAN Server Ultimedia, an
available extension to LAN Server Advanced, exhibits better DASD utilization
than prior versions of LAN Server Advanced.
IBM OS/2 LAN Server Version 4.0 Advanced shares the same features and functions
as OS/2 LAN Server 4.0 Entry, with the following additional new features and
functions:
Drag and Drop Administration
The LAN administration interface to LAN Server has been augmented with a
drag and drop interface. This allows for the creation, change, and
deletion of users, groups, and resources, as well as assignments of users
or groups to resources. By using the workplace shell paradigm, the GUI
interface reduces the time necessary to administer the LAN and reduces the
expense of LAN Administration.
Disk Limits
This feature allows the administrator to set limits on server disk
resources at the subdirectory level to ensure users do not exceed their
authorized allocations of file space. Thresholds can be set to notify a
user prior to exceeding the limit. By setting appropriate limits, a user
who might use all the servers' disk space will be controlled and will be
the only user experiencing an apparent out-of-space condition. Without Disk
Limits, all users would experience an out-of-disk-space or disk full
message with this previous scenario. Disk limits provided by LAN Server
4.0 Advanced establishes DASD control by the LAN Administrator, thereby
reducing disk full errors.
Pentium optimization
LAN Server 4.0 Advanced takes advantage of high performance hardware
servers, thereby protecting your investment in Pentium equipped hardware.
SMP Support
LAN Server supports SMP machines with 2, 4, or 8 processors when running
OS/2 SMP. Once again, LAN Server allows for the utilization of
high-performance servers.
Fault Tolerant
RAID implementations allow for the mirroring of disks to provide backup in
the event of a system problem. LAN Server 4.0 supports hot swappable disks
in a disk array when they are supported by the hardware. Uninterrupted
Power Supply (UPS) systems are supported for momentary power outages.
Additional RAID 0-5 support is available through an additional IBM product,
OASAS. LAN Server 4.0 supports high availability in the event of hardware
or power failure.
Task Oriented GUI
A collection of administrative tasks have been automated in such a manner
as to reduce the number of keystrokes and increase the efficiency of a LAN
Administrator. The tasks are independent and can be augmented by
customer-written programs. The tasks shipped with LAN Server represents
those tasks that are most frequently exercised by LAN Administrators in
large installations. These automated tasks increase the productivity of
LAN Administration.
High-Performance File System (HPFS)
This is a non-FAT file system that provides a higher level of performance
than the OS/2 HPFS. The HPFS supports partition sizes up to 64GB. The
HPFS gets the most out of the server machine, thereby protecting your
hardware investment.
Single system image
Domains allow clients to have simultaneous access to multiple servers
through a single logon. LAN Server 4.0 supports multiple domain logons,
further increasing the connectivity options of a LAN Server 4.0 requester.
Hardware Requirements
Server: OS/2 2.1 capable, 10MB RAM, 11MB DASD

ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 7.1.3. IBM OS/2 LAN Server for Macintosh ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
The OS/2 LAN Server for Macintosh program allows DOS, DOS/Windows, OS/2, and
Macintosh users to be connected on the same network. The program is a file and
print server running in the OS/2 environment. It is available as an OS/2 LAN
Server 3.0- or 4.0-based product.
With LAN Server for Macintosh, you can mix and match networked printers. The
program acts as an intermediary between the workstations and PostScript**
printers on a network, to enable all users (Macintosh, DOS, Windows, and OS/2
clients) to share printer resources. The shared printers can be attached to
OS/2 servers or connected as part of the AppleTalk** network.
Its print spooler allows up to 9 LaserWriter** printers to be associated with
print queues, along with any of the PostScript printers attached to the OS/2
LAN Server. As a result, Macintosh users can spool jobs to printers attached
to the OS/2 LAN Server, while DOS, Windows, and OS/2 users can send jobs to
printers on the AppleTalk network, immediately freeing their workstations so
they can turn to other tasks.
LAN Server for Macintosh provides security features that are consistent with
both OS/2 LAN Server and AppleShare controls. What is more, it allows you to
tighten security even more through passwords at the user and at the
administrator levels. Users can maintain their own passwords. An optional
audit trail keeps track of logons and file activity.
The LAN Server for Macintosh 1.0 can be administered from any OS/2 workstation
running LAN Requester with an administrator logon. The program includes a
configuration function that can be used from any OS/2 workstation that is
connected to the LAN Server. This function has the same look and feel as the
OS/2 User Profile Management, so network administrators will be comfortable and
productive with a familiar interface.

ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 7.1.4. IBM LAN Server/400 ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
LAN Server/400 combines the best of LAN Server 3.0 and the AS/400. With over
20000 business applications available on the AS/400, and the speed and
stability of LAN Server 3.0, client/server is a reality for customers and
software providers.
LAN Server/400 is a hardware and software implementation of LAN Server 3.0 on
the AS/400 that provides competitive performance across the LAN. The hardware
consists of a FSIOP (File Server Input/Output Processor) that utilizes a 486
DX2 66MHz processor. Cache is available from 16MB to 64MB. The adapter
supports two LAN connections that are software configurable to be either
Token-Ring or Ethernet, or a combination of both. The LAN Server 3.0 software
stored on the AS/400 disk, provides the performance and LAN software
connection. The LAN Server 3.0 clients, running LAN Requester for DOS,
Windows, or OS/2, provide the connection to the AS/400 for file access.
The design points for the LAN Server/400 were performance, integrated
administration, integrated security, and integrated data:
o The performance of the AS/400 is improved, not only through the LAN Server
3.0 software, but through the integration of the FSIOP card which handles
file services over the LAN to an AS/400.
o Administration of LAN Server/400 provides for AS/400 style commands,
configuration, save and restore, move, and copies of data. This means that
an AS/400 account can issue AS/400-style commands to run these activities
locally or across the Ethernet Token-Ring Local Area Network. This allows
you to utilize existing AS/400 skills to administer and automate LAN
activities, such as backup and recovery, error detection, and PC server
monitoring.
o Security is integrated between the AS/400 and LAN Server 3.0 networks. When
the system operator creates a user profile on the AS/400, that user profile
is created and synchronized with the LAN Server domain. This increases
security on a Local Area Network by providing a single point of maintenance
using both AS/400 applications and LAN based PC applications. LAN
Server/400 merges the security model of OS/2 LAN Server with AS/400 security
to provide a single view of users and access rights for users.
o Data is integrated between the AS/400 and LAN Server servers on the network.
Applications can now transparently access data either on the AS/400
relational database or on remote LAN Servers on the network. This further
advances the client/server capabilities for the 20000 applications now
running on the AS/400 and LAN Server. LAN Server is now able to take
advantage of the reliability and disk capacity of the AS/400. Up to 128GB of
storage can be allocated for each PC file system and the AS/400's RAID
technology is available to LAN Server.
Hardware Requirements
Server: AS/400 model D, E, F, all Advanced Series, 65MB DASD for each NLV
of LAN Server/400, 25MB DASD for each FSIOP
OS/2 Client: 0.6MB RAM, 5.5MB DASD

ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 7.1.5. IBM LAN Server for AIX 1.0 ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
LAN Server for AIX brings IBM's popular client/server technology to the UNIX
marketplace. LAN Server for AIX allows DOS, Windows, and OS/2 requesters
transparent access to the resources of an AIX server. If a DOS, Windows, or
OS/2 machine is already connected to an IBM LAN Server environment, or a
Microsoft LAN Manager environment, no changes are required for the requester to
access LAN Server for AIX. LAN requesters access AIX disks and printers in the
same way as other LAN Server resources. LAN Server for AIX can function as a
domain controller or as an additional server in a LAN Server domain.
The main advantage of LAN Server for AIX is access to disk space as well as the
high availability and reliability of the AIX or UNIX platform.
LAN Server for AIX provides an attractive solution in the following
environments:
o Data exists on AIX machines that needs to be shared with DOS or OS/2 users.
There are many ways that this situation can arise. For instance, many
customers are using AIX as a way of "rightsizing" their environments. This
puts critical enterprise data on AIX machines that many DOS and OS/2 users
need to access.
o Greater disk capacity is required than can be handled by Intel-based
products. The current maximum for a single RISC System/6000 machine is
904GB. This is a very large amount of data that can be shared between AIX,
DOS, and OS/2 users.
o Access to the advanced features of the AIX file system is required. The AIX
file system has been called an "industrial strength" file system. Some of
the features provided include dynamic resizing and relocation, the ability
to span multiple physical disks, and transaction logging that provides total
recovery of critical data in the event of a power outage.
o Access to the high-availability features of the AIX HACMP/6000* offering is
required. HACMP/6000 can be used to provide an environment where no single
point of failure exists by using off-the-shelf components in conjunction
with software. When a failure does occur, recovery is rapid. This is all
transparent to the end users. This capability of the RISC System/6000 can be
beneficial to customers who have "mission critical" applications.
Hardware Requirements
Server: RISC System/6000 processor; 32MB RAM Tape drive capable of reading
8 mm tapes on server
Client: OS/2 2.0 or 2.1 capable; i386** or higher; 0.6MB RAM minimum

ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 7.1.8. NetWare 4.02 from IBM ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
NetWare 4.02 from IBM is a complete operating system designed to operate in a
multivendor distributed environment. It adds to the functional capabilities of
NetWare 3.12, a 32-bit enterprise-wide application capability.
NetWare Directory Services (NDS) treats all network resources as objects in a
distributed database known as the NetWare Directory database. The database
organizes resources in a hierarchical tree structure, independent of the
physical location of the resources. Users and supervisors can access any
network service without having to know the physical location of the server that
stores the service.
The Directory replaces the bindery, which served as the system database for
previous versions of NetWare. While the bindery supports the operation of a
single NetWare server, NDS supports an entire network of servers. So, instead
of storing all information on one server, which can be a single point of
failure, information is distributed over a global database and accessed by all
servers.
The term Directory refers to that global database provided by the NetWare 4.02
servers. Compatibility with previous versions of NetWare is provided through
bindery emulation.
NDS helps you manage Directory resources, such as NetWare servers, but it does
not provide control over the file system (volumes, directories, and files).
Graphical and text utilities help you manage NDS and the file system.
Although NDS is the major enhancement, NetWare 4.02 from IBM has other
improvements on predecessor products.
Memory management in NetWare 4.02 has been redesigned to increase efficiency.
Memory is managed by the server so that applications do not run out of memory.
NetWare 3.12 allocates memory in five or more memory pools that serve different
purposes. After continuous operation of the server, some applications run out
of memory, because when an application no longer needs a section of memory,
management routines do not note that the memory is available to other
applications. NetWare 4.02 has only one memory allocation pool, and memory is
reallocated from one application to another. The server operates more
efficiently as a result of fewer memory management operations and pools.
File compression allows NetWare 4.02 to compress files that are saved to the
hard file, and then uncompress those files when they are retrieved. Using file
compression allows system volumes to hold more online data.
File compression is managed internally by NetWare 4.02. You can flag your files
or directories so they are compressed after being used, or flag them so they
are never compressed.
After compression is enabled, files flagged for compression that are not
accessed for a specific amount of time are automatically compressed. Files are
decompressed when accessed again by a user.
File compression does not reduce network traffic because data is compressed
only on the hard file. Files saved to a backup tape cannot be compressed with
this feature.
NetWare print services use print servers and print queues to service network
printers. In bindery-based NetWare, only the print server and print queues
exist as bindery objects; printers are defined as attributes of the print
server. In NDS, the print server, print queue, and printer are individual
objects. They can be created and modified in any order with text or graphical
utilities.
Network users never need to know about print queues or print servers in NetWare
4.02. Users can send their print jobs directly to a printer by specifying the
printer name.
Network printers can attach directly to the network, to any NetWare server, or
to DOS or OS/2 workstations. NetWare 4.02 servers use NPRINTER.NLM, and DOS or
OS/2 workstations use NPRINTER.EXE, to make attached printers available to the
network.
A five-user version of NetWare for Macintosh 4.0 is included with each NetWare
4.02 from IBM server. A 1000-user version of NetWare for Macintosh 4.0 from
IBM may be ordered separately.
Hardware Requirements
Server: i386 or higher, appropriate LAN adapters
Workstation: i8088 or higher, Macintosh, and others.

ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 7.1.9. NetWare 4.01 for OS/2 from IBM ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
NetWare 4.01 for OS/2 provides native Novell** NetWare 4.x in an OS/2
environment. It uses the same source code and provides the same function as a
dedicated NetWare server. NetWare 4.01 for OS/2 consists of a set of add-on
drivers that permit the NetWare 4.01/4.02 modules to be loaded in the OS/2
environment. The benefits of running the native NetWare in the OS/2
environment are that NetWare 4.x NLMs can be run unmodified, NetWare 4.x device
drivers can be run unmodified, and the high performance and reliability of
NetWare is maintained.
NetWare 4.01 for OS/2 runs NetWare 4.x as a parallel operating system to OS/2.
It runs at Ring 0 with a protected block of memory that is dedicated solely to
NetWare. NetWare 4.01 for OS/2 consists mainly of three modules: a virtual
device driver (VNETWARE.SYS), a physical device driver (PNETWARE.SYS), and a
32-bit Ring 3 OS/2 application (NWOS2.EXE).
NetWare 4.01 for OS/2 can be accessed from all the same platforms as NetWare
4.x (OS/2, Macintosh, UNIX, DOS, and Windows). From a client perspective, the
NetWare server is the same as a dedicated NetWare 4.x server.
The preemptive multitasking capabilities of OS/2 allow other workgroup and
communication applications, such as OS/2 Communications Manager, OS/2 Database
Manager, Lotus Notes, and others, to run concurrently with the NetWare 4.x
Server. Work in an OS/2, DOS, or WIN-OS2 session continues, while the NetWare
server provides file and print services for other network users in your office.
This capability gives network administrators the flexibility of managing
servers either locally or remotely.
Flexibility exists to develop NLMs or OS/2-based client/server applications.
All NLMs certified for NetWare 4.x run unmodified with NetWare 4.01 for OS/2.
NLM development for NetWare 4.01 for OS/2 is supported with the NetWare 4.01
Software Developers Kit (SDK) available from Novell's professional developer
program.
The NetWare 4.01 for OS/2 environment can achieve 90 to 95% of the dedicated
NetWare 4.X performance. The small overhead of 5 to 10% is due to the fact
that OS/2 is now handling all hardware, interrupt, and I/O services. The
optimization of these services in the OS/2 operating system and the
streamlining of the NetWare 4.01 for OS/2 add-on modules result in negligible
performance degradation.
Capability is provided to divide the CPU processing time between OS/2 and
NetWare by setting a performance tuning parameter. This parameter lets you
specify what portion of CPU time is available to NetWare; the remaining CPU
time is used by OS/2. The performance can be tuned while the server is running
by using the Graphical Monitor Utility that is provided with NetWare 4.01 for
OS/2. This parameter can also be set to an initial value in the NFT.CFG file.
Hardware Requirements
Same as NetWare 4.01 and NetWare 4.02
Note: To calculate memory and disk space requirements, add the amount
required by NetWare 4.x to that which is required by OS/2. NetWare
4.01 for OS/2 must have dedicated memory and its own partition on
the hard file. For example, if you need 16MB for OS/2 and 16MB for
the NetWare server, plan to install 32MB of RAM. If you need 80MB
of disk space for OS/2 and 100MB for NetWare, plan to have at least
a 180MB hard file.

protocols at a NetWare 3.12 or 4.01 server, so any Ethernet or Token Ring ODI
4.0-compliant adapter can be used as a NetWare for SAA host data link. This
also simplifies connections to AS/400s in Ethernet environments. NetWare's
multiple-transport protocol supports DOS, Windows, Macintosh, OS/2, AIX, and
UNIX workstations through these workstations' native IPX/SPX, TCP/IP,
AppleTalk, and 802.2 protocols. Drivers are available to support virtually any
workstation hardware and network topology for use with NetWare for SAA.
Among the primary host-based network management features are:
o Alert forwarding sends alarms generated by the NetWare server to the NetWare
operator console.
o RUNCMD support lets the NetView operator enter run for commands (RUNCMDs) at
the NetView console that are forwarded to the NetWare server for operation.
o Centralized configuration distribution greatly simplifies the configuration
tasks of administrators responsible for managing branch offices and large
corporate networks.
o Centralized configuration backup allows network administrators to back up
configurations over LAN or WAN connections to a centralized location.
Servers can be reconfigured and brought back into service with minimal
effort and time in disaster situations.

ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 7.1.11.2. IBM Ultimedia VideoCharger ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
IBM Ultimedia VideoCharger is client/server software that enables video
playback for a large number of clients on existing departmental or campus LANs
(Token-Ring and Ethernet). Included with Ultimedia VideoCharger are client,
resource management, and player software. These allow audio and video programs
stored in a digital file server to be retrieved, decompressed, and played on a
specific channel at the workstation from either an existing LAN, or a site
television cable (CATV) network. Several digital file servers are supported,
including LAN Server Ultimedia.
The Ultimedia VideoCharger desktop client allows a user or application to
select a video and use VCR-like controls (START, PAUSE, STOP, REWIND, MUTE) to
control the playback of that video. Upon receiving a request from the client,
the Ultimedia VideoCharger Resource Manager allocates one of its digital video
players and lets the client view the video at the desktop. The actual video
signals travel from the Ultimedia VideoCharger player to the client's desktop
from the LAN or from a CATV distribution network. This same CATV distribution
network can concurrently be used for broadcasts and video conferencing.
Ultimedia VideoCharger's method of using the LAN or CATV networks to deliver
video information to the client does not impact the existing bandwidth for the
LAN. Therefore, digital video playback can be provided to many concurrent
users without impacting normal LAN traffic. Ultimedia VideoCharger also
facilitates the sharing of digital video playback equipment by any number of
clients. This shared environment eliminates the need to purchase digital
playback equipment for each desktop where digital video needs might exist.
A video tape is available for a more detailed explanation of the product, its
features, functions, and benefits. The video tape number is SV20-8600.

ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 7.1.11.3. IBM Network Door/2 1.0 ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
NetDoor* is an OS/2-based application integration program for LANs. It supports
OS/2 clients in either a NetBIOS or a TCP/IP environment. In addition, NetDoor
also supports a central maintenance environment.
Application Integration
NetDoor provides the framework for adding all types of applications to the
computing environment. The application catalog and central maintenance
functions can be used for implementing any application that operates from a
server. The file synchronization function can then replicate the new
applications throughout the enterprise. The power of central maintenance
becomes especially useful for easily maintaining client/server
applications, which often have version dependencies between the client and
server portions. NetDoor can update all program parts for both client and
server.
Central Maintenance
NetDoor provides a complete set of facilities for the administration of the
LAN environment. The major functions are:
o Single system image for LAN server and TCP/IP NFS resources. The NetDoor
client enables access to multiple LAN Server domains from a single logon.
You can log on to NetDoor and other domains concurrently, and
simultaneously use file and print services across those domains. This
offers you a single system image of the LAN making access to scattered
resources easier.
o Concurrent use of software licenses. This allows you to share the use of
software licenses in a LAN environment, optimize the use of software
licenses, provide a large selection of software licenses to end-users,
and reduce installation and maintenance efforts.
Applications are installed on the "Vendor" server and are accessed by the
end user from a Presentation Manager* catalog.
o Fault-tolerant access to application servers. NetDoor optionally supports
paired domain controllers (called couplets) that provide users with
continuous access if one domain controller or Network File System** (NFS)
data server in a couplet is disabled.
o Automatic load distribution among application servers. When you log on
to a NetDoor LAN with multiple servers, a connection is made to the least
utilized server. You do not need to be aware of the physical server to
which you are connected.
o Flexible replication and synchronization of server files. NetDoor
provides the ability to automatically synchronize maintenance across
multiple file servers. Maintenance applied to a single server can be
automatically applied to other servers on a scheduled basis. This
synchronization function is generalized and rule driven. It can be used
to synchronize any files needing replication on multiple servers. This
capability is not limited to servers on the same physical LAN, but can be
connected as TCP/IP NFS servers in a TCP/IP environment. When connected
from the LAN-to-WAN Wide Area Network (LTLW) connections in an SNA
environment, central maintenance is enabled throughout an enterprise.
o Maintenance facility for updating NetDoor client and server systems. An
administrator can schedule automatic information updates on any NetDoor
system. Changes are propagated without end user involvement.
NetDoor characteristics can be viewed from both a user's and an
administrator's perspective.
User Perspective:
o Users browse through a catalog of the available applications and request
one or more applications to be added to their NetDoor folders.
o Any application that does not require reconfiguration of the user's
system can be run from a server rather than being installed on the user's
system. Users can try an application before adding it to their NetDoor
folders.
o When applications require configuration changes, the NetDoor catalog
function automatically makes those changes on the user's system.
o Application icons are added to the NetDoor user system, exploiting the
ease-of-use features of the OS/2 Workplace Shell.
o A single catalog entry can add multiple applications to ease system setup
for specific groups of end users.
o The NetDoor catalog functions can also remove applications that are no
longer needed.
o Tailoring the application or creating profiles for user-specific
information is fully supported. Users are not limited to only the
centrally defined configurations of an application.
Administrator Perspective:
o Administrators can define application catalog entries visible only to
specific sets of users.
o NetDoor supplies tools to assist administrators with the definition of
catalog entries and application configuration processes. Support
personnel define these changes using NetDoor catalog tools and REXX.

ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 7.1.11.4. IBM Network SignOn Coordinator/2 1.1 ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
IBM Network SignOn Coordinator/2 (NSC) aids users on client workstations to
coordinate logons and synchronize passwords across multiple locally attached
workstations and central site host security facilities. In simple terms, it is
a single interface to the multiple systems on which a user has accounts.
NSC allows users to enter their user IDs and passwords one time (either through
a full-screen menu or a command line) to run sign-on operations on the
following:
o The local OS/2 workstation or local DOS workstation
o User Profile Management (UPM) Nodes
o OS/2 LAN Server domains
o Novell NetWare 3.11 file servers
o Hosts attached to the local DOS or OS/2 workstation, or to NSC servers
o Remote NSC servers, such as OS/2 database servers
NSC supports two configurations: the NSC Client (DOS and OS/2) and the NSC
server.
Users can install the NSC DOS or OS/2 Client code to obtain logon and password
coordination on OS/2 LAN domains, NetWare 3.11 file servers, and locally
attached hosts, as well as various other sign-on options, from a remote
workstation installed as an NSC server.
NSC servers can be installed to provide DOS and OS/2 clients password-change
capability for UPM accounts on the NSC Server and on hosts attached through
the NSC server. (In this case, the NSC Server functions as a gateway.)
Systems configured as NSC Servers can receive and process the password change
and password verification requests described in the previous sections from DOS
and OS/2 clients. Servers can also store user or group configuration
information and transmit it to workstations at which users initiate NSC, if so
configured. Sign-on and status activities are represented by icons, and
passwords are masked when transmitted to the server.
Hardware Requirements
Server: OS/2 2.1 capable or higher; appropriate LAN/WAN hardware
Client: DOS 3.3 capable or higher
Software Requirements
Server: OS/2 1.3 capable or higher, appropriate LAN/WAN hardware
Client: DOS 3.3 or higher, OS/2 Communications, Database and LAN Transport

ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 7.2.3. IBM OS/2 for Symmetrical Multiprocessing 2.11 ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
OS/2 for Symmetrical Multiprocessing (OS/2 for SMP) expands the OS/2 family of
products by providing support for multiple Intel processors within a single
personal computer. It contains architecture support for 1 to 16 Intel
processors. OS/2 for SMP supports the Multiprocessor Specification V1.1
(MPS1.1). Systems built on this standard can run OS/2 for SMP without making
changes to the BIOS, operating system, and hardware interfaces.
OS/2 for SMP provides all the benefits of OS/2 2.1 (industry standard device
support, compliance with industry standards, a graphical installation, an
online tutorial, enhanced standing as a premier client, and enhanced support
for OS/2), DOS, and Windows programs. All these features are delivered on top
of a stable, mature platform that has been "fit and finished" over time.
OS/2 for SMP can provide scalable performance and compatibility with DOS,
Windows 3.1, and OS/2 applications to extend your investment in software. Using
OS/2 for SMP, server systems can be scaled to handle larger networks running
CPU-intensive applications, such as database and graphics programs. Scalable
performancemeans that you can have the power you need in your current
SMP-compatible computer as well as the ability to grow to new, more powerful
applications. OS/2 printer and video drivers are identical to those included in
the OS/2 2.1 product.
OS/2 2.1 protects your investment in existing DOS and Windows applications by
providing the capability for them to run simultaneously and seamlessly with
OS/2 16- and 32-bit applications on the same display. Multiprocessing benefits
can be realized by DOS and Windows 3.1 applications because each Virtual DOS
Machine (VDM**) under OS/2 for SMP is a separate task that is dispatched to
available processors. You can continue to run existing applications while
using advanced 32-bit OS/2 applications.
OS/2 has been enhanced to support Symmetric Multiprocessing. These systems
contain from 2 to 16 Intel 486 or Pentium processors in a single personal
computer. There are some very attractive benefits of SMP beyond the increased
raw CPU power. Caching is a technique used in hardware and software to increase
performance. SMPs increase the effectiveness of various caches dramatically.
OS/2 for SMP expands the OS/2 Operating System family of products to exploit
the emerging technology of multiple Intel 486DX or Pentium processors within a
single personal computer. SMP computers represent the high end of the personal
computer market with up to 16 processors operating within a single system.

ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 7.3.3. IBM DCE Software Developer's Kit for OS/2 and Windows 1.0 ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
The Distributed Computing Environment (DCE) Software Developer's Kit for OS/2
and Windows facilitates the creation of applications that enable IBM
PC-compatible systems to take advantage of DCE. The application programming
interfaces for DCE reside above the operating system and network transmission
layers.
DCE is based on technology licensed from the Open Software Foundation (OSF) and
is endorsed by leading computer manufacturers that participate in the OSF (IBM,
DEC**, HP**, and others). It enables the creation of applications that allow a
network of multivendor systems to appear as a single system with user access to
many different computing resources on a network. Since the architecture
accommodates numerous operating system and hardware platforms, any DCE-enabled
process running on one computer can interoperate with a DCE-enabled process on
other computers, regardless of each computer's manufacturer or operating
system.
The DCE components are:
OS/2 Security Services
This facility is designed to provide authentication, authorization
(using access control lists), user account management, and data
integrity verification. Security is based on an enhanced Kerberos system
defined by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) with
components from Hewlett-Packard**. In the US, the government Data
Encryption Standard (DES) is available for encryption of user data
through a remote procedure call.
OS/2 Cell Directory Services (CDS)
This facility defines a single naming model through which resources in
the distributed system are identified and located. Use of this model
permits you to access servers and other system resources by name without
needing to know the network location, even when the resource's network
has changed.
Remote Procedure Call (RPC)
This is a proven method for distributing application execution across
multiple computers in a network. The SDK provides a compiler that
converts high-level interface descriptions of the remote procedures into
portable C-language source code. This code permits the RPCs to process
the same way as a local procedure.
Time Services and Threads Facility
Time Services provides regulation of clocks for time synchronization to
assist in scheduling activities and processing sequences. Threads
provides the ability to create and control multiple threads of execution
within a single process in cases where this facility is lacking in the
base operating system.
Software Developer's Kit Features:
This software developer's kit includes distributed computing run-time
clients; 5 each for OS/2 and Windows. These clients feature RPC, Threads,
and time services and provide access to Cell Directory and Security
Services. In addition, there are development tools for both OS/2 and
Windows. These tools include:
o An Interface Definition Language (IDL) compiler
o A Universal Unique Identifier generator
o Dynamic Link Libraries
o Sample source code

ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 7.4.1.2. AnyNet/2 ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
AnyNet/2 uses IBM's Multiprotocol Transport Networking (MPTN) architecture to
provide communications protocol independence to application programs.
AnyNet/2 1.0
AnyNet/2 Version 1.0 supports Advanced Program to Program Communications (APPC)
over TCP/IP and Sockets over SNA.
With AnyNet/2, APPC over TCP/IP customers can use the powerful LU 6.2 APPC
interface to communicate between workstations in a TCP/IP environment. Any OS/2
APPC or CPI-C application, such as CICS and DB2*, can communicate between OS/2
workstations across a TCP/IP network. AnyNet/2 provides this without change to
application programs. This product is compatible with AnyNet/MVS and provides
connectivity to the host environment. AnyNet/2 provides the ability to reduce
costs by eliminating duplicate networking hardware, software, and
communications lines.
As customers develop APPC applications, two key networking protocols, SNA and
TCP/IP, will be able to transport the application program function with no
change required to the application.
With Sockets over SNA, you can use the sockets interface to communicate between
workstations in an SNA environment. Most BSD 4.3 sockets applications, such as
FTP, Telnet, and NFS, can communicate between OS/2 workstations across an SNA
network. AnyNet/2 provides this without change to application programs. This
product is compatible with AnyNet/MVS and provides connectivity to the host
environment. AnyNet/2 reduces costs by eliminating duplicate networking
hardware, software, and communications lines.
Two new AnyNet products expand the AnyNet family of solutions, helping to add
new applications and to simplify multiprotocol networks: AnyNet/2 2.0 and
AnyNet/2 NetBEUI over SNA.
AnyNet/2 2.0
AnyNet/2 2.0 delivers support for additional SNA logical unit (LU) types,
including emulators and printers over TCP/IP networks. This product reduces the
number of SNA resources required by using full duplex, when available, and
provides OS/2 DCE support when running Sockets applications over SNA networks.
AnyNet/2 2.0 provides:
o SNA over TCP/IP: Adds all LU types (LU 0, 1, 2, 3, and 6.2) to provide
total SNA connectivity across TCP/IP networks, including terminals and
printers
o Sockets over SNA: Adds full duplex support to allow improved use of SNA
networking resources, and adds DCE support for AnyNet/2 NetBEUI over SNA 1.0
o SNA networks to add NetBIOS applications, without adding a separate NetBIOS
network: This also extends the use of existing SNA networks to include
NetBIOS application traffic without requiring additional router or gateway
equipment. Together, these AnyNet functions can help organizations:
- Broaden end users' access to applications, and reduce the cost and effort
usually required to achieve this connectivity
- Reduce the number of physical and logical networks required, thereby
simplifying the network and reducing maintenance costs
- Improve application programmers' productivity by allowing programmers to
focus on new applications without requirements to accommodate new or
multiple protocols
- Protect investment in existing and future applications through
application independence from the transport layer
AnyNet/2 NetBEUI over SNA
AnyNet/2 NetBEUI over SNA is a new AnyNet product family member that provides
NetBIOS application connectivity across SNA networks without any application
changes.
AnyNet/2 delivers multiprotocol transport networking (MPTN) architecture
support for OS/2 workstation-to-workstation and workstation-to-VTAM-host
communications. Applications can be written or acquired without concern for
the underlying network transport protocol.
AnyNet/2 Sockets over SNA Gateway 1.1
The AnyNet/2 Sockets over SNA Gateway 1.1 delivers a set of three gateway
sizes. The low-priced entry size meets the needs of small, remote offices by
providing 20 concurrent connections. The 100- and 250-connection gateways
support the requirements of medium and large networks.
You can change the size of AnyNet/2 Sockets Gateway by simply using a
password; you do not have to reinstall or reconfigure anything. These options
are separately priced to provide the most cost-effective gateway solution to
your multiple protocol networks.
The AnyNet/2 Sockets Gateway, in conjunction with AnyNet/2 and AnyNet/MVS
software, connects SNA and TCP/IP networks to allow Sockets applications data
to flow freely across both environments. Your workstation and hosts in SNA
networks can now run Sockets applications and appear to be directly connected
to your TCP/IP network. In addition, dual AnyNet/2 Sockets Gateways can be
used to connect TCP/IP networks across an SNA network. All of the connections
are made with no changes to your Sockets applications, TCP/IP network, or SNA
network.

ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 7.4.1.5. IBM Personal Communications Toolkit for Visual Basic ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
The Personal Communications Toolkit for Visual Basic is a companion product to
the IBM Personal Communications/3270 and Personal Communications AS/400 for
Windows terminal emulator products. The Toolkit provides Windows with a rich
set of tools and utilities to create new client/server applications based on
S/390 and AS/400 host applications, and new front ends for existing host
applications.
With the Personal Communications Toolkit, application developers can create
value-added clients (based on Visual Basic) for the Windows workstation that
use existing host applications as servers for data and text processing. The
clients can utilize the enhanced graphics, video, and sound capabilities of the
workstation. The host applications provide the security, integrity, and
capacity for storing and processing business-critical data and text. This
provides an effective way to migrate mission critical host applications to
client/server computing.
With the Personal Communications Toolkit, end users and application developers
can create graphical user interface (GUI) front ends for existing S/390 and
AS/400 applications. Data and text from one or more host applications can be
captured and displayed at a workstation in a Microsoft Windows format. New or
revised data can then be returned to the host application from the workstation
window.
The Personal Communications Toolkit includes two components:
o Tools and utilities for the application developer
o Run-time support for the IBM Personal Communications emulators
The tools and utilities are productivity aids for application developers
working with Visual Basic or C. One of the tools, QuickFRONT Generator**

ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 7.4.2.3.2. IBM Remote Token-Ring Bridge/DOS 1.0 ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
The Remote Token-Ring Bridge is a PS/2 DOS application that provides remote
source route bridging for Token-Ring networks. It interconnects LAN segments
remotely over a wide area network (WAN) and supports connection speeds from 9.6
Kbps to 2 Mbps. The Remote Token-Ring Bridge/DOS can coexist with the Local
Token-Ring Bridge/DOS in the same LAN segment and jointly participate in the
Spanning Tree Algorithm. A user programming interface is provided to support
user-written filters, and 5 of the most commonly used filters. In addition, it
provides the LAN Network Manager server function for media management of
Token-Ring segments and the LAN bridge server to allow IBM LAN Network Manager
to monitor and control the bridge functions. LAN Bridge Manager/2 can also be
used for distributed installation, setup, and management.
The Remote Token-Ring Bridge also provides dial support, full T1 (1.544 Mbps)
or full E1 (2.048) line speeds when using the High-Speed Communications
Co-Processor/2 Adapter, and increased communications adapter transmit buffer to
256Kb for improved performance to keep bursty traffic to a minimum.
With the explosive growth of personal computers, coupled with the development
of high-speed communication networks, a massive paradigm shift from
host-centric to network-centric systems has occurred. It became necessary to
connect geographically dispersed locations to the central host.
A single license of the remote bridge supports both halves of the bridge. This
makes it very cost-effective. As with the local bridge, the Remote Token-Ring
Bridge has become the industry's standard. It accommodates virtually all the
communications protocols being used.

ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 7.4.4. Remote Access ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
This section contains the following topic:
o IBM LAN Distance 1.1
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 7.4.4.1. IBM LAN Distance 1.1 ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
If you need to access your local area network (LAN) when you are away from the
office, IBM's LAN Distance is the answer for you. LAN Distance is a software
solution that lets your portable computer or remote PC access your LAN as if it
were on the network. It is the most powerful, flexible, and easy way to connect
to any network you are authorized to access.
LAN Distance consists of two components:
1. LAN Distance Remote for OS/2 and Windows lets you connect your remote PC
to another PC, or to a LAN through a connection server. It provides a
graphical user interface for connecting to the LAN and the necessary
interfaces to let your LAN-based applications run remotely. LAN Distance
Remote supports two connectivity options. Connecting to the LAN Distance
Connection Server allows the remote PC to access LAN resources (like LAN
Server or NetWare Server) as though it were physically connected to the
LAN. Or, using a peer networking product (such as LAN Server Peer Services
or Windows for Workgroups), a LAN Distance Remote PC can connect to
another LAN Distance Remote PC and share files and printers.
2. LAN Distance Connection Server for OS/2 provides the ability to bridge
your LAN to a wide area network, allowing access from remote PCs. Powerful
security features make certain that only authorized remote users have
access to your critical LAN resources. The LAN Distance Connection Server
allows unprecedented freedom for you to choose your remote access
configuration. LAN Distance is a software solution that can support up to
128 concurrent communications sessions and does not require a dedicated
PC. LAN Distance Connection Server (8 Port) for OS/2 has the same features
as the LAN Distance Connection Server. For smaller environments, it
provides a lower cost alternative supporting up to 8 remote PCs at the
same time.
Following is a list of the strengths of LAN Distance:
Low Cost per connection
Since LAN Distance is a software-only solution that does not require a
dedicated connection server or special PC hardware, you get not only
outstanding cost-performance, but also an easy upgrade path as your
organization and remote computing needs grow.
Application Transparency
LAN Distance extends your LAN applications to wide area networks using the
same LAN application programming interfaces. This allows you to run your
LAN applications remotely with complete transparency. LAN Distance supports
all major network applications, such as IBM LAN Server, Novell NetWare,
Artisoft LANtastic**, Windows for Workgroup, Communications Manager/2,
PC/3270, TCP/IP, DB2/2, Person-to-Person, Lotus Notes, and many others.
High Performance
Sophisticated filtering techniques minimize the amount of unnecessary
traffic on the dial-up connection. Users have found that most interactive
applications have response times as though the workstation is physically on
the LAN. Even batch applications, such as file copies, are still remarkably
responsive.
Remote Connectivity
In addition to exceptional asynchronous communications, LAN Distance
supports synchronous, ISDN, and X.25 connections. LAN Distance also
provides an extension to the industry-standard NDIS LAN device driver,
allowing standard PC communications adapters to be supported.
Advanced security features
A variety of security features are included to protect the integrity of LAN
resources, including user ID/passphrase, call-back, terminal address
identification, security administration, and configurable security
policies. In addition, LAN Distance provides a generalized security exit
that allows you to interface to third party authentication servers.
LAN-to-LAN
While attached to the central LAN, you can have the LAN Distance Connection
Server dial off the LAN to another LAN or remote PC. This allows you to
connect, or bridge, for an occasional connection or backup alternative.
LAN Shuttle
Using the LAN Shuttle feature, users can run the same applications and
access the same data through identical user interfaces, whether they are
physically connected to the LAN or dialing in remote.
Graphical User Interface
LAN Distance provides an object-oriented graphical user interface with
extensive online helps to guide the user through administration or remote
computing.
Hardware Requirements
Connection Server or Remote: i386sx (or compatible) or higher; Supported
Communications adapter and Modem (9600 bps minimum);
Connection Server: Supported LAN Adapter
Software Requirements
Connection Server: OS/2 2.0 or higher

o IBM DATABASE 2 OS/2 and IBM Distributed Database Connection Services/2
o IBM DATABASE 2 Client Application Enablers and IBM DATABASE 2 Software
Developer's Kits
o IBM CICS OS/2
o IBM DataHub 1.2
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 7.5.1. IBM DATABASE 2 OS/2 and IBM Distributed Database Connection Services/2 ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
The IBM DATABASE 2 OS/2 1.2 (DB2/2) product is a 32-bit relational database
management system and a member of the IBM DATABASE 2 (DB2) family of products.
This family includes DB2 for MVS, DB2/VSE & VM (SQL/DS*), DB2/400, IBM DATABASE
2 AIX/6000, IBM DATABASE 2 for HP-UX, and IBM DATABASE 2 for the Solaris**
Operating Environment.
The IBM Distributed Database Connection Services/2 (DDCS/2) product provides
open connectivity for applications that need to access and update host
databases transparently from OS/2, DOS, and Windows database client
workstations.
Evolving Family of Database Products
The DB/2 product is designed for growth, and it answers the requirements
for host-database access, as well as providing support for building new
line-of-business applications for both the single-user workstation and the
client/server LAN environments. Because DB2/2 has many built-in functions
for mission-critical applications and a robust database engine that is
similar in design to that of DB2 for MVS, it provides an excellent platform
for database application development.
The commitment IBM has to database products on the desktop and in the
client/server environment means your investment in these products today
will be justified as IBM enhances and converges the family members in the
future. Other related members of the IBM family are:
o The IBM Visualizer family. The workstation products in the Visualizer
family are Query, Charts, Procedures, Plans, Statistics, and Ultimedia
Query and Development. These products are designed to help you turn raw
data into valuable business information.
o The DataHub products. These products offer a powerful way to manage IBM
relational databases using a task-oriented graphical user interface.
o The DataReplication products. These products support end-to-end data
replication from legacy data stores to the workstation relational
environments.
o The VisualAge* object-oriented application-building power tool. VisualAge
can create advanced line-of-business applications for client/server
environments in a fraction of the time normally required.
With the DB2 family of database products, your investment in both host-based
and workstation-based relational data is protected by Distributed Relational
Database Architecture* (DRDA*). DRDA and the DDCS/2 product enables
applications running on DOS, Windows, or OS/2 workstations to transparently
access and update data stored in IBM host databases or other databases that
support the application server function of DRDA. To the end-user or
application program, the host database can be thought of as an extension to
the DB2/2 Version 1.2 database server capabilities.
High Performance
Performance enhancements have been made to DB2/2 Version 1.2 to exploit
OS/2 for SMP. You can expect query workloads to scale between 1.8 and 1.9
on a dual processor machine. These changes will also benefit DB2/2 Version
1.2 workloads running on non-SMP systems. With these enhancements, you
could expect to see a performance improvement of up to 40% over DB2/2
Version 1, depending on the workload, in high contention situations.
Performance is enhanced by a cost-based optimizer that determines an
efficient method of retrieving data using proven mathematical rules as well
as query specific cost estimates. Performance of application programs can
also be improved through the use of stored procedures and row blocking.
Stored procedures provide the ability to distribute application workloads
between clients and servers. The ability to split an application program
by running the processing logic on the server and presentation logic on the
client can provide increased performance over traditional requester access.
These improvements can be dramatic for applications requiring intermediate
processing of data, which can be performed at the database server.
Performance is also enhanced by reducing the number of requests crossing
the network. Row blocking helps reduce this traffic by providing remote
transmission of data in blocks.
DB2/2 supports multiple levels of concurrency (repeatable read, cursor
stability, and uncommitted read) along with a granular locking scheme
(row-level and table-level) that help you tune application performance.
You can set both the concurrency level and the level of granularity to
maximize performance, while still ensuring your data is protected.
Integrity and Security
Data integrity is essential to a relational database management system.
Data integrity refers to the accuracy and credibility of the values within
database tables. Wherever data is shared, there is a need to manage and
control operations to maintain the integrity of the data in the database.
Full transaction support is provided by DB2/2 in much the same manner as in
the IBM host databases. Any reading or writing to a database is done
within a transaction. If the transaction completes normally, the changes
are made to the data (COMMIT). All changes to tables and indexes have log
entries written that provide sufficient information to allow the database
manager to back out of an update (ROLLBACK) before any changes are made to
the actual data.
Concurrent, multiuser application access is provided by row-level
(record-level) locking. Row-level locking ensures that an application
maintains control of a database row until the transaction completes. This
prevents another application from changing a row simultaneously, which
might result in data loss.
DB2/2 supports declarative referential integrity. This ensures the
consistency of data values between related columns in different labels.
Referential constraints apply to insert, update, and delete operations that
are performed on the table data. This implementation is consistent with
the DB2 for MVS implementation.
There are two levels of security that control access to DB2/2 and the data.
Access to the DB2 system and data is managed by the operating system with a
set of user and group validation and management functions. Access within
the database is managed by two administrative authorities: system and
database. These authorities give other users or groups the privilege to
create objects, run utilities, issue database commands and access data.
High Availability
High availability is achieved through the backup and restore utilities, as
well as through log and data separation. DB2/2 1.2 has a new Backup API to
allow a database administrator to perform a backup while others are
connected to the database. This new option causes the backup to wait until
current transaction activity completes, and prevents any new transactions
from starting. After a quiesced state has been established, a backup is
taken. During this time, other users of the database still maintain their
database connections. After the backup has completed, user transaction
activity resumes.
Full backup capability is provided using ADSTAR's Distributed Storage
Manager. This allows data to be packed up to a remote MVS or VM system.
To aid in recovering from a media failure, there are utility programs to
back up and restore data. The backup utility copies the entire database to
disk or tape. The restore utility is used to reload a database that was
saved using the backup utility. Roll-forward recovery allows for the
rebuilding of a database to a state beyond the time that the last backup
was made.
Standards Support
DB2.2 supports SQL, which is very compatible with SQL supported by DB2 for
MVS, making it very easy to transfer both skills and applications for the
host systems into a client/server environment.
Standards and architectures supported by DB2/2 and DDCS/2 include DRDA,
Call Level Interface (CLI) defined by X/Open, and Microsoft's Open Database
Connectivity API. DRDA is implemented through the DDCS/2 product, which
allows client applications to access data stored in the IBM host databases.
X/Open's draft specification for a CLI defines the use of dynamic SQL
without the need to precompile the program. Similarly, Open Database
Connectivity (ODBC) allows Windows applications that are ODBC-enabled to
use the database with no precompilation necessary, making applications that
use CLI or ODBC independent of any particular database server.
Utilities to Manage Your Environment
A set of database administration utilities are provided with DB2/2. They
are installed optionally and provide functions for managing both DB2 and
its databases.
o Configuration Utilities help you to specify the resources allocated for
the database.
o Recovery Utilities help you perform backup and restore functions.
o Directory Utilities provide functions for creating and using databases.
Flexible Pricing
DB2/2 1.2 and DDCS/2 2.2 offer flexible price and performance packaging
options based on the number of concurrent users connected to a DB2/2 1.2
server or DDCS/2 2.2 gateway. The pricing structure has changed to provide
a lower cost entry into the DB2/2 client/server and DDCS/2 environments.
The DB2/2 1.2 Client/Server and DDCS/2 2.2 Multi-User Gateway base products
each support up to 4 concurrent users. As the number of users connected to
the database server increases, additional user connection packs can be
ordered. Ten-user and 50-user connection packs are available, and one or
more of these packs can be ordered.
Third-Party Vendor Support
Many leading vendors have taken advantage of the power, flexibility, and
ease-of-use of the DB2 products that run on the workstations. These
database applications are written for a wide range of industries and users.
You can contact your IBM representative for a complete listing of these
vendors.
Client/Server Support
Support for the client/server environment is a high priority for many
businesses. DB2/2 1.2 Client/Server supports remote clients residing on
DOS, Windows, or OS/2. When DDCS/2 1.2 Multi-User Gateway is installed,
these clients have access to the host enterprise data.
Remote clients can access DB2/2 1.2 Client/Server using NetBIOS, APPC, and
Novell NetWare IPX/SPX. The DB2 Client Application Enabler/DOS 1.2 and DB2
Client Application Enabler/2 1.2 provide the capability for the remote
clients to access DB2/2.
DB2/2 1.2 (both the single-user and client/server versions) can function as
a client to other DB2/2 servers. The NetBIOS and APPC communications
protocols are supported in this configuration.
Software Development
IBM provides a suite of products that support application development for
DB2/2. The IBM DATABASE 2 Software Developer's Kit/DOS 1.2 and IBM
DATABASE 2 Software Developer's Kit/1.2 (DB2 SDKs) support client-based
application development; development can also be done on the DB2/2 1.2
server using similar functions.
Applications can be written to run with DB2/2 in embedded SQL in C,
FORTRAN, COBOL, PL/1, and REXX. Facilities are also provided for compiler
writers to develop their own support for embedded SQL. In addition, the
DB2 SDKs provide the capability to develop applications using the DB2 Call
Level Interface (CLI).
DB2/2 1.2 includes Query Manager, a LAN-based end-user tool. Query Manager
provides a user-friendly, prompted interface to many database functions, as
well as query capability.
DB2/2 and DDCS/2 are key elements in the commitment IBM has to providing
industrial-strength database products and connectivity on the desktop and
in the client/server environment.
DB2 is a proven design with database integrity and recovery features that
truly earn it the designation "industrial strength". The IBM DB2 family of
products has a long history of solid performance and reliability. Every
DB2 product is fully backed up by IBM service and support. Your proven DB2
applications can be easily extended to new systems, and migration is
simple, allowing existing DB2 skills to be leveraged as your network
environment evolves.

ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 7.5.2. IBM DATABASE 2 Client Application Enablers and IBM DATABASE 2 Software Developer's Kits ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
The IBM DATABASE 2 (DB2) Client Application Enabler and the DB2 Software
Developer's Kit products are elements of the complete suite of the IBM DB2
industrial-strength database solutions for networked environments. This suite
provides high-quality database management systems, client/server support, and
transparent access to host DB2 databases: DB2 for MVS, DB2/VSE & VM (SQL/DS),
and DB2/400.
Client connectivity and application development are key strengths within the
DB2 family of products. The DB2 databases in the client/server environment are
designed to support clients and application development on a wide variety of
platforms: OS/2, DOS, Windows, AIX/6000, HP-UX, and the Solaris operating
environment. When the Distributed Database Connection Services (DDCS) product
is installed, clients can access and update host DB2 databases.
Client/Server Support
Support for the client/server environment is a high priority for many
businesses. The DB2 databases in the client/server environment run on a
number of operating systems: OS/2 (IBM DATABASE 2 OS/2), AIX/6000 (IBM
DATABASE 2 AIX/6000), HP-UX (IBM DATABASE 2 for HP-UX), and Solaris (IBM
DATABASE 2 for the Solaris Operating Environment). Clients might reside on
DOS, Windows, OS/2, AIX/6000, HP-UX, or Solaris.
To allow remote clients to access data stored on members of the IBM
Relational Database Management database, several client application
enablers are provided as follows:
o IBM DATABASE 2 Client Application Enabler/DOS 1.2
o IBM DATABASE 2 Client Application Enabler/2 1.2
o IBM DATABASE 2 Client Application Enabler/6000 1.0
o IBM DATABASE 2 Client Application Enabler for HP-UX 1.0
o IBM DATABASE 2 Client Application Enabler for the Solaris Operating
Environment 1.0
Using client application enablers, remote clients can access a DB2
client/server database using a variety of protocols.
If Distributed Database Connection Services (DDCS) is available, remote
clients can also access DB2 for MVS, DB2/VSE & VM, DB2/400, and other
relational database management systems that support the Distributed Relational
Database Architecture (DRDA) application server function.
All DB2 Client Application Enablers provide:
o Client configuration support
o The ability to register applications with the database server
o Import and export capability
o Run-time support for applications developed using the DB2 Software
Developer's Kits or developed using the application development tools
provided by the DB2 clients/server database servers
o Run-time support for both IBM and non-IBM products that use the DB2
client/server databases
The DB2 Client Application Enabler/DOS provides client support for both the
DOS and Windows environments. In addition to the base function provided, the
DB2 Client Application Enabler/DOS provides a driver that supports Windows
ODBC-enabled database applications.
DS and Windows clients on a Novell NetWare LAN, in conjunction with Firefox,
Inc. NOV IX for NetWare, can now access IBM DATABASE 2 AIX/6000 (DB2/6000*)
and IBM DATABASE 2 for HP-UX (DB2 for HP-UX).
OS/2 users can run DOS applications under virtual DOS sessions, or Windows
applications under WIN-OS/2 sessions that access the client/server databases.
This support is provided by the DB2 Client Application Enabler/DOS. When the
DB2 Client Application Enabler/DOS code is installed on the same machine as
IBM DATABASE 2 OS/2 (DB2/2), DOS and Windows clients can access local
databases without the need for communications protocols or communications
adapters.
Software Development
IBM provides a suite of products that support client-based application
development. The DB2 Software Developer's Kits (SDKs) provide support to
build applications that use data stored in IBM relational databases. The
DB2 SDKs provided are:
o IBM DATABASE 2 Software Developer's Kit/DOS Version 1.2
o IBM DATABASE 2 Software Developer's Kit/2 Version 1.2
o IBM DATABASE 2 Software Developer's Kit/6000 Version 1
o IBM DATABASE 2 Software Developer's Kit for HP-UX Version 1
o IBM DATABASE 2 Software Developer's Kit for the Solaris Operating
Environment Version 1
The DB2 SDKs provide facilities to develop applications using the embedded SQL
interface or the DB2 Call Level Interface (CLI). The DB2 CLI, based on X/Open
draft specifications, is a method of starting database services without having
to precompile the application programs.
Applications developed using DB2 SDKs require client application enablers to
be installed on the remote client where the applications are to be used.
All DB2 SDKs include:
o Precompilers, code samples, and a complete set of user documentation for
developing embedded SQL applications
o Programming libraries, code samples, and documentation to develop
applications using the DB2 CLI in the C-programming language
o Interactive SQL, allowing both the novice and the experienced user to
perform ad-hoc queries and to prototype SQL statements
o Header files and libraries to assist others in enabling embedded SQL
processing within their compilers
o All functions provided by the corresponding client application enabler
The development languages supported by the DB2 SDKs are C, COBOL, FORTRAN,
PLII, and REXX.

ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 7.5.3. IBM CICS OS/2 ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
The IBM Customer Information Control System (CICS) OS/2 is based on and offers
transaction management features found in CICS/ESA*. Currently CICS is available
on the OS/2, OS/400, VSE, MVS/ESA, and AIX platforms. Future versions will be
enabled to run on HP and NT** platforms. It operates as a high-performance
server for clients, supports cooperative processing with other CICS family
systems, and provides powerful online transaction processing (OLTP)
capabilities to support business mission critical applications and data in
client-server environments. This allows CICS OS/2 to work with CICS/ESA to
process large volumes of transactions a day when that kind of power is needed
in a client-server environment.
Client/server applications can easily be developed using the same expertise
being used on the mainframe and application development for host CICS can be
done on CICS OS/2, thereby off-loading the mainframe. Applications can be
ported to and from the mainframe.
CICS OS/2 Version 2.0 is licensed as single-user or multiuser server. If CICS
OS/2 Version 2.0 multiuser is licensed, then distributed client features can
also be licensed for the support of LAN attached client workstations.
CICS OS/2 Version 2.0 multiuser distributed client feature function may be
installed or downloaded into client machines on the LAN. Function is provided
for OS/2, DOS, and Windows client machines and is optimized for these
environments. DOS and Windows clients can occupy less than 100KB of storage.
Applications running in client machines, in addition to requesting CICS
function from the server, can interface to other local applications and can run
their own user interfaces, including advanced GUIs.
CICS OS/2 Version 2.0 multiuser server may be used by a LAN server machine. It
provides a catcher function in the server to accept requests from LAN attached
client machines. Clients use the services of the server through Transaction
Routing (transparent to the client), External Call Interface (ECI), or External
Presentation Interface (EPI). Transaction Routing allows the client to run
current CICS 3270 applications transparently.
CICS OS/2 Version 2.0 includes Btrieve technology for its emulated VSAM file
management. It contains improvements that include more granular locking of
files, a forward recovery capability and batch data sharing. Additionally, a
utility is provided to allow customers to migrate their existing CICS OS/2
Version 1.20 VSAM files onto a CICS OS/2 Version 2.0 system. Developers of
other file managers can enable their product to act as an alternative emulated
VSAM file manager.
CICS OS/2 Version 2.0 multiuser supports ETHERAND and Token-Ring LAN
architectures. In addition, the server can be linked to any other CICS family
system for cooperative processing, including other CICS OS/2 Version 2.0
multiuser servers.
CICS OS/2 Version 2.0 single-user machines capable of full-function CICS
operation can, when attached to a LAN, act as clients to CICS OS/2 Version 2.0
multiuser. They can request CICS function in the server in the same way as
other client machines, but can also perform their own CICS processing. They
can also accept requests from the server machine for cooperative processing,
acting as an auxiliary or offload processor to the server. This allows (for
example) a large LAN to be supported by one server running CICS OS/2 Version
2.0 multiuser, assisted by one or more further machines running CICS OS/2
Version 2.0 single-user, rather than employing a single very high-powered
multiuser machine.
CICS OS/2 Version 2.0 single and multiuser server applications can be written
in C, C++, COBOL, and 32-bit PL/1 languages. CICS OS/2 provides EBCDIC support
for COBOL applications, which allows CICS programs to receive and send EBCDIC
data without the need for user data conversion tables.
CICS OS/2 Version 2.0 multiuser includes extensions to provide an interface to
the Programmable Network Access (PNA) program. This enables it to support the
environment of a workgroup consisting of a cluster of low-cost ASCII terminals
attached by the ARTIC card to a server PS/2. To use this, you must also
license the PNA product. ASCII terminals access CICS function by the
equivalent of a 3270 screen attachment. Clusters can be large. For example, 5
ARTIC cards may be plugged into a PS/2 Model 95, each supporting 8 ASCII
terminals, to give a cluster size of 40.

ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 7.5.4. IBM DataHub 1.2 ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
IBM DataHub is a set of products that provides an OS/2-based workstation
control point, called a DataHub/2 workstation, from which you can manage IBM
relational database management systems in a consistent way. The relational
databases include: DB2, DB2/VM, DB2/400, DB2/600, and DB2/2.
If you are considering or implementing client/server computing or distributed
database, or just trying to better integrate your existing systems, you are
already concerned with such questions as: How do you manage enterprise-wide
database systems? Who will manage such systems at remote locations? How can you
minimize training costs yet maximize productivity?
DataHub products are designed to answer these questions and to help you meet
the challenges of managing a complex environment from one point of control. It
is useful to think of DataHub products as a client/server application with the
DataHub/2 workstation (the OS/2 control point) functioning as a client to
database machine servers. Part of the DataHub software resides at the
workstation control point, and another part resides at the managed database
systems. A user starts an action at the DataHub/2 workstation, a command is
sent to the managing database system where it is carried out, and the results
are sent back to the workstation.
The DataHub/2 workstation provides a graphical, task-oriented work environment
in which database objects such as databases, tables, indexes, and user
authorizations can be displayed and managed in a common way, no matter which
IBM relational databases they are part of. This usability makes information
technology personnel more effective because they can transfer their ability to
manage one of IBM's relational databases management systems (such as DB2 MVS)
to any of the others (DB2/2, DB2/6000, and so on).
Working from a DataHub/2 workstation, users can manage client/server and
distributed database systems located anywhere in the enterprise from a central
point of control. They can access catalog information without having to know
each database system's structure, and they can invoke a variety of database
management functions and a number of different tools supplied by IBM and other
vendors, all from the workstation control point. As you add new databases and
host systems to your environment, DataHub gives you the flexibility to locate
them anywhere in the enterprise and manage them from a central control point.
DataHub 1.2 provides automatic job scheduling, BACKUP and RECOVER utilities for
DB2/2 databases, and interactive send/receive for DB2 MVS, along with a variety
of usability enhancements and support for managing DB2/6000.
Because DataHub products are designed to give you flexibility and choices in
how you manage your databases, the hardware and software requirements depend on
such things as the number and location of DataHub/2 workstation control points
needed in your environment, your LAN configuration, and the number and type of
databases to be managed. The requirements for the DataHub/2 workstation depend
on whether you plan to use stand-alone workstations, or establish multiple
DataHub/2 workstation control points on a LAN using the DataHub/2 Platform
Requester feature. This feature allows you to install and configure DataHub/2
workstations as requesters to a DataHub/2 workstation server on a LAN.
The DataHub/2 workstation can be configured in one of these three ways:
Stand-alone workstation
A single DataHub/2 workstation control point is connected to the managed
hosts.
Workstation server
A DataHub/2 workstation is installed and configured as a code server to
LAN-attached DataHub/2 workstation requesters.
Workstation requester
A lower cost but fully functional DataHub/2 workstation, the requester
accesses DataHub/2 code at the server but executes it locally.
If the stand-alone or server DataHub/2 workstation is on a LAN, the DataHub/2
database and the DDCS/2 gateway connection to the managed database systems can
be located on any OS/2 workstation in the LAN that is a database server using
the client/server version of DB2/2 Information Technology.
DataHub products can be an integral part of your enterprise's Information
Technology (IT) strategy. They protect your existing information systems
investment and facilitate expansion into the new database environments.
DataHub's task- oriented work environment and consistent interface for using
tools and managing multiple databases adds to DataHub's strategic value to
your enterprise. As announced in October 1994, DataHub will support UNIX-based
control points and multi-vendor databases in early 1995.
To run all of DataHub's functions, you need to have DataHub Support products
installed at each managed database system. Also, you need the appropriate
communications and connectivity products. The following hardware and software
requirements are for the DataHub/2 workstation only.
Hardware Requirements
OS/2 2.1 capable or higher; 120MB DASD, all workstation types. 12MB of RAM,
stand-alone and requester workstations; 14MB of RAM, workstation server

ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 7.6. Systems and Network Management ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
This section contains the following topics:
o System Management Concepts
o IBM NetView for OS/2
o IBM LAN NetView Management Utilities for OS/2
o IBM NetView Distribution Manager/2 2.1
o IBM Distributed Console Access Facility 1.2
o IBM Systems Performance Monitor/2

o Backup Programs and Utilities
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 7.6.1. System Management Concepts ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
The Concept of a manager/client division of work is fundamental in the
distributed systems management industry. These definitions stated very simply
follow:
Manager
A manager (also called managing system) is responsible for the management
of other systems.
Client
A client (also called agent or managed system) is responsible for providing
information about itself to the managing system.
Managing System components are:
o End user interface or automated operator
The manager has (optionally) a user interface to display information
gathered by the management applications. If an operator is not available or
not required, automation can be used to analyze the data collected and act
on anticipated events. A manager could, in turn, be a managed system from
another manager. Thus, information gathered at one manager could be
forwarded to another in either a hierarchical or peer relationship.
o Management process application
A manager contains some managing process. This is an application that
contains the logic and commands to process the management data received from
the agents.
Clients contain agents that provide a linkage between the objects to be
managed and the transport to the manager.
Agents respond to commands from the manager and collect requested data
concerning the managed device. Agents can respond to commands from the
manager or send unsolicited information to the manager if conditions arise
that dictate such an action.
Management information about a resource includes status, characteristics, and
data about some specific aspect of a managed device. This information can be
hardware or software information. The information is stored in a management
information base (MIB). Some examples of information are:
o Name of user for the system
o Status of software (running/not running)
o Number of jobs in the print queue
o Amount of memory on a system
o Amount of memory in use
o Names of users logged on to a server
To communicate, the agent and manager use a specific protocol, or language,
called the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP). SNMP was created to
manage the Internet network funded by the United States Government with links
to networks throughout the world. Internet is the largest network in the world
with thousands of attached networks and millions of attached devices. The
devices include personal computers, mainframes, servers, and network equipment
such as routers and hubs.
o Transport protocol
In addition to a management protocol (the language) there must be a protocol
for communication. The transport can be in the same device (cross memory,
for example), local (across a LAN or channel), or remote (across a wide area
network). If the management protocol is the language for communications,
then the transport protocol is the medium for communications. As we speak,
the medium is the air through which sound travels. Or, the medium could be
the telephone wires when we speak over the telephone.
Ideally, the management protocol should be able to use any transport
protocol that you have. That is, as long as we are speaking the same
language, it should not matter whether we are speaking in a room together,
over phone wires, over a LAN using IBM's Person to Person product, over
radio, or any other media.
o Two way
Another key aspect to the management protocol is the requirement for it to
be a two-way method of communication. The agent should be able to notify
the manager of critical conditions, and the manager should be able to send
commands to the agent.
A client is managed by a manager. Clients contain agents which respond to
commands from the manager and sends the requested management information back
to the manager. The agent and manager communicate using SNMP.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 7.6.2. IBM NetView for OS/2 ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
Local Area Network (LAN) and Wide Area Network (WAN) administrators require
comprehensive and readily available information to keep user productivity high
and to efficiently manage the resources on their networks. LANs are becoming
increasingly widespread, and end users rely on their networked PCs for critical
business applications.
LAN administrators are responsible for ensuring that users have maximum access
to network resources and minimum interruption in service, whether a problem is
involved, or whether a planned change is required to respond to the needs of
the business. LAN administrators are also challenged to control costs; not
only hardware and software costs, but the increasing costs of supporting a
network.
IBM NetView for OS/2 specifically addresses these requirements:
o Increasing the ability to efficiently use network resources
o Increasing productivity on the LAN
o Increasing control of hardware, software, and support costs
For administrators, IBM NetView for OS/2 is an industry-standards-based
managing system platform for creating and running systems management
applications. Standard applications and agents are included so you can
immediately begin managing your environment.
LAN Server, NetWare, OS/2 1.3/2.X, IBM DOS 5.0/6.1, MS-DOS 5.0/6.0, Windows
3.0/3.1, and Microsoft NT are all supported right out of the box. Other
critical network devices such as hubs, routers, database servers,
communications servers, and Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) devices
are supported.
The common user interface for NetView for OS/2 is provided by the Management
Desk component, which presents system and network resources as graphical
objects on the display. This provides a convenient, object-oriented method
for performing operations. Clicking on the icon brings up a menu of
applications that can be performed against the resource.
The benefits of NetView for OS/2 are improved availability of network
resources, greater efficiency for administrators, reduced costs over the
running life of the LAN, and better service for all network users.
IBM NetView for OS/2 provides:
o A comprehensive, integrated set of systems management programs from IBM and
other vendors for both local and remote LANs
o A common, graphical user interface that integrates IBM and non-IBM
applications
o Topology display for different perspectives of the network, with automatic
discovery and monitoring of resources
o IBM resource manager agents for OS/2, NetWare, DOS, DB2/2, and CM/2
o Fault, Performance, Configuration, and Operations applications to support
these and other agents
o Host Connection, allowing two way communications with NetView and other SNMP
Management Platforms, such as NetView for OS/2 or NetView for AIX
o An extendible product for future support of other platforms in addition to
the current platforms

client/server enterprise environment. It allows a designated workstation to
manage both servers and requesters in IBM LAN Server and Novell NetWare
networks by providing the following systems management functions:
o Operations management
o Configuration management
o Performance management
o Fault and problem management
LMU consists of a graphical display of the local area network (LAN), command
and data transport, and management applications (Configuration, Performance,
Operation, and Fault), and it can collect asset information into an OS/2
database. User-written applications can supplement those supplied by IBM.
LMU can run as a stand-alone application or be seamlessly integrated into the
NetView for OS/2 framework.
Among the facilities offered by the IBM supplied utilities are:
Configuration Management:
o Collects vital product information about the OS/2, DOS, Microsoft Windows
3.1, and Macintosh workstations, as well as the NetWare servers and IBM
LAN Servers being managed. This data is either displayed on the managing
station screen or placed in a central OS/2 database.
o Maintains a change log in the managing station, and optionally generates
an alert when a managed station's configuration changes.
o Monitors the number of instances of specific OS/2 application programs in
an OS/2 workstation and sends generic alerts to the Fault Management
system when user-specified thresholds are reached.
Operation Management:
o Provides the capability to remotely run a program or procedure at a
managed OS/2 workstation, Windows workstation, or NetWare server station.
OS/2 and Windows console text output can be optionally redirected to the
administrator workstation or to IBM NetView. Some LMU functions can be
remotely run on a Macintosh system.
o Provides the ability to shut down in an orderly manner all functions in a
managed OS/2 system or NetWare server, and to optionally reboot the
system.
o Schedules program execution on one or more OS/2 workstations, Windows
workstations, Macintosh workstations, or NetWare server workstations on a
timed basis.
Performance Management:
o Collects OS/2 workstation performance data from the IBM System
Performance Monitor/2 (SPM/2) product, sends the collected information to
a central OS/2 database, and optionally generates generic alerts when
user-specified thresholds are reached.
o Monitors the set of workstations (adapters) logged on to a specified OS/2
LAN server for IBM NetBIOS status, and generates generic alerts when
specific conditions occur.
o Collects OS/2 LAN server statistics and generates generic alerts when
thresholds are reached.
o Monitors network statistics for Novell's IPX and SPX layers for OS/2 and
DOS workstations attached to a NetWare file server, and generates generic
alerts when user-specified thresholds are reached.

ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 7.6.4. IBM NetView Distribution Manager/2 2.1 ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
NetView Distribution Manger Version 2.1 (NetView DM/2) provides remote
administrator server control functions to OS/2, MS** Windows, and DOS
workstations in a LAN. System and application software can be distributed or
installed at any workstation running the Change Control Client component of
NetView DM/2 2.1 client/server application either locally or remotely.
The same client workstations can be effectively managed and controlled from the
host, or from a designated LAN workstation (running the NetView DM/2 Extended
base component, Change Control Server module) with no need of local
intervention from a user at the client workstation site.
The host and the designated LAN workstation also allow complete tracking of
changes applied at each target workstation by recording history information in
the central repository (host) and in the local catalog (OS/2 designated
workstation).
In particular, NetView DM/2 enhances the application of OS/2 system software
changes by complying to the Configuration, Installation, Distribution (CID)
directions established for the installation, upgrade and update of OS/2 system
(and subsystem application) software, by:
o Performing a remote unattended redirected install. NetView DM/2 is the key
CID compliant software distribution product for the unattended installation
of OS/2 software changes.
o Providing the installation of changes through the usage of response files,
including disk space checking on the end-user client workstations.
o Starting the OS/2 Install program of the system or subsystem being installed
and, consequently, by preserving and migrating all the individual user
customization applied to each workstation.
o Remote extended server administration (Remote Administrator feature).
When connected to a host System/370 or S/390, where NetView DM Release 5 is
running, NetView DM/2 also enhances the distribution of files to
LU6.2-connected workstations running NetView DM/2 2.1 Entry or 2.1 Extended by
implementing data conversion (EBCDIC to ASCII) and data compression
algorithms.
NetView DM/2 2.1 provides the capability to install and remove software and
data to NetWare-managed servers through the use of NetWare Requester for OS/2
or NetWare Workstation Kit for OS/2. This support includes:
o NetWare Loadable Module (NLM)

ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 7.6.5. IBM Distributed Console Access Facility 1.2 ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
Distributed Console Access Facility (DCAF) Version 1.2 addresses the need for a
personal computer-based central site "Help Desk" function. It can be used to
facilitate network management, network administration, problem determination,
and application assistance and training involving personal computer
workstations distributed across SNA networks and on NetBIOS LANs. With
switched asynchronous connection capability, DCAF Version 1.2 can also be used
as a point-to-point, station-to-station connection for home-to-office
configurations, remote support applications, or as a backup for control of
remote stations when the SNA connection is unavailable. A controlling station
can be used to run most full-screen text mode or OS/2 Presentation Manager (PM)
applications on a workstation, including applications that run on IBM OS/2 LAN
Server Version 1.3 or higher, the IBM PC LAN Program (PCLP) Version 1.34, and
user-developed applications. DOS/Windows and OS/2 Seamless Windows
applications are also supported. No special programming is required; the DCAF
function is transparent to the application being run.
Once a session is established, the target workstation receives all keystrokes
entered at the controlling workstation, with the resulting screen images
displayed on both the controlling and the target workstation. The target
workstation also receives mouse commands from the controlling workstation. The
controlling and the target workstations can switch from this operating mode to
a monitoring mode in which target users control their own keyboards, but their
screen images are echoed on the controlling personal computer.
The controlling workstation communicates to an OS/2 or OS/2 Seamless Windows
target workstation through an LU6.2 (SNA) connection, either direct to another
station through telecommunications across a LAN or across an SNA backbone.
Switched asynchronous links can be used instead of SNA links, or as a backup
for when the SNA link is not available. DOS targets and DOS/Windows targets
are accessed through the DCAF LAN gateway. Additionally, the DOS/Windows target
workstation can be accessed directly from the controlling workstation.
The benefit of DCAF is that it allows you, or another expert, to monitor and
assist a remote user without ever leaving your office. DCAF also allows you to
perform operations such as remote back-ups and remote problem solving from a
central site. DCAF security features range from simple password security to
elaborate schemes that are capable of protecting mission-critical applications
and data (for example, remote branch banking) through userid, passphrase,
access control lists, and encryption support.

ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 7.6.6. IBM Systems Performance Monitor/2 ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
Whether you are an administrator, analyst, or developer, it is important for
you to be able to identify and solve performance problems quickly and
accurately. Systems Performance Monitor/2 (SPM/2) 2.0 helps you do just that
by collecting, recording, graphing, and reporting performance data for the
following critical OS/2 2.X system resources:
o CPU (to the process and thread level)
o Disk
o Memory and Working Set
o File accesses
o HPFS/FAT Cache
o Printer Ports
o Comm Ports
Resource usage and performance data can be broken down to the system,
application, process, or thread level.
LAN Server and Requester 3.0 resources are also collected. SPM/2 2.0 lets you
collect data from your local system or from remote workstations and servers
connected through IBM LAN Server and Requester.
You can graphically display realtime CPU, Disk, RAM, and Working Set
utilization, or playback previously collected data from a log.
Reports are provided to enable analysis of collected information:
o Summary, Tabular, and Dump reports available for OS/2 resources
o Dump reports available for LAN Server/Requester resources (Dump reports
contain the full detail of every metric value that was read from the
operating system without any summarization.)
The PM-based Theseus2 memory analysis tool helps you determine application
memory requirements and usage down to the process level, and lets you navigate
through the OS/2 2.x memory management control blocks. Extensive on-line help
is also provided for understanding OS/2 2.x memory management.
If you are a developer, you can use APIs to directly access performance data
as it is collected, or to define performance metrics specific to your
application. Then you can have SPM/2 2.0 collect and report that data.

ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 7.6.7. IBM LAN Network Manager and LAN Station Manager ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
IBM LAN Network Manager Version 1.1
Whether you manage your local area networks (LANs) locally from a workstation
or centrally from the host System/390 NetView program (with or without
MultiSystem Manager MVS/ESA), you can do so more efficiently with the IBM LAN
Network Manager 1.1 program. This LAN physical layer management tool enables
you to manage multisegment Token-Ring networks, LAN bridges and Token-Ring
hubs. Customers that have multivendor Token-Ring networks receive full value
from their hardware investment when they use LAN Network Manager because it
supports the Token-Ring architecture in the most comprehensive manner, while
complementing other network management solutions.
Easy to learn and use
Easy navigation through graphic displays at the network, segment, and
device level, provides the following:
Fault Management
Status changes are shown as they occur on the topology display. You can
navigate through the displays to the exact location of the problem or
potential problem and access the event log for more detailed
information, including suggested actions for problem resolution.
Configuration Management
The LAN topology is drawn and updated dynamically, showing all devices
and their physical and logical relationships. A configuration database
is maintained in the relational OS/2 Database Manager for easy access.
Using the open interfaces available, applications can be written to
perform detailed analysis of the event log, isolating trends in network
and system availability.
Performance Management
LAN Network Manager collects performance statistics on Token-Ring
bridges and on IBM 8209/8229 Token-Ring to Ethernet LAN bridge. Ring
utilization can be obtained from the LAN Station Manager.
Local Automation and Two-Way Communication with NetView
A command line interface enables customers to easily write applications to
provide local automation using the alert user exit.
Automation routines can then be used to speed diagnostic and corrective
action for LAN problems.
The command and response facilities from NetView V2.2 or higher, enable
users to issue all LAN Network Manager commands from a NetView console
using the command line interface, thereby enhancing the capability to
manage a LAN/WAN network from a single console.
Heterogeneous LAN Management
LAN Network Manager uses international standards to communicate with the
IBM LAN Station Manager to gather vital product data. The management
protocol is based on Open Systems Interconnect (OSI) and uses Common
Management Information Protocol (CMIP) for the request/response service.
IBM LAN Network Manager Entry V1.0
The LAN Network Manager Entry program is intended for customers who want
centralized management of LANs from NetView 2.2 or higher. It provides the
same capabilities of LAN Network Manager with single-segment LANs who wish to
manage the LAN from the NetView console, thereby eliminating the need for a
graphic user interface or LAN administration at the remote segment. This is a
lower cost solution for LAN management in an environment that has many remote
single-segment LANs and NetView 2.2 or higher.
IBM LAN Station Manager V1.0
The LAN Station Manager program is an agent to LAN Network Manager, which
provides new solutions for LAN asset management and control. An important
function of LAN Station Manager is the reporting of ring utilization of the
Token-Ring segment on which at least one of its workstations is located. Also,
with the rich set of station-identifying information from LAN Station Manager
and the attachment information from the 8230 CAU, the LAN Network Manager user
can build a dynamic LAN topology that can provide information on the active
and inactive stations on the network. The location and movement of station
assets can be monitored. Access to the LAN can be controlled using the 8230.

This section contains the following topics:
o ADSTAR Distributed Storage Manager/2
o SaveUtility/2 1.1
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 7.6.10.1. ADSTAR Distributed Storage Manager/2 ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
The ADSTAR Distributed Storage Manager/2 (ADSM/2) is a client/server
application providing automated backup and archive to multivendor workstations,
personal computers, and LAN file servers.
The ADSM/2 server runs on OS/2. Using an intuitive graphical user or
command-line interface, administrators can easily define schedules remotely, so
ADSM/2 runs automated backups and archives that are unattended. Just as easily,
the administrator can arrange disk, tape, and optical storage into a hierarchy
that is managed and optimally utilized by ADSM/2. ADSM/2 monitors thresholds,
reclaims fragmented space on tapes, migrates data from one media to another,
keeps client files on as few tapes as possible, and more.
As environments change, ADSM/2 allows administrators to move an existing ADSM/2
server to a smaller or larger system with different operating systems. Or, it
can move part of one server's definitions and data to another ADSM/2 server to
better balance the workload.
ADSM/2 users can recover any backed-up versions of their files through a simple
point and click graphical user interface.
To reduce network bandwidth and server storage, ADSM/2 can compress client
files before sending them to the server.
ADSM servers are also available on AIX/6000, MVS/ESA, VM/ESA, VM/XA*, and
OS/400 platforms. IBM will provide servers on Sun Solaris, HP-UX, and VSE.
ADSM clients available on all server platforms are: Macintosh, DEC ULTRIX**,
DOS, HP-UX, AIX/6000, OS/2 and OS/2 Double-Byte Character Support, Windows,
NetWare, SCO** UNIX 386 and Open Desktop**, SunOS, and Solaris.
ADSM/2 supports a variety of storage devices and the widest array of
communication protocols in the industry, which enables ADSM/2 to fit easily in
a customer environment.

ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 7.6.10.2. SaveUtility/2 1.1 ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
IBM SaveUtility/2 is a full-function backup and recovery program for all
workstations participating in a LAN. SaveUtility/2 offers the capability of
backing up all files in an OS/2 or DOS environment including hidden files, long
file names, and extended attributes. Any server, bridge, gateway, or end user
system can send all data, programs, and files to a single system that manages
data storage, tracking, and control. It supports both NetBIOS and IPX/SPX
protocols.
IBM SaveUtility/2 improves quality by making it easy and automatic to back up
data from up to 250 workstations (servers, gateways, bridges, and end users) to
a single location. This enables better customer service to the end user,
ensuring data and system integrity and availability.
Each LAN workstation can perform automated, unattended backup of data in either
a full, incremental or progressive mode, allowing full control of the backup
process. Data restoration of a single file, multiple file, subdirectory, or
entire disk can occur for any system stored data. Restoration can be initiated
by the end user, or remotely by the administrator, simply by requesting the
files from a displayed list. IBM SaveUtility/2 also has the ability to
completely restore the system data to the point of last backup, even if the
disk were replaced. Access control lists, when utilized, are associated with
the file at backup time and returned during restoration.
There can be a single point of administration and control with IBM
SaveUtility/2 for all workstations participating in the backup system. All
workstations send data to a single workstation that monitors activity, logs
events, controls the processes, and moves the data to archive storage. From
this workstation, an administrator can manage workstation profiles, monitor
ongoing events, and analyze past events for completeness.
IBM SaveUtility/2 is independent of the LAN operating system and relies upon
base network transport capabilities for data transfer between the participating
workstation and the single-storage site. A mass-storage device is required for
each backup system implemented. This device can be a personal computer tape
drive, optical drive, or telecommunications link to another computer.

Lotus SmartSuite for OS/2 1.1 is the only complete desktop suite of native
applications for IBM's OS/2 operating system. Comprised of the native 32-bit
OS/2 versions of Ami Pro, 1-2-3, Freelance Graphics, and cc:Mail, the suite
provides compatibility with the Windows versions of those applications, as well
as the highest degree of cross-platform integration available today. SmartSuite
for OS/2 1.1 represents the simplest means of purchasing, installing, and
supporting a suite of integrated desktop applications.
Featuring all 32-bit native OS/2 applications, the suite takes advantage of
32-bit memory management, the drag-and-drop features of the Workplace Shell
interface, time-saving benefits of multithreading, and the added security of
working in a true multitasking environment.
The applications in SmartSuite for OS/2 provide a unique level of integration
and reflect Lotus' Working Together strategy. This strategy was founded on the
belief that users in today's networked environment need applications that work
together, work across platforms, and enable people to work with other people.
SmartSuite for OS/2 applications reflect Lotus' emphasis on developing software
that is easy to use and learn.
The following list describes the features of SmartSuite for OS/2 1.1:
The Lotus Application Manager
A new utility for enhanced integration. A simple click on the Lotus
Application Manager (LAM) palette allows you to launch or switch between
SmartSuite applications, Lotus Notes, and an OS/2 window. The Lotus
Application Manager resides on the OS/2 Workplace Shell when the SmartSuite
for OS/2 applications are minimized, or fits into the upper-right hand
corner of a SmartSuite application bar when maximized.
Shared Tools
Several technologies are shared across Lotus SmartSuite for OS/2
applications. For example, 1-2-3 and Freelance Graphics for OS/2 share a
common charting tool that provides a consistent user interface and feature
set for charting operations from within either product. And when both
Freelance** and 1-2-3 are installed in the same directory, hard file space
requirements are reduced because only one copy of the charting tool is
maintained. Similarly, Ami Pro and Freelance Graphics for OS/2 share a
common dictionary, once again saving system resources.
OS/2 and Lotus Notes
Notes supports 32-bit OS/2 2.0 client and server platforms. As an
inherently cross-platform application, Notes' back-end services enhance the

ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 9.8. IBM and Novell LAN Coexistence ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
Ken Mackin wrote in LAN Magazine, February 1993, "The Novell model is easy to
understand and implement. It works, but it is the most limited implementation
of distributed processing possible...it (LAN Server) can function in a straight
client/server model, a distributed server model, and a peer-to-peer distributed
model. A machine running LAN Server can also act as its own client in
client/server style....LAN Server holds every current notion of a network in
one package."
Therefore, LAN Server brings a lot of flexibility to a NetWare user. From an
OS/2 workstation, a customer can manage both NetWare and LAN Server resources
as access data. With IBM's migration utility, you can perform a nondestructive
migration and run NetWare and LAN Server concurrently, enabling double entry
before migrating.

ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 9.9. Distributed Computing Environment Interoperation ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
This portrays an environment where the IBM DCE products are used to deploy a
business-critical application across a heterogeneous network. DCE Client
requesters (OS/2, Windows, AIX, and OEM) use the AIX Cell Directory Services to
locate the DCE application servers transparent to the user. Use of the
application server (and other DCE resources) is authenticated using the AIX
Security Services, which deploys the open, secure, Kerberos model.
Developing applications using the DCE RPC model allows you to create software
that is highly portable. Application servers can either be replicated or ported
to faster hardware in order to improve overall throughput as business needs
grow.
DCE provides the infrastructure that allows multiple vendor platforms to not
only coexist, but truly interoperate in a secured environment.

(1) There are two OS/2 Warp products to choose from, depending on what your
system currently has installed and what type of applications you want to run.
Both of these include the support needed to run a wide variety of OS/2 and DOS
applications. If you already have Windows installed, the OS/2 Warp product
that uses your existing Windows is the product to choose. If you don't have
Windows installed and want to run Windows applications, choose the OS/2 Warp
product that includes IBM's WIN-OS/2 code, which provides the support required
to run most Windows applications.
