  11.            and communications function to Operating System/2 (R) (OS/2 (R)).
  12.            Both programs also contain data base administration tools, Query
  13.            Manager and enhanced communications support for local area network
  14.            (LAN) and stand-alone workstations.  The two programs are:  IBM
  15.            Extended Services with Database Server for OS/2 and IBM Extended
  16.            Services for OS/2.  Associated only with the Extended Services with
  17.            Database Server program, is a distributed feature called Database
  18.            Client Application Enablers.  The function offered as a distributed
  19.            feature is a subset of that provided in the program product.  This
  20.            feature enables DOS, DOS Windows and OS/2 clients to access any
  21.            Extended Services data base server on a LAN.  This same client
  22.            support can provide read/write access to IBM host servers supporting
  23.            Distributed Relational Database Architecture (TM) (DRDA (TM)) via the
  24.            IBM Distributed Database Connection Services/2 Version 1.0 product.
  25.            The IBM Extended Services for OS/2 program includes DOS, DOS Windows
  26.            and OS/2 client support similar to that in the distributed feature.

  98.            DESCRIPTION
  99.            INVESTMENT PROTECTION
  100.            Many customers rely on multiple vendors to provide their personal
  101.            computer hardware and software solutions.  IBM serves to both protect
  102.            and enhance these customer investments by providing Extended Services
  103.            functions to multivendor environments.
  104.            COMMUNICATIONS MANAGER:  Communications support for 3174 Peer
  105.            Communications, in conjunction with companion support in the 3174,
  106.            allows workstations connected via existing 3270 wiring (for example,
  107.            coaxial cable) to the controller to communicate with each other as if
  108.            interconnected in a manner similar to that available on token-ring
  109.            networks.  The 3270 EHLLAPI interface has been extended with support
  110.            for structured fields and enhanced to allow multiple, simultaneous
  111.            access by more than one application.  In addition, EHLLAPI functions
  112.            can now be used in REXX Procedure Language Programs for both 3270 and
  113.            5250 applications.  Virtual Device Drivers (VDDs) will allow NETBIOS
  114.            applications, running in a DOS partition, to share an adapter with
  115.            other DOS and OS/2 NETBIOS applications and allow existing DOS 3270
  116.            EHLLAPI applications to run in a DOS partition, sharing
  117.            Communications Manager EHLLAPI with other DOS and OS/2 applications.
  118.                   In addition, APPC support provided by the current Networking
  119.            Services/2 (NS/2) product has been integrated into the Communications
  120.            Manager.  Advanced Peer-to-Peer Network (APPN) function allows
  121.            existing APPC applications to take advantage of peer networks with
  122.            simplified configuration, improved performance, better availability
  123.            through dynamic routing, and easier network maintenance.  This means
  124.            that APPN networking, improved APPC support and the CPI-C interface
  125.            are all available within the Extended Services communications
  126.            function.
  127.            DATABASE MANAGER:  The Database Manager offers enhancements to permit
  128.            customers to enable existing DOS and DOS Windows-based machines to
  129.            participate as data base clients on a LAN.  Enhanced SQL capabilities
  130.            have been added bringing data base more into compliance with SAA SQL
  131.            Level 1.  Roll-forward recovery (archive logging) will significantly
  132.            reduce the need for manual recovery should a data base operation be
  133.            interrupted by a systems failure.  With the addition of the Database
  134.            Client Application Enabler Distributed Feature for the Database
  135.            Server version of Extended Services, workstations choosing the
  136.            NETBIOS protocol for LAN access to remote data bases and not
  137.            requiring a local data base, need only install the Distributed
  138.            Feature and data base applications over their OS/2 base operating
  139.            system.  This client/server implementation reduces the hardware
  140.            resources required at the workstation.  The Extended Services for
  141.            OS/2 version provides support for DOS, DOS Windows or OS/2 NETBIOS
  142.            applications only for the workstation upon which the program product
  143.            is installed.  Finally, both versions of Extended Services can
  144.            support read/write access to DB2, SQL/DS (TM) or OS/400 host data
  145.            bases via the IBM SAA Distributed Database Connection Services/2
  146.            Version 1.0 product.
  147.                   IBM DOS and OS/2 data base clients and server workstations may
  148.            coexist on a network with NetWare LAN requesters and servers.  In
  149.            addition, NetWare LAN requesters or servers may be installed on the
  150.            same workstation as the OS/2 data base client or server.

  152.            SYSTEMS MANAGEMENT
  153.            COMMUNICATIONS MANAGER:  Extended Services communications has been
  154.            enhanced to include a System/370 (TM) Remote Operations Facility for
  155.            NetView (R) and Router.  This will allow host-based central
  156.            administration of a workstation via commands initiated from the
  157.            NetView console or automatically via CLISTs or REXX execs.  Any
  158.            command line-based noninteractive OS/2 command may be remotely
  159.            invoked.  Also, for host CICS APPC applications involving Extended
  160.            Services workstations, "persistent verification" is offered to
  161.            provide ID checking with improved security.  Finally, APPN networking
  162.            imported from Networking Services/2 allows much easier configuration
  163.            and reconfiguration of a workstation on a wide area network (WAN).

  167.            DATABASE MANAGER:  The addition of First Failure Support Technology/2
  168.            (FFST/2) provides better support for data base applications with
  169.            logging of error and pertinent error information used for problem
  170.            resolution.  Logging is done automatically at the time of error
  171.            occurrence, thereby minimizing the need for customers to duplicate
  172.            error scenarios.  Database Tools are a set of Presentation Manager
  173.            (R) windowed application tools for Extended Services that provide a
  174.            graphical user interface for users to manage their data bases and
  175.            data base directories, and to configure an Extended Services data
  176.            base workstation.

  179.            USER PRODUCTIVITY
  180.            The speed of installation has been improved by the use of a popular
  181.            data compression/decompression algorithm.
  182.                   The LAN transport layer has been re-written to improve
  183.            performance.  Both the IEEE 802.2 and NETBIOS protocol stacks are
  184.            new.  This allows all applications, including Extended Services
  185.            communications and data base applications, to benefit from enhanced
  186.            performance across supported LANs.  Also, revised APPC support,
  187.            incorporated from NS/2, provides speedier processing for APPC
  188.            applications, particularly across a LAN.
  189.                   Extended Services offers new function designed to improve the
  190.            productivity from both the communications and data base applications.
  191.            COMMUNICATIONS MANAGER:  Enhancements include the addition of long
  192.            file names for file transfers, an increased number of simultaneously
  193.            active workstations through a SNA gateway, and better SNA gateway LU
  194.            pooling to improve session accessibility.  In addition, 3270 EHLLAPI
  195.            has been enhanced to allow multiple applications to run
  196.            simultaneously.  A window for the 5250 Workstation Feature has been
  197.            incorporated to allow easier manipulation of 5250 applications.  5250
  198.            configuration and installation has been improved by a simplification
  199.            of the procedure and revised publications.  Configuration and
  200.            installation productivity have been improved for the systems
  201.            administrator by replacing the Batch Configuration Utility with
  202.            programmable configuration support.  This is achieved via an
  203.            extension to the REXX/SAA language to allow programmed manipulation
  204.            of configuration files.
  205.            DATABASE MANAGER:  An SQL command line interface has been added to
  206.            provide users familiar with SQL the ability to enter SQL statements
  207.            to access LAN- and host-based data bases directly from the OS/2
  208.            command line.  This permits quick entry into Extended Services data
  209.            base functions without having to use a programming language or
  210.            complex user interface.  This same interface also can be used to
  211.            access host data through the IBM SAA Distributed Database Connection
  212.            Services/2 Version 1.0 program product.  For improved performance,
  213.            Remote Data Services will support NETBIOS as well as the APPC
  214.            protocol.  The SQL LAN-only option (SQLLOO) provided in OS/2 EE will
  215.            not be offered with Extended Services, although an Extended Services
  216.            data base server will support Extended Edition's SQLLOO clients.
  217.            OS/2 EE SQLLOO clients will be reconfigured to NETBIOS when the
  218.            workstation is upgraded to Extended Services.
  219.            GROWTH ENABLEMENT
  220.            The IBM Operating System/2 Version 2.0 is a key component of IBM's
  221.            software strategy for the enterprise.  In conjunction with its
  222.            companion products such as Extended Services, it will meet the
  223.            requirements for:
  224.            o   An SAA environment -- through the use of SAA Common User Access
  225.                (TM) (CUA (TM)), Common Programming Interface (CPI) and Common
  226.                Communications Support (CCS) elements.
  227.            o   An Open Environment -- through support of a variety of networking
  228.                and other open standards providing multivendor interoperability,
  229.                and through support of non-IBM 386SX and higher hardware
  230.                platforms.
  231.                   Extended Services will be perceived as a follow on and
  232.            enhancement to OS/2 EE.  Extended Services provides many of the
  233.            enhancements requested by Extended Edition customers.
  234.                   Extended Services can be installed over IBM's 16-bit OS/2 SE
  235.            Version 1.3 (Refresh Level 1.30.1) or can replace the communications
  236.            and data base functions of the OS/2 EE Version 1.3 when upgraded to
  237.            Refresh Level 1.30.1 or later.  It may also be installed on selected
  238.            non-IBM versions of the OS/2 16-bit operating system.  Extended
  239.            Services is also compatible with IBM OS/2 Version 2.0.  Extended
  240.            Services runs in the OS/2 Version 2.0 32-bit environment as a 16-bit
  241.            application.
  242.                   The addition of support for the industry standard NDIS
  243.            interface provides an opportunity for both IBM and non-IBM vendors to
  244.            exploit the presence of Extended Services by offering support for new
  245.            protocols and higher-performing adapters, such as the IBM Token-Ring
  246.            and Ethernet DMA adapters, in a more straight-forward manner.  The
  247.            availability of a standard NDIS interface makes the process of
  248.            developing and supporting function running across the interface
  249.            simpler and more open.
  250.                   Extended Services will support 32-bit OS/2 applications
  251.            created by the IBM C Set/2 Version 1.0 compiler.  This will allow
  252.            32-bit applications to call the Extended Services 16-bit Application
  253.            Programming Interfaces (APIs).

  1097.                    initialized using the PS/2 Installation Setup program.  When
  1098.                    more than one adapter is being installed, there are specific
  1099.                    DMA channels, called "arbitration levels" by the setup
  1100.                    program, that must be assigned to the primary and alternate
  1101.                    adapters to prevent failures.  The SDLC primary adapter,
  1102.                    called SDLC 1 during setup, should always be configured using
  1103.                    arbitration level 1.  The SDLC alternate adapter, called SDLC
  1104.                    2 during setup, should be configured using arbitration level
  1105.                    7.  Be sure to avoid another arbitration level that might be
  1106.                    in conflict with other installed adapters.
  1107.                -   Only one ASCII terminal emulation session (either IBM 3101 or
  1108.                    DEC VT100) can be active at a time.  However, an ASCII
  1109.                    terminal emulation session can be used concurrently with
  1110.                    other Asynchronous Communications Device Interface (ACDI)

  1117.                    will not configure in a Model 95.
  1118.                -   When running with the IBM OS/2 SE Version 1.3 Refresh level
  1119.                    1.30.1, under heavy file handling workloads, file handling
  1120.                    capability may be exceeded that causes non-activation of
  1121.                    adapters.  This limitation is removed in OS/2 SE Version 1.3
  1122.                    Refresh Level 1.30.2.
  1123.                       ASYNCHRONOUS COMMUNICATIONS
  1124.                       Asynchronous communications are subject to the following
  1125.                constraints:
  1126.                -   A maximum of two asynchronous ports on the IBM PC AT system

  1128.                    of three asynchronous ports on the other supported PS/2
  1129.                    computers.
  1130.                -   Interrupt levels also must be considered when multiple
  1131.                    adapters are used simultaneously, since some adapters use the
  1132.                    same interrupt levels.  For example, an asynchronous adapter
  1133.                    cannot be used concurrently with an SDLC adapter on the PC AT
  1134.                    or IBM PS/2 Model 30 286 system, because both adapters use
  1135.                    hardware interrupt levels 3 and 4.  This limitation does not
  1136.                    exist on other supported PS/2 systems, because they can share
  1137.                    hardware interrupt levels.
  1138.                           If both adapters are installed, users must maintain
  1139.                    two copies of the CONFIG.SYS file, one for each device driver
  1140.                    environment.  In addition, users must restart their system
  1141.                    using the required file, renamed to CONFIG.SYS, to load the
  1142.                    appropriate device before trying to start ASCII or 3270
  1143.                    terminal emulation (SDLC).
  1144.                -   Asynchronous terminal emulation does not support different
  1145.                    receive and transmit speeds.
  1146.                -   Half-duplex modems and attachments are not supported.
  1147.                -   The CCITT V.25bis recommendations are implemented in
  1148.                    Communications Manager for handling control signals at the
  1149.                    COM port.  Most modems support this standard.
  1150.                -   The DMA ASYNC capability requires OS/2 SE 1.3 Version 1.30.2
  1151.                    or later for support by Extended Services Communications
  1152.                    Manager.
  1153.                       X.25 SUPPORT
  1154.                       For X.25 communications, limitations are as follows:
  1155.                -   If enough system resources are available, a maximum of 128
  1156.                    permanent virtual circuits (PVCs) or switched virtual
  1157.                    circuits (SVCs), including up to 64 PVCs, can be defined on
  1158.                    each of these links.  Communications Manager supports
  1159.                    concurrent use of a total of 128 of the defined virtual
  1160.                    circuits.
  1161.                -   Additional constraints on the maximum number of virtual
  1162.                    circuits depend on factors such as the selected packet and
  1163.                    packet window sizes.
  1164.                -   Concurrent connection is supported on up to eight X.25 links
  1165.                    by the X.25 API.  Each link requires a separate IBM X.25
  1166.                    Interface Coprocessor/2 adapter.  Consequently, the actual
  1167.                    number of links is also limited by the number of adapters
  1168.                    that can be installed.
  1169.                -   Extended Services does not support the online facility
  1170.                    registration packet retransmission, the level 2 multilink
  1171.                    procedures, or the datagram service (which was withdrawn in
  1172.                    the 1984 recommendations).

  1174.                    applications can run concurrently, one of which normally
  1175.                    supports the higher level SNA applications, and the remainder
  1176.                    can be used for non-SNA applications.  However, this single
  1177.                    X.25 SNA application can itself support multiple concurrent
  1178.                    SNA applications, such as applications written to the higher
  1179.                    level SNA APIs of Communications Manager.
  1180.                -   A user application using the IBM Realtime Interface
  1181.                    Co-Processor:  Operating System/2 Support program may not run
  1182.                    on an IBM X.25 Interface Co-Processor/2 adapter concurrently
  1183.                    with Communications Manager X.25 support.  Users must set the
  1184.                    IBM X.25 Interface Co-Processor/2 adapter to use hardware
  1185.                    Interrupt Request 11 (IRQ11).  The default is Interrupt
  1186.                    Request 7 (IRQ7).  IRQ7 can interfere with a printer attached
  1187.                    to a parallel port of the workstation.  Follow the
  1188.                    instructions in the documentation provided with the PS/2
  1189.                    reference diskette.
  1190.                -   IBM Extended Services does not support an SNA connection to
  1191.                    an IBM Series/1 host computer.
  1192.                       IBM 3101 TERMINAL EMULATION
  1193.                       Communications Manager supports emulation of the IBM 3101
  1194.                Display Terminal Model 20, but does not support the following
