Description
WebSphere Application Server V3.5, Advanced Edition adds the following
features to its already function-rich environment:
Platform Support
Two new operating platforms are now supported: HP-UX 11 and Windows
2000. Consistent function and capabilities are provided across all of
the platforms supported. Version 3.5 expands the list of platforms
that already includes Windows NT, Sun Solaris (both V2.6 and V2.7), and
AIX/6000®. Combine this list to three other now-available
implementations of WebSphere Application Server, Advanced Edition for
OS/400®, Red Hat Linux, and Novell Netware — and we have a
comprehensive cross-platform structure.
Java 2 Software Development Kit V1.2.2 Support
SDK 1.2.2 is the latest stable version of the Java Virtual Machine base
required within the server runtime environment. WebSphere now supports
SDK 1.2.2 as well as providing it within the product package across all
supported operating platforms. SDK 1.2.2, provides increased performance
and expanded capabilities for improved dynamic and static Web content.
Usability
WebSphere Application Server V3.5, Advanced Edition provides ease-of-use
across installation, administration, and product documentation. As a
result, WebSphere Application Server V3.5, Advanced Edition now has a
comprehensive, complete, and accurate Web-based documentation center that
users can take advantage of right from the start. The installation and
administration procedures have improved usability while still maintaining
a rich and flexible set of selectable configurations and prerequisites
for tailored, open, and complete solutions.
Product Integration
An important aspect of WebSphere (core to the foundation services of
IBM's e-business platform), is its integration capabilities with other
leading products for a robust set of application solution offerings. The
integration with Lotus Domino is enhanced with better support for
Domino's security framework providing single sign-on abilities for
Web-based clients. The integration with WebSphere Commerce Suite is
improved with performance and security features. The integration with
VisualAge for Java Enterprise Edition is enhanced with support for the
Java 2 Software Development Kit V1.2.2 base across platforms when
generating e-business applications such as servlets, Java Server Pages,
JavaBeans, and Enterprise JavaBeans components.
Transaction Management
WebSphere's EJB Server monitors and controls containers used within the
server. Persistent storage for transactional EJB components now includes
support for Sybase which can be used in conjunction with or instead of
the already-supported DB2® (distributed as part of WebSphere) and
Oracle databases.
HTTP Server
A function-rich IBM HTTP server (based on technology from the Apache HTTP
server) is included with additional security and performance enhancements
new for V3.5:
-
Fast Common Gateway Interface providing a considerable boost in CGI
performance.
-
Lightweight Directory Access Protocol Client 3.1 Support on NT, AIX, and
Sun Solaris.
-
NT Performance Monitor.
-
Proxy Support: Proxy support enabling "forwarding" of HTTP requests from
one server (the proxy) to another. The proxy server makes the request on
behalf of the client. Proxy capability is required in products such as
IBM Small Business suites.
-
Remote Configuration Updates.
-
Server Start/Stop.
-
Web Distributed Authority and Versioning and new for V3.5, remote access
to files on the server via third-party software.
WebSphere Application Server, Advanced Edition
WebSphere Application Server V3.5, Advanced Edition carries over the
functions of the previous version including:
-
A rich e-business application deployment environment with a complete set
of application services for transaction management, security, clustering,
performance, availability, connectivity, and scalability
-
Leading-edge implementations of the most up-to-date Java-based
technologies and APIs
-
Comprehensive connectivity support for interacting with relational
databases, object databases, transaction processing systems, MQ-enabled
applications, and hierarchical databases
-
A migration path to a more scalable and transactional environment from
WebSphere's Standard Edition with a superset of capabilities for a
complete Java-based Web application platform
-
A focus on medium- to high-level transactional environments used in
conjunction with dynamic Web content generation and Web-initiated
transactions
-
Performance and scaling attributes that support bean-managed and
container-managed persistence for entity beans and session beans with
transaction management and monitoring
-
Container management and persistent storage within a transactional
environment for Servlets and Enterprise JavaBeans components
-
A rich eXtensible Markup Language (XML) parsing and configuration
environment
-
Admin Client and the Distributed Debugger component

Ordering Information
WebSphere Application Server V3.5, Advanced Edition is a stand-alone
product with one charge unit — processors. It is available in units of
one. The "Processor Program Package" feature (CD-ROM) is required for
the first processor on the first server. A "1 Processor Entitlement" is
required for each processor beyond the first one. WebSphere Application
Server V3.5, Advanced Edition is available at an upgrade price for those
customers currently licensed for the following qualifying programs:
WebSphere Application Server V1.0, V1.1, and V2.0, V3.0, and V3.5
Standard Edition, and V2.0 and V3.0 Advanced Edition. Upgrades can be
acquired up to the current level of use authorized for the qualifying
programs.
The price of WebSphere Application Server V3.5, Advanced Edition is based
on the number of Processors in the system or node executing all or any
part of the WebSphere Application Server, Advanced Edition application.
In the case of a symmetric multiprocessor (SMP) system, the customer must
also acquire the "1 Processor Entitlement" feature.
The following examples illustrate the pricing methodology:
-
Two 4-way SMPs, whether stand-alone systems or nodes in a larger system,
would require the WebSphere Application Server V3.5, Advanced Edition
"Processor Program Package," and seven "1 Processor Entitlement"
features.
-
Upgrade from WebSphere Application Server V2, Advanced Edition on a 4-way
SMP would require the WebSphere Application Server V3.5, Advanced Edition
"Processor Program Package Upgrade" and 3 WebSphere Application Server
V3.5, Advanced Edition "1 Processor Upgrade Entitlement" features.
-
Upgrades from WebSphere Application Server V2, Advanced Edition
1-Install, require a WebSphere Application Server V3.5, Advanced Edition
"1 Processor Upgrade Entitlement" feature.
