access to iSeries servers (not just through Windows).
iSeries Access for Windows
(Previously known as AS/400 Client Access Express for Windows)
Enhancements include:
iSeries Access for Web:
iSeries Access for Web runs on WebSphere Application Server V4 (the
V5R1 version of iSeries Access for Web runs on WebSphere Application
Server V3.5) and on Apache Software Foundation's Jakarta Tomcat. Also,
this version can be configured to run on more than one Web application
server concurrently. New functions introduced in this release include:
Host Publisher V4:
Compatible with WebSphere Application Server V4
-
Host Publisher Server requires that WebSphere Application Server V4 be
installed, and supports:
-
WebSphere Application Server V4 plus latest PTFs Advanced Edition (AE)
and Advanced Edition Single Server (AEs) for iSeries
As part of the WebSphere V4 environment, the following enhancements are
included in Host Publisher:
Web Services,

iSeries using the iSeries ODBC Driver for Linux. This ODBC driver is
based on the ODBC driver in the iSeries Access for Windows product. Like
that driver, the ODBC Driver for Linux uses the iSeries database host
servers as the access point to the server, using a socket connection.
Key Points:
-
iSeries ODBC Driver for Linux is an ODBC 3.5 ANSI driver with the ability
to store and process Unicode data.
-
Versions of the driver exist for both Linux running in an iSeries LPAR
and Intel-based Linux workstations.
-
The driver connects to OS/400 V4R5, and later.
-
iSeries ODBC Driver for Linux is available only as a Web download.
Refer to:
WebSphere Application Server V4 (5733-WS4, 5733-WA4)
WebSphere is a set of software products that help you develop and manage
high-performance Web site to ease the transition from simple Web
publishing to advanced e-business Web applications.
V5R2 iSeries offers two WebSphere options to choose from:
WebSphere Application Server V4 Advanced Single Server Edition for
iSeries (5733-WS4)
-
Java application server based on servlet-based engine that turns your
existing Web server (HTTP Server for iSeries) into a Java Web application
server
-
Core element of the Application Framework for e-business
-
Foundation of the WebSphere application server family
-
Offers application developers a solution to build, deploy, and manage
e-business Web sites
WebSphere Application Server V4 Advanced Edition for iSeries (5733-WA4)
Builds on and enhances the Single Server Edition with additional support
for scaling Web sites into security-enhanced, transactional e-business
application sites.
WebSphere Commerce (5724-A18)
WebSphere Commerce for iSeries V5.4
Tap into the vast Internet market, increase your business, and improve
your productivity by developing a business-to-consumer or
business-to-business Web site with WebSphere Commerce Professional
Edition (WCPE) or WebSphere Commerce Business Edition (WCBE).
-
Reduce the cost of sales transactions
-
Attract and retain customers with relationship marketing
-
Create and manage marketing campaigns and promotions with WebSphere
Commerce Accelerator
-
Track shoppers' past purchasing activities for improved customer service
-
WCPE includes a number of enhancements over the previous version (V5.1),
including improvements to order management, catalog editing, commerce
accelerator, commerce analyzer, live help collaboration, payment
processing, auctions, and a new business-to-business store model
-
Use WCBE to provide sell-side managed contracts, sell-side request for
quotation (RFQ), approvals workflow, requisition lists, online
buyer/seller collaboration, and advanced user management and access
control
CICS® Transaction Server for iSeries (5722-DFH)
Programs written for the CICS Clients and the CICS Transaction Gateway
can access CICS transactions on iSeries over a TCP/IP network. This
provides an identical function to what is available only over SNA
networks.
CICS client/server programming allows existing host-based applications to
be enabled for client environments. The CICS Transaction Gateway
enables these same applications to be used in Web serving environments.
Both of these environments are available through either SNA or TCP/IP
networks.
DB2 UDB Extenders V7.2 (5722-DE1)
The DB2 UDB Extenders for iSeries V7.2, combining the XML Extender and
the Text Extender, provides functions that utilize the Independent
Auxiliary Storage Pools (IASPs) provided by the operating system.
Additional functions improve performance and usability.
XML Extender enhancements in OS/400 V5R2:
-
The XML Extender allows databases on IASPs to be enabled for XML
extender.
-
The XML Extender provides two new composition stored procedures that
return the XML document in a CLOB and does not require a result table.
-
The XML Extender provides new extract user-defined functions that return
table values. The extracting functions extract the element content or
attribute value from an XML document and return the requested SQL data
types. As some element or attribute values have multiple occurrences,
the extracting functions return either a scaler or a table value. In
V5R1, XML extender only supported returning scalar values.
Text Extender enhancements in OS/400 V5R2:
-
The Text Extender can function with a database on the system or user ASP,
or with one/several databases on IASPs.
-
A new SEARCH_RESULT function returns the result of a search in an
intermediate table. It can be used in a FROM clause of an SQL statement.
This UDF is faster than CONTAINS or RANK when processing large tables.
Content Manager OnDemand for iSeries (5722-RD1)
Content Manager OnDemand for iSeries V5.2 provides additional functions
for ease-of-use and flexibility:
-
Automatic loading of non-spooled data in IFS, such as PC files, is
supported through the STRMONOND command in Common Server. This frees the
end user from manual intervention of loading PC files into OnDemand
Common Server environment.
-
Text search is enabled for AFPDS documents in Common Server environment.
-
Enhanced OnDemand commands take advantage of new OS/400 spooled file
attributes.
-
Additions and enhancements to the sample programs have been made for both
Common Server and Spool File Archive environments.

Terms and Conditions
Subcapacity terms and conditions for the following products only
PID
WebSphere(R) Application Server 5733-WA3
Advanced Edition for
iSeries, V3.5
WebSphere Application Server 5733-WA4
Advanced Edition for
iSeries, V4

Edition for iSeries, V5.4
The flexibility of subcapacity pricing is announced for selected products
running on IBM iSeries and AS/400® hardware capable of logical
partitioning. This allows customers to pay for software based on the
number of processors in each logical partition where the program is
defined (runs) rather than the total number of processors in the machine.
LPAR was introduced at V4R4 and is the earliest release where these new
terms could apply. This announcement does not change program service
dates for V4R4. For details on Passport Advantage and compatible
OS/400® releases, refer to the individual product announcements.
Subcapacity licensing permits a customer to license a product for use on
less than the full capacity (in processors) of the machine. A product
must be isolated to a logical partition using IBM-provided tools to be
eligible for subcapacity licensing. The products listed above can be
optionally subcapacity licensed on iSeries and AS/400 hardware capable of
logical partitioning.
In the future, subcapacity licensed customers will be required to send
license manager software inventory logs to IBM. These logs will be
audited for license compliance.
Customers may choose to license the eligible products either for full
capacity (as in the past) or subcapacity of the machine, depending on
their requirements.
Currently, the above software is priced by the full capacity of a machine
under terms that permit customers to reallocate authorizations to use
this software among the customer's machines. With respect to previously
acquired authorizations for this software, IBM will permit the customer
to take advantage of subcapacity pricing under the condition that the
customer agrees to a restriction on reallocation of authorizations among
the customer's machines. The customer must agree that when they choose
to reallocate authorizations from one machine to another machine, all
authorizations allocated to the first machine must be reallocated to the
other machine. The authorizations on a machine may not be reallocated
among multiple machines.
With subcapacity pricing, the number of processors that need to be
licensed is the aggregation of all processors, including partial shares
of a processor, across all partitions of a single machine (where the
program is defined), rounded up to the next highest whole number.
The licensing and pricing of these products is based on the whole number
of processors. On iSeries hardware, processor units are used by the
system to size partitions. One processor unit is equal to the size of
one dedicated processor. Processor units are not licensed or priced
they are only used to define the size of a partition. For example, if a
4-way iSeries machine has WebSphere Advanced Application Server running
in two partitions sized at 0.6 processor units and 0.7 processor units,
the total number of processing units is 1.3. Since the product is priced
and licensed based on the whole number of processors, this customer would
need two processor licenses of WebSphere Advanced Application Server.
The number of processor units is independent of the number of physical
processors running the logical partitions. For example, if a customer
has WebSphere Advanced Application Server in a partition sized at one
processor, which is divided equally across four physical processors of
the machine (in other words, the partition is using 0.25 processor units
of four physical processors), then this customer has one processor unit
and would need one processor license of WebSphere Advanced Application
Server.
The remaining terms and conditions are unchanged by this announcement.
