TXSeries™ for Multiplatforms V6.1 now supports the HP-UX on HP Integrity platform, in addition to
support for IBM AIX®, SUN Solaris, Microsoft™ Windows™, and HP-UX (PA-RISC) platforms.
TXSeries for Multiplatforms is a distributed CICS® Online Transaction Processing (OLTP)
environment with an integrated CICS Structured File System (SFS) that is used for the deployment of
business-critical applications. You can develop managed TXSeries services written in COBOL, C /
C++, PL/1 and Java™, which can be integrated into your service-oriented architecture (SOA).
Vastly simplified infrastructure:
TXSeries for Multiplatforms V6.1 extends and enhances the next generation of distributed CICS across
the IBM AIX, Microsoft Windows, SUN Solaris, HP-UX (PA-RISC) and HP-UX on HP Integrity platforms.
This simplification allows:
-
TXSeries CICS without the Distributed Computing Environment (DCE) or Encina® prerequisites
-
Communication using high-performance and secure-shared memory
-
Simplified installation with InstallShield for Multiplatforms
Significant enhanced administration capability:
TXSeries V6.1 also delivers a powerful and intuitive Web-based administration console, which lets
you intuitively manage and configure TXSeries systems and resources. The Web-based interface is
designed to be similar to the WebSphere® administration console. Enhanced function includes:
-
Display of current status information for TXSeries components
-
Intuitive grouping and sorting of information
-
Assistance with the configuration of TXSeries resources
-
Ability to view, filter, and search event logs
-
Error codes — Now hyperlinked to message explanations
-
Availability in all Group 1 languages
-
Remote Web browser-based administration for TXSeries regions

Charge metrics definitions
Value Unit
A Value Unit is a pricing charge metric for program license entitlements which is based upon the
quantity of a specific designated measurement used for a given program. Each program has a
designated measurement. The most commonly used designated measurement is a processor core.
However, for select programs, there are other designated measurements such as users, client devices,
and messages. The number of Value Unit entitlements required for your specific implementation of
the given program must be obtained from a conversion table associated with the program. You must
obtain a proof of entitlement (POE) for the appropriate number of Value Unit entitlements for your
implementation. The Value Unit entitlements of a given program cannot be exchanged, interchanged,
or aggregated with Value Unit entitlements of another program.
Processor (Value Unit)
A processor (commonly called a 'CPU' or 'core') is a functional unit within a computing device that
interprets and executes instructions. A processor consists of at least an instruction control unit
and one or more arithmetic and/or logic unit. With multi-core technology, each core is considered a
processor. Not all processors require the same number of Value Unit entitlements. To determine the
number of Value Unit entitlements required, refer to the processor value unit conversion table on
the Passport Advantage Web site
With full capacity licensing, a POE must be acquired for the appropriate
number of value units based on all activated processors on the server
available to the program or a component of the program.

Sub-capacity for selected middleware products
Sub-capacity licensing on a per-processor or per value unit basis is available for selected
middleware products. To offer sub-capacity licensing, IBM software products implement IBM Tivoli®
License Manager within their offerings so that customers can monitor and report quarterly to IBM on
their use of the programs on a continuous basis.
More information can be found on the Passport Advantage Web site
Eligibility requirements for sub-capacity licensing
To be eligible for sub-capacity licensing terms on this product, you must
agree to install and configure IBM Tivoli License Manager for IBM
Software, in accordance with the IBM Tivoli License Manager publications,
and to enable the collection of program use data on all eligible machines
subject to sub-capacity terms.
For those machines running programs with sub-capacity licensing terms,
you must use IBM Tivoli License Manager for IBM Software to monitor
program use and submit to IBM an IBM Use Report each calendar quarter.
Multiple copies of IBM Tivoli License Manager for IBM Software or IBM
Tivoli License Manager are not required. You can use more copies if you
need them to support your operational environment, but only one copy is
required to monitor all your sub-capacity licensed products.
Additionally, if this is the first product you have licensed under
sub-capacity terms, you must agree to the terms of an attachment to your
Passport Advantage or Passport Advantage Express contract and submit a
new Passport Advantage enrollment form. First-time sub-capacity clients
also have an opportunity to ensure a Primary Business Contact is
established for their contracts.
For more information on required and entitled license capacity, license
requirements and reporting, refer to
205-093
, dated April 19, 2005.
If you order (this product) under sub-capacity terms, IBM Tivoli License
Manager for IBM Software will be made available to you if you do not
already have one. You must install and configure this tool for your
sub-capacity products. Alternately, you can use Tivoli License Manager.
Once the license manager software is installed, you will be required to
register online (IBM may need to contact you in order to finalize the
registration process). You must monitor program use on a continuous
basis with an IBM Tivoli License Manager for IBM Software and submit IBM
Use Reports to IBM on a calendar quarterly basis.
IBM Tivoli License Manager for IBM Software is documented in the
following customer publications, which are available from IBM

IBM Global Services has transformed its delivery of hardware and software support services to put
you on the road to higher systems availability. IBM Electronic Services is a Web-enabled solution
that provides you with an exclusive, no-additional-charge enhancement to the service and support
available on the IBM eServer® platform. These services provide the opportunity for greater system
availability due to faster problem resolution and preemptive monitoring. IBM Electronic Services is
comprised of two separate but complementary elements: IBM Electronic Services news page and IBM
Electronic Service Agent™.
IBM Electronic Services news page provides you with a single Internet entry point that replaces the
multiple entry points traditionally used by customers to access IBM Internet services and support.
The news page enables you to gain easier access to IBM resources for assistance in resolving
technical problems.
The IBM Electronic Service Agent is no-additional charge software that resides on your IBM eServer
system. It is designed to proactively monitor events and transmit system inventory information to
IBM on a periodic, customer-defined timetable. The IBM Electronic Service Agent tracks system
inventory, hardware error logs, and performance information. If the server is under a current IBM
maintenance service agreement or within the IBM warranty period, the Service Agent automatically
reports hardware problems to IBM. Early knowledge about potential problems enables IBM to provide
proactive service that may result in higher system availability and performance. In addition,
information collected through the Service Agent will be made available to IBM service support
representatives when they are helping answer your questions or diagnosing problems.
