This tip provides an overview of the Service Location Protocol. Service Location Protocol (SLP) specifies a method to provide dynamic directory services specifically for finding servers by attributes rather than by name or address. In so doing, SLP provides a standard method of allocating service requests among a set of servers with some level of workload balancing. SLP uses multicast services to locate SLP components and unicast services to communicate between components.

This tip gives an example of creating a Host On-Demand macro. The macro feature of Host On-Demand allows you to build scripts (macros) consisting of command sequences that perform actions on the host. If you regularly do the same task when you work with a host system, you can record your keystrokes and the host's reactions, save them, and then play the macro whenever you need to perform the same task. This is an ideal way to store frequently used actions for repeated use.

This Redpaper will help you integrate existing host enterprise applications so that they can be accessed from portlets using the IBM WebSphere Portal Server product. Host application portlet support is provided by the current releases of IBM WebSphere Host On-Demand and IBM WebSphere Host Publisher products. In this Redpaper, you will find step-by-step examples showing ways to rapidly integrate your host enterprise applications, such as database, 3270, 5250 and VT applications, into an IBM WebSphere Portal Server environment by implementing new and enhanced capabilities incorporated in the current releases of IBM WebSphere Host On-Demand and IBM WebSphere Host Publisher. You will find numerous scenarios describing recommended ways to integrate your legacy applications using the portlet support and sample portlets provided by these products. A basic knowledge of Java technologies such as servlets, JavaBeans, JavaServer Pages (JSPs), as well as HTML and XML markup languages and the terminology used in Web publishing, is assumed.

Web-to host integration has become a well-known term and is understood as an integral part of any e-business. A majority of business-critical data and applications reside on IBM host systems such as IBM S/390, IBM AS/400 and IBM RS/6000. Making this information available to new users and using it in new ways across intranets, extranets and the Internet enable companies to reduce costs, improve services, generate new sources of revenue and establish a competitive advantage. The term legacy application extension is used to describe the trend where companies quickly move existing host applications to the intranet, extranet and the Internet without modifying existing applications. IBM Host Integration products provide a complete solution to address the legacy application extension space with solutions to address the needs of all user groups. This book provides a high-level technical overview of IBM Host Integration solutions. It addresses the issues of choosing a solution. The book features WebSphere network products that can be used to integrate the Web with existing customer host systems, including Host On-Demand, Host Publisher, and Screen Customizer. The functions they provide are compared to other Web-to-host products and features such as CICS Transaction Gateway, IMS Connect, etc.

By their very nature, e-business applications are more vulnerable to attack than any type of previous I/T system. Security needs to be at the heart of these systems because the costs of getting it wrong can be enormous. The publicity associated with a breach of security reduces customer, supplier and Business Partner confidence in the enterprise and the share price plummets. There also may be actual monetary theft, or confidential information might be compromised. Whatever the details, the result is a loss to the business, and in the extreme case, the loss of the business itself. Appropriate security needs to be in place for all systems - whether they are simply company Web pages with no access to the company intranet at all, or full-blown customer-to-business or business-to-business systems with external customers or partners having access to company systems. In this redbook, we show some of the best security solutions in which IBM Host Integration can operate. Network security is implemented to protect two objects: (1) the data that is transmitted on the network, and (2) the computers that are connected to the network. This Redbook is directed at I/T managers and architects planning for, or implementing, an IBM Host Integration solution. It explores aspects of network security while implementing an IBM Web-to-host host integration solution, consisting of IBM WebSphere Host On-Demand and IBM WebSphere Host Publisher. It describes the native security capabilities of each product and how they may be used by t
