i5/OS (5722-SS1): Operating system licensed products 585
Draft Document for Review October 18, 2004 5486LPOpS.fm
Data returned from DB2 UDB iSeries can be presented in ASCII format, which is
expected by the majority of UNIX applications.
OS/400 PASE applications can be fully integrated with other iSeries server
applications, for example, an Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) application
implemented in ILE, a WebSphere application written in Java, or Lotus Domino.
A suite of applications can run together in a job mix or be separated into their
own LPARs, depending on the performance and scheduling requirements of the
customer.
New with V5R2
AIX 5L support
Linux library support through AIX 5L
Compile C, C++ programs WITHIN OS/400 PASE
PTY, TTY support
Support for launching JVM from OS/400 PASE
OS/400 PASE now supports an expanded application development environment.
It has additional installation support and use of the IBM VisualAge C++
Professional for AIX V6 (5765-F56) and IBM C for AIX V6 (5765-F57) compiler
programs. These compilers can be installed and used in OS/400 PASE,
eliminating the need to compile OS/400 PASE applications on a separate AIX
system.
OS/400 PASE programs can now also launch the iSeries integrated JVM.
Conversely, the iSeries integrated JVM supports native methods implemented as
procedures in an OS/400 PASE executable. It is easier to port AIX applications
that use a combination of Java and C/C++ code to OS/400 PASE.
IBM Print Services Facility (5722-SS1 Options 36, 37, 38)
IBM Print Services Facility™ for OS/400 (PSF/400) provides support for
high-function Advanced Function Presentation (AFP) electronic printing and print
management of Intelligent Printer Data Stream (IPDS) printers. With AFP,
application output can be transformed into fully graphical documents with
electronic forms, image, graphics, barcoding, lines, boxes, and text in a wide
variety of fonts. This flexibility enables the production of electronic documents
that are more effective, and enables the re-engineering of business processes.
Documents and reports can be produced using a variety of enabling tools,
including Infoprint Designer for iSeries (5733-ID1). Other enabling tools include
OS/400 printer file keywords (for front and back overlays, N-up, and duplex), DDS
printer files, iSeries page and form definitions, Advanced Print Utility (APU), and
AFP Toolbox. Output created by network and client applications can be
transformed to AFP, and, therefore, managed by PSF/400 to IPDS printers.
