This improves overall stability and eliminates the need for daemons
(background tasks) to run on the client.
Includes an extensive number of APIs for ODBC, Active X, ADO, OLE DB,
and others
Includes iSeries Navigator connection to your system with a graphical
interface that looks and feels familiar to Microsoft Windows platforms
The Navigator provides capabilities for stepping through the initial iSeries and
OS/400 setup and configuration, and then moves into providing a GUI for
day-to-day management of servers. You get point-and-click functionality to
manage a single or hundreds of servers.
Includes EZ-Setup, which is a set of wizards that guides you through the initial
setup of a new iSeries server
EZ-Setup helps you configure OS/400 Operations Console, set system
values, configure security, create system administration user profiles,
configure a connection from the iSeries to LAN, set up a Domino, Internet, or
a Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) server, and back up your
server.
Includes Operations Console, which allows your PC to be used as the system
console and to perform control panel functions
You can administer your local iSeries server as well as iSeries servers at
different locations. Operations Console provides support for a LAN, TCP/IP
dial-up connectivity, and direct cable attachment. This enables you to perform
system functions such as performing an initial program load (IPL) on the
system and more.
A task tray icon that enables silent installations so that users know when a
silent installation is occurring
The creation of customized install CD images to include the SSL component
The ODBC and OLE DB components ported to run natively on 64-bit
Windows .NET Server 2003 operating system (on Intel Itanium hardware)
Most other components run in 32-bit mode on 64-bit hardware (print drivers
and SSL support do not run with 64-bit applications).
iSeries Navigator
The GUIs that work with output queues and spooled files are expanded to
include ad hoc access to Portable Document Format (PDF) and e-mail
functions. These functions are active when iSeries Navigator detects that
Infoprint Server for iSeries (5722-IP1) is installed. One or more spooled files
can be selected and PDF and e-mail operations interactively invoked.
