Operating System/400, 5769-SS1
490 AS/400e System Handbook
• Shadowing of the AS/400 System Distribution Directory (SDD) entries to the Notes
Name and Address Book residing on the Integrated PC Server provides enhanced
user-profile management.
• Remote PC dial-in access to Notes applications through supported AS/400
communications adapters and connection with an Integrated PC Server-based Notes
server. This is provided with TCP/IP SLIP and appropriate communications hardware
support installed. Using AS/400 remote PC capabilities replaces the need to have
dedicated communication ports on the Integrated PC Server for Notes' users,
therefore, consolidating remote and mobile configurations on the AS/400 system.
• Lotus Domino (Notes Server) 4.5 and Lotus Notes 4.1 are supported on the Integrated
PC Server.
Statement of Direction:
Customers running OS/2 Warp Server for AS/400 and Novell 4.11 on the AS/400
Integrated Netfinity Server is supported with their current capabilities until 31 January
2001. However, these products will not be functionally enhanced. It is also recommended
that customers with Domino on the OS/2 based AS/400 Integrated Netfinity Server plan to
migrate to the Domino for AS/400 product, which provides enhanced scalability, reliability,
and integration. V4R3 is the last release of OS/400 to support Lotus Domino running on
the OS/2 based AS/400 Integrated Netfinity Server. Future releases of OS/400 will not be
capable of running Lotus Domino on the OS/2 based AS/400 Integrated Netfinity Server.
Application Development
Application development features and functions include:
• AS/400 Control Language
The Control Language (CL) provides a consistent single interface to all system functions.
Most commands can be executed both interactively and in a compiled CL program. CL
programs provide a high degree of function in that they allow the use of variables, error
handling, and access to the database.
• Runtime support is provided for languages such as ILE RPG/400, ILE COBOL/400,
ILE C for OS/400, AS/400 PL/1, AS/400 Pascal, and AS/400 Basic.
• Pthread APIs allow IBM Business Partners or AS/400 application developers to take
advantage of new system support for kernel threads. With APIs based on
industry-standard POSIX APIs, the task of creating or porting applications becomes
faster and more cost effective. Even more, the Pthread APIs significantly increase the
ability to write large server or high performance parallel applications.
• Procedures Language 400/REXX is implemented within OS/400. REXX is designed to
facilitate the writing of clear, structured, and interpreted procedures.
