(R) Registered trademark of International Business Machines Corporation. BUSINESS SOLUTIONS Performance tuning in AIX PS/2 Operating System Version 1.3 offers increased throughput for input/output (I/O) in raw and block modes, in addition to kernel performance enhancements and smaller size requirements available through the availability of serviceable shared libraries usage in applications written to utilize them. Enhancements made to the pager and swapper areas of memory management result in performance increases. Improvements in the windowing and GUI areas are highlighted with the introduction of the X Windowing System V11 R5 from MIT available in AIX PS/2 X-Windows Version 1.3 and AIXwindows (R) Environment for PS/2 Version 1.3 and OSF's Motif 1.1.3 available in AIXwindows Environment for PS/2 Version 1.3 along with AIXwindows Desktop. Support for the IBM Xstation 120 and Xstation 130 is provided in the AIX PS/2 Xstation Manager (TM) Version 1.3. XGA-2 provides non-interlaced, high-resolution graphics on supported displays. AIX PS/2 Operating System Version 1.3 provides interoperability with other versions of AIX, UNIX, and other IBM and non-IBM operating systems, through the use of AIX PS/2 Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol Version 1.3 and AIX PS/2 Network File System Version 1.3 over Ethernet or Token Ring. NFS allows remote file system mounting and files can be copied and data shared between systems engaged in these connections. The use of AIX PS/2 X-Windows Version 1.3 or AIXwindows Environment for PS/2 Version 1.3 allows clients to be opened and run on all participating machines. The Korn Shell is offered and supported in AIX PS/2 Operating System Version 1.3 in addition to the C and Bourne Shells already offered. (R) Registered trademark of International Business Machines Corporation. (TM) Trademark of International Business Machines Corporation. SYSTEMS MANAGEMENT AIX PS/2 Operating System Version 1.3 provides a set of six primary tools called EZ_UTILITIES, used to assist in the system management and distribution of AIX PS/2 Operating System Version 1.3. An enhanced installation procedure decreases the time spent installing and reduces the possibility of installation error. The following utilities are provided: o Ezbackup o Ezcustom o Ezinstall o Ezmkverify and ezverify o Ezfilter o Ezupdate. Ezbackup, ezcustom, ezinstall, and ezmkverify/ezverify are used when building distribution media (boot diskette, installation diskette and backup media) perform routine system and/or user data backups and produce new distribution media when a system configuration change is made. Ezfilter and ezupdate are used to update existing AIX configurations. The EZ_UTILITIES package is designed to aid in the propagation of a master system to a target machine. The use of these utilities assumes that the master system is fully installed and configured, then cloned or minimally tailored. The purpose of the EZ_UTILITIES is to make this cloning process easier. In addition, the EZ_UTILITIES package is designed as an aid in updating target machines as new versions/PTFs of AIX are made available. Special utilities are provided to allow individual elements of PTFs to be selected and repackaged into customized media, which is then used when updating target machines. The EZ_UTILITIES support both the ITBU and 6157 family of tape devices INVESTMENT PROTECTION AIX PS/2 Operating System Version 1.3 offers binary compatibility in applications from AIX PS/2 Operating System Version 1.2.1 and AIX PS/2 Operating System Version 1.2. POSIX IEEE 1003.1-1988 conformance may require applications from AIX PS/2 Operating System Version 1.1 to be recompiled or modified. The following AIX PS/2 Operating System Version 1.1.1 programs will execute on AIX PS/2 Operating System Version 1.3: o AIX PS/2 VS C Language Version 1.1.1 o AIX PS/2 VS FORTRAN Version 1.1.1 o AIX PS/2 VS Pascal Version 1.1.1 o AIX PS/2 Workstation Host Interface Program Version 1.1.1 o AIX PS/2 Extended C Language Version 1.2.1. NOTE: Transparent Computing Facility (TCF) is not supported in AIX PS/2 Operating System Version 1.3. OPEN ENTERPRISE: AIX PS/2 Operating System Version 1.3 provides full POSIX IEEE 1003.1-1988 standard compliance as specified in Section 2.1.2.2 of the IEEE standard and NIST PCTS 151-1 (FIPS 151-1 POSIX Conformance Test Suite) compliance. ANSI X3J11/88-152, Programming Language C compliance is provided through the use of AIX PS/2 Extended C Language Version 1.2.1. PRODUCT POSITIONING AIX PS/2 Operating System Version 1.3 offers an entry level UNIX product targeted for the price-performance conscious Intel processor based system market. The enhanced functions and quality improvements make AIX PS/2 Operating System Version 1.3 very competitive in the UNIX-on-Intel market. STATEMENT OF GENERAL DIRECTION AIX PS/2 Extended C Language will be upleveled to Version 1.3. Details of the product content, support, pricing and availability will be provided at the announcement of the compiler.INFORMATION (Pubs, Education, Availability Date)
