Question:
I have a client who is currently moving from a 4381 to a RISC/6000
380. He develops his applications in the mainframe using the following:
Programming Languages used::
OS/VS Cobol 1 r 2.4
Assembler H v 2.1.0
SQL - DB2
2. Transaction monitor:
CICS v 2.1.2 using BMS FULL
3. Screen Formatter
SDF v 1.5.0
BMS (CICS v 2.1.2)
4. Data Bank:
- DB2 v 2.3.0
- VSAM, MVS/XA DFP v 3.1.1 and DFDSS v 2.5.0
5. Editors:
TSO/E v 2.1.0
CMS XA v 5.6
6.Mainframe disks
3380 - j
3380 - k
9345
There will be 16 ascii terminals attached to the RS6K and no PCS. There
will be no access to the mainframe, either.
I need detailed information on what products (and product numbers) I
should use to properly configured the required software.
Thanks.
---------- ---------- ---------- --------- ---------- ----------
A: I will address each issue presented:
AIX Operating System, Version 3.2.4 or later is Product Code 5756-30.
Currently, Micro Focus COBOL Version 3 or later is required for COBOL
support with DB2/6000. The Product Code for Micro Focus COBOL is
5758-MG0. Also, there is the Micro Focus COBOL with Toolbox, Version 3,
Product Code 5758-MG1.
Your client will need DB2/6000 on the RS/6000 to replaced the SQL - DB2
on the 4381. The Product Code is 5765-172.
You will need CICS/6000 for the transaction monitor, Product Code 5765-
148.
The BMS (CICS Version 2.1.2) can be imported into CICS/6000. To the
extent that basic COBOL, CICS and BMS functions were used, the recompile
should take place quite easily.
CICS/6000 uses DFS, Encina/6000 and DCE/6000 which is a version of VSAM.
The Product Code for the CICS/6000 Application Server is 5765-148. The
DCE and Encina Base Services/6000 V 1.2is Product Code is 5765-117.
The Encina Server/6000 Product Code is 5765-240.
The editor on the RS/6000 is vi. It is part of the AIX Operating System.
There is no Product Code or Feature Number.
You should use the 128-Port Asynchronous Adapter (Feature Code 8128) for
connecting the 16 ASCII terminals to the RS/6000.
You should be able to accomplish the transition from the 4381 to the
RS/6000 by using the products listed.
Thank you.

I tried to configure this software and encountered millions of
doubts:
When I choose , for instance, product number 5765-117, millions of
titles come up: DCE only, DCE and ENCINA, DEC something, etc...
Can you be more precise?
Thank you.
---------- ---------- ---------- --------- ---------- ----------
A: All of the information should be precise enough except for the
DCE and Encina information. The following comes from the product
literature on these products:
DCE, Distributes Computing Environment is based upon OSF DCE Version
1.0.2. A minimum DCE cell requires the installation of:
- one DCE cell directory server.
- one DCE security server.
- some number of DCE clients (workstations with the
DCE Bases Services installed). DCE Base Services
must also be installed on every server.
- DCE uses TCP/IP communications protocol over
Ethernet, Token-Ring, X.25 or FDDI communications
media.
The product codes are as follows:
AIX DCE Base Services/6000 5765-117
AIX DCE Cell Directory Server/6000, V1.2 5765-119
AIX DCE Security Server/6000, V1.2 5765-118
AIX DCE Distributed File System (DFS) 5765-121
The Encina products family includes the following:
Encinia Server 5696-240
Encina Structured File Server 5696-237
Encina Monitor 5696-239
Encina Peer-to-Peer Executive 5696-238
Encina Peer-to-Peer Gateway 5696-347
Encina PPC Executive with SyncPoint
Level 2 Support for AIX 5696-931
Encina PPC Gateway with SyncPoint
Level 2 Support for AIX 5696-930
The programming requirements for Encina are:
- AIX/6000 Version 3.2.4 or later (5756-030) required.
- The Encina Base and DCE Base feature of AIX DCE Base.
Services/6000 Version 1.2 (5765-117) must be installed
on every workstation in the cell.
- The following programs are required somewhere in the
cell:
- AIX DCE Cell Directory Server/6000, Version
1.2 (5765-119).
- AIX DCE Security Server/6000, Version 1.2
(5765-118).
- At least one instance of Encina Server for AIX/6000
Version 1.1.2 (5696-240) must be installed in the
cell.
All of these products are discussed in the Announcement Letter: A94-92
(Encina Products Family).
Thank you.
