[문서] OS/2 Warp Server Functional Enhancements, Part 1

This ITSO redbook assists those individuals who need information on IBM¢s

latest enhancements for OS/2 Warp Server, including Software Choice,

Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP) dial support, Network Neighborhood

enablement, enhanced disk checking, and improvements in TCP/IP.

We provide a brief overview of OS/2 Warp Server functions and features,

including client support and licensing. Through examples, we describe

Software Choice, IBM¢s new Web-based software-delivery offering that

allows companies to download new components from any browser and

implement them more quickly than traditional shrink-wrap software.

Integration with NetFinity, NetView Distribution Manager and Tivoli Software

Distribution is addressed.

We explore the architecture and implementation of Enhanced Remote

Access for OS/2 Warp Server, which adds support for any PPP client,

including the IBM 8235 DIALs clients, Windows 95 and NT, and Shiva.

The Network Neighborhood Browser Enabler allows Windows 95 and

Window NT clients to find OS/2 Warp Server resources through their

Network Neighborhood icon. We describe the browser architecture and

added functionality.

The function of the new 32-bit CHKDSK program, a critical component of any

OS/2 server, is explained in detail, including a comparison of file systems

such as FAT, HPFS and HPFS386.

We describe the basic configuration and usage of the minor enhancements

in the TCP/IP stack, such as variable subnet masking and aliasing, that are

available for OS/2 Warp Server.

Microsoft Office 97 and Lotus SmartSuite 97 are very popular application

suites. We describe the installation steps of these suites for the

administrator of Windows 95 and NT clients.
