“Delivering what the competition can only promise.”
TCP/IP for VSETCP/IP for VSE provides a complete solution for connecting the mainframe to today's Internet world.
Our TCP/IP stack provides a seamless interface with the Internet, allowing z/VSE mainframe •applications to participate fully in the global business arena
Built-in tools make z/VSE functions and facilities immediately available to network-attached users •
Optional and third-party products bring the full power and reliability of mainframe computing to •the e-Commerce world
Standard stack features•
Runs on VSE/ESA 1.4 through the latest z/VSE versions 9Supports network connections via OSA, OSA-Express, CTCA, CLAW, and equivalent hardware 9Extensive monitoring and tuning capabilities that can be extended to any level of granularity, 9including specific destination addressesCustomizable security features protect both network access and configuration information 9Built-in connection management provides request queuing and automatic detection and clean-up of 9“lost” connectionsA complete set of servers, including TN3270, FTP, and LPD 9Client software such as FTP, LPR, Email, and Telnet 9Additional support software, such as PDF creation 9
Additional optional features distributed with TCP/IP for VSE:•
GPS—General Print Server 9NFS–Network File System 9SSL—Secure Sockets Layer 9SecureFTP—SSL-enabled FTP server and client 9See-TCP/IP—Performance monitor for z/VSE and TCP/IP 9
Complement TCP/IP for VSE with these add-on products:•
Entrée—Web-based transaction server 9HFS—Hierarchical File System 9
TCP/IP for VSEStandard features of TCP/IP for VSE to consider implementing:•
FTP—File Transfer Protocol 9Easy, direct access to VSAM, BIM-Edit, LIBR, Power, ICCF, and other VSE resident files �VSAM KSDS files can be retrieved completely or by key range �FTPBATCH for quick, easy, efficient batch FTP transfers �Automatically send Power files directly to end users �Convert text files to PDF format for easy viewing �Allow users on Windows to retrieve or store files directly on z/VSE �Use a PC/Unix-like Hierarchical File System (HFS) on your z/VSE system �Securely transfer confidential files with the SecureFTP feature �
Telnet TN3270 server 9Allow users to log directly onto 3270 VTAM applications such as CICS �End users use a TN3270 PC client to directly access the z/VSE system �LPR client for printing directly to printers on remote hosts �Automatic printing of Power LST queue entries to remote printers �Send your data as normal print text or as a PDF to an LPR server �
Email 9Batch client to email most z/VSE-resident files directly to remote users �PDF generation of text and embedded graphics is also available �
Web 9Provide static z/VSE data to the browser or write your own CGI (Web) programs �
Easy configuration with standard z/VSE library members 9Ping, Traceroute, Discover, and other powerful tools are part of the product so that a site can analyze 9its TCP/IP network from z/VSEAdvanced diagnostics for detailed problem analysis 9User-defined security processing to limit access or functions to a remote user or group of users 9Control message output, and if you have BIM-FAQS, inspect TCP/IP activities and automate 9z/VSE processing (for example, submit a job when an FTP has completed)
Create your own TCP/IP applications with the provided Application Programming Interfaces •(APIs):
SOCKET MACRO interface for Assembler programs 9BSD/C interface useable from C, Cobol, Assembler, or any other language that supports standard 9linkageEZASOCKET calls by all languages are also supported for easier portability 9High-Level Preprocessor Interface for Cobol, PL1, or Assembler 9Cryptographic interfaces for using SSL/TLS with strong encryption algorithms like AES, Triple- 9DES, RSA, or SHA1, MD5, etc.Socket interface for REXX programs 9Many examples are available to speed up program development 9
