these e-business applications. The administrative client can be installed in the following
environments:
• Windows NT
• Windows 2000
• Sun Solaris
• AIX
Enhanced protocol and API support is integral to dynamic content access, generation, and
presentation within the applications being deployed. Integration of an enhanced Java-based
Object Request Broker (ORB) within the EJB server allows for enhanced Internet Inter-ORB
Protocol (IIOP) support and true Remote Method Invocation (RMI) over IIOP support.
Security controls and application access protection are significantly enhanced with this new
version of WebSphere. The secure access control lists can be established at a more granular
level than in the past.
Security can be set up at the user and group levels and establish control and policies for
specific calls or methods within the applications. This provides greater depth of control and
protection within the server deployment environments. WebSphere Application Server
V3.0.2, Advanced Edition for AS/400, now has first-class support for Lightweight Directory
Access Protocol (LDAP)-based user registries to leverage existing directories.
A completely new and exciting package of site usage and analysis tools are included with
WebSphere Application Server Advanced Edition. Site analysis focuses on developing basic
traffic measurement functions, while allowing the user to gauge traffic volume (hits, visits),
identify traffic sources (domains, subdomains, referrers), and manage site integrity (link
verification, site conformance). These are the key features enabling the user to enhance and
improve the Web site content and performance, making Web sites more enticing, informative,
and ultimately beneficial to the "bottom line" of the business.
The new "server" contains the analyzers whose responsibility is to transform the raw data into
valuable information and store it into the provided UDB DB2 database. The client provides
administrative, visualizing, and report-generating functions. From the client, the user can
schedule analysis tasks to run at a specific time or time interval. Progress status is broadcast
to interested clients and displayed as appropriate and necessary. Once the analysis is
completed, users can generate reports or view the data.
The system offers many predefined, ready-to-use reports. The general features include:
• Detailed analysis of Web content integrity, site performance, and usage statistics
• Flexible client/server architecture supporting a team environment
• A database that is scalable and trending with historical data
• Fully-customizing and configuring to suit end-users
• Remote administration and report capabilities from the client
