Sion 4 Release 3, 5769-Dc1 - IBM AS/400e User Handbook Manual

The RJE portion of the Communications Utilities for AS/400 allows the AS/400 system to
function as an RJE workstation for the submission of jobs or receipt of output from a host IBM
308x, 3090, 937x, or 43xx using BSC, SNA over SDLC lines, over an X.25 network, or over
IBM Token-Ring Network. The SDLC and X.25 lines can connect through an X.21 interface.
RJE supports communication with host systems running MVS/SP JES2, MVS/SP JES3, VM
RSCS Networking, and VSE/AF POWER.
IBM Distributed Computing Environment (DCE) Base Services for AS/400
Version 4 Release 3, 5769-DC1
Distributed Computing Environment (DCE) Base Services for OS/400 increases distributed
computing in the open systems environment for the AS/400 system. It includes these basic
DCE services:
• Remote Procedure Call
• Cell Directory Client function
• Security Client function
• Time Services
DCE is an integrated set of distributed computing technologies provided by the Open
Software Foundation (OSF) Specification Version 1.2.2. The components of DCE form a layer
that lies between the operating system and network and the distributed application. DCE
enables application programmers to implement an open distributed computing environment,
to allow interoperability among distributed applications within a network of multi-vendor
systems.
Support of these functions on the AS/400 system enables OS/400 to participate in a
heterogeneous distributed environment by interoperating with other systems that also
support the OSF/DCE standard. OSF/DCE has its origins in UNIX. It is enhanced by the DCE
Base Services for OS/400 product to provide the familiar look and feel of the AS/400 system
with support for AS/400 messages, menus, prompts, and help text. AS/400 customers can
comfortably proceed along a familiar path that leads ultimately into the world of open
systems.
IBM Distributed Computing Environment (DCE) DES Library Routine V4R3,
5769-DC3
The DCE DES Library Routine provides data encryption support for the Distributed
Computing Environment (DCE) Base Services on the AS/400 system. If secure
communications are required when using DCE services on the AS/400 system, this product
must be installed on the system.
