This study investigates tandem queues with two service nodes. The consumer needs to obtain services at the following two nodes in this system: the IBM online sphere for artificial intelligence (AI) and the complex RDX mechanism. Before the second essential service (SES), by utilizing AI to validate the data in IBM WebSphere and insight, the first essential service (FES) begins with the RDX mechanism. If there are fewer customers than “a” after a service at node 1 is finished, the server departs for a subsequent assignment. As soon as the vacation value reached the threshold, the service began. After the service concludes at node 1, it moves on to node 2. In this study, the supplemental variable technique is used to determine the probability-generating function (PGF) at any given time. A numerical solution also yields certain features of the queueing system.

This IBM Redbooks publication gives a broad understanding of the IBM Tivoli Business Systems Manager architecture and internals. The in-depth discussion covers the product’s inner workings and includes log files to illustrate the processing of its various components.IBM Tivoli Business Systems Manager is designed to display all aspects of the enterprise’s IT system as they affect the users’ business systems. This book enables easy implementation of IBM Tivoli Business Systems Manager in distributed environments. Procedures are illustrated with examples of the installation and configuration process to explain the deployment of IBM Tivoli Business Systems Manager into a customer’s environment.This book also covers the implementation of IBM Tivoli Business Systems Manager in z/OS with most of its major interfaces. IBM Tivoli Business Systems Manager can monitor all major IBM subsystems in z/OS, including IMS, DB2, CICS, storage, and Web solutions.A book about concepts and implementation would not be complete without a comprehensive discussion about using, maintaining, and troubleshooting the system. We devote several sections to these topics.Please note that the additional material referenced in the text is not available from IBM.

This IBM Redbooks publication provides an introduction to the Enterprise Workload Manager (EWLM). In addition to describing the overall product concept and functionality, it presents a detailed discussion of the elements that are part of the solution. Step-by-step instructions take you through the installation of EWLM code on multiple platforms, for both the domain manager and managed servers, and also show how to enable the instrumentation of the middleware for a 3-tier Web application. The features for administering EWLM are described, along with the monitoring and reporting capabilities. A sample scenario implemented in the ITSO environment is used to guide you through the process of classifying workload, and defining and deploying your own EWLM policy. This scenario is then used to demonstrate techniques for securing your implementation. The load balancing capabilities of EWLM are described. Troubleshooting hints and tips are provided, along with some basic performance considerations to help you design the optimum EWLM solution.

This IBM Redbooks publication is part of a series of four volumes that are related to WebSphere Everyplace Access Version 5.0. You can use this series to plan, install, administer, and develop mobile applications to run in a WebSphere Everyplace Access Version 5.0 environment. The information that this series provides targets business-to-employee enterprise applications. However, most of the scenarios presented apply to business-to-consumer applications as well.This book provides step-by-step sample scenarios that describe how to implement Intelligent Notification Services to notify Lotus Sametime, SMTP e-mail, and other channel deliveries. It also includes scenarios that illustrate the Location Aware Services function which provides access to location-based services from multiple vendors using available APIs. It also includes a chapter that discusses how to cluster WebSphere Everyplace Access nodes as well as how to integrate your server with IBM WebSphere Connection Manager to implement single sign-on.This book is targeted to application developers, IT architects, IT specialists, and administrators who want to install, administer, and develop enterprise applications to run on IBM WebSphere Everyplace Access.Please note that the additional material referenced in the text is not available from IBM.

This IBM Redbooks publication discusses DB2 UDB for Linux on iSeries. We provide the installation and configuration steps for DB2 UDB for Linux on iSeries. We also present connectivity scenarios between OS/400 resources and Linux resources.With V8.1, DB2 UDB for Linux is available for running in a Linux partition on an IBM eServer iSeries system.Linux is one of the fastest growing operating systems in the industry today. Linux is quickly becoming a key enabler for e-business applications that are demanding more robust local database capabilities.Applications running in the Linux partition can certainly leverage DB2 UDB for iSeries through a variety of interfaces (DB2 Connect, JDBC, ODBC), and this is an excellent choice to leverage the low administration overhead, autonomic computing, and security benefits provided by DB2’s tight integration with OS/400. DB2 for Linux is an excellent choice to support Linux (or other client/server) applications when there is a need to have local data storage within the Linux application environment or to leverage specific features of DB2 UDB V8 such as Federated Database or Microsoft .NET Framework support.

The WebSphere Voice Server product is a member of the IBM WebSphere software family. It provides a platform that enables the creation of voice applications through industry standards such as VoiceXML and Java. The WebSphere Voice Server facilitates the deployment of voice applications by interfacing with voice standards such as Cisco VoIP, IBM DirectTalk, and Dialogic platforms. It further aids the development of these applications by providing development tools.This IBM Redbooks publication discusses the functionality of WebSphere Voice Server in the context of real business environments. We introduce the voice environment and the WebSphere Voice Server. We cover in great detail the various operating platforms supported by WebSphere Voice Server (Dialogic, Cisco, and DirectTalk - also referred to as WebSphere Voice Response). The product has been further enhanced to function on both Intel and AIX systems. The book goes into some depth about this new functionality.Additionally, we discuss both the Software Developers Kit (SDK) and the Voice Toolkit that are available for the development of voice applications. A step-by-step approach was taken to walk through the development of a VoiceXML application utilizing both of these tools, and taking advantage of the new functions provided within them.

This IBM Redbooks publication will help you install, tailor, and configure the PTF2 level of WebSphere Portal Server for z/OS product. We discuss architectural, installation, configuration, administration, security and problem determination issues. We show you how to deploy portlets and how to convert a \"normal\" WebSphere application into a portlet. Some of the key features of the IBM WebSphere Portal offering are that it delivers a single, universal point of access that is integrated, highly customizable and scalable to interact with key applications, content, people, and business processes. Also, it offers numerous portlets for e-mail, calendars, syndicated news, industry applications and many other functions. The WebSphere Portal for Multiplatforms includes three editions: Portal Enable, Portal Extend, and Portal Experience.This book covers the WebSphere Portal for z/OS and OS/390 product, which is based on the WebSphere Portal V4.1 Enable edition.Please note that the additional material referenced in the text is not available from IBM.
