  • iSeries Disk Arm Requirements

    As higher capacity disk devices (disk units, or Direct Access Storage Devices, or DASDs, or arms, or drives) for the iSeries" and AS/400" systems become available, fewer arms are needed to satisfy the capacity requirements. This can lead to configuring too few disk arms to meet the workload placed on them. A lack of disk arms can bottleneck the processor's performance. To avoid such a bottleneck, a certain number of disk arms is needed for optimum performance on each processor level. This number is independent of the quantity of drives needed to meet the desired storage capacity. Technical paper.

  • zSeries and S/390 Cryptography

    As the Internet becomes the basis for electronic commerce and as more businesses automate their data-processing operations, the potential for unauthorized disclosure of sensitive data increases. Online databases are becoming increasingly large and complex. Sensitive data is transmitted on communication lines: and often stored off-line. As a result, the efficient, economical protection of enterprise-critical information has become increasingly important in many diverse application environments. Landing page.

  • Standardize messages with the Common Base Event model

    For an analysis tool to understand an application's messages, those messages have to be in an expected form, using expected terminology. An open standard that fits this requirement is the Common Base Event model. The Common Base Event model provides a basis for sounder problem determination and is a cornerstone of automatic computing system management, which is also known as autonomic computing. Furthermore, Common Base Events are XML messages targeted for use in a Web services environment. This opens the possibilities for autonomic management across products, even those from different vendors. (Note: Updated for Release 2 of the IBM Autonomic Computing Toolkit). Article.

  • Must I install WebSphere Application Server Network Deployment before Lotus Workplace Messaging?

    While some customers may report success running IBM Lotus Workplace Messaging without also having installed IBM Websphere Application Server ND Edition, this is not a supported configuration. Additionally, it is not recommended that you add Websphere Application Server ND Edition on top of a running IBM Lotus Workplace Messaging installation as this may require significant re-configuration. For best results, it is recommended that Websphere Application Server ND Edition be installed and configured before installing IBM Lotus Workplace Messaging. Support document.

    You follow the steps in the IBM WebSphere V4.0 Advanced Edition Security Redbook to enable single sign-on between WebSphere Application Server 4.0.3 and Domino 5.0.10 on Windows 2000 Advanced servers. When you switch between a Domino resource (*.NSF) and a WebSphere resource (servlet/snoop), however, you are prompted to authenticate again. You set the Web browser's cookies option to "prompt" so you can see that the LTPA token is being exchanged. Still, you are prompted to re-authenticate. Support document.

  • Some CGI Variables do not work with DSAPI filter, Domino, and WebSphere Application Server

  • WebSphere Application Server plug-in can hang when Domino encounters HTTP Error 500

    You use Domino as your Web server with the WebSphere Application Server (WAS) DSAPI plug-in. When an "HTTP Error 500 (Internal Server Error)" occurs on the Domino server, the error status is not returned properly to the WebSphere Application Server plug-in. Because each error can cause one WAS active thread to be in waiting, eventually all WAS active threads could be virtually in waiting. Therefore, WebSphere Application Server appears unresponsive or hangs. Support document.

  • WebSphere Application Server for z/OS V5 - Planning for Test, Production and Maintenance

    >Whenever multiple WebSphere Application Server for z/OS environments are present, the need to isolate them from one another is also present. This is particularly true when the WebSphere Test environment needs to be completely isolated from the WebSphere Production environment. One activity that brings this issue to the forefront is maintenance. Here the desire is to isolate one WebSphere cell from another, and even isolate nodes within a cell from one another. The latter is necessary when "non-disruptive rolling maintenance" is the objective. Technical paper.

  • Digital Certificate Manager

    A digital certificate is an electronic credential that you can use to establish proof of identity in an electronic transaction. There are an increasing number of uses for digital certificates to provide enhanced network security measures. For example, digital certificates are essential to configuring and using the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL). Using SSL allows you to create secure connections between users and server applications across an untrusted network, such as the Internet. SSL provides one of the best solutions for protecting the privacy of sensitive data, such as user names and passwords, over the Internet. Many services and applications, such as FTP, Telnet, HTTP Server for iSeries", and many others, provide SSL support to ensure data privacy. Concept.

  • Tune server performance

    The primary aim of performance tuning is to allow your servers to make the best use of the system resources, and to allow workloads to run as efficiently as possible. Performance tuning is a way to adjust the performance of the system either manually or automatically. Many options exist for tuning your system. Each system environment is unique in that it requires you to observe performance and make adjustments that are best for your environment; in other words, you are required to do routine performance monitoring.

    One of the most common questions posted on our Multithreaded Java programming discussion forum is some version of "How do I create a thread pool?" In nearly every server application, the question of thread pools and work queues comes up. In this article, Brian Goetz explores the motivations for thread pools, some basic implementation and tuning techniques, and some common hazards to avoid. Article.

  • Updating LDAP binding information

    A common problem customers face today is that changing binding Domain Name (DN) passwords in an Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) server requires that WebSphere Application Server must first be stopped and then restarted. For security reasons, many customers periodically require password changes, which in turn changes WebSphere Application Server's LDAP registry binding information. However, customers do not want to interrupt services due to a password change, and have requested that WebSphere Application Server resolve the downtime issue caused by doing so. Task.
