4 ENTIREX 10.1 WHAT S NEW? New Environments Use Microsoft Visual Studio 2017 now for C Wrapper, DCOM Wrapper New Operating Systems Windows Server 2016 Administration with Command Central (CC) RPC Servers Installation Template-Based Provisioning COBOL Support Provide more ways to support (fix) COBOL arrays as unbounded arrays Compile your COBOL code using z/os 4.2, 5.1 or 6 compilers Reduce CICS RPC Server resource consumption COBOL Converter interface type: Map COBOL-structured byte array to/from IS data with Adapter for Integration Server Zero AS/400 footprint for RPC clients IBM, 400, AS/400, OS/400, Operating System/400, CICS are trademarks or registered trademarks of IBM Internationalization (I18N) Automatic I18N conversion for RPC Usability Simplified preferences menu ( Designer) MessageID for each message Purge all UOWs of a service (etbcmd) Handle server application outage w/o message loss (Postpone UOWs) Allow JSON from IS to 4

5 ENTIREX 10.1 COBOL ARRAYS AS VARIABLE ARRAYS Have more flexibility in your COBOL server Use fixed-length tables in variable manner In addition to COBOL interface length, now use data items with Message length Array length Number of array elements 5

14 ENTIREX 10.1 ADMINISTRATION WITH COMMAND CENTRAL Install / Uninstall your products/items Same product/item infrastructure as with SAG Installer Use Template-based Provisioning to Install Create instances Configure instances Create & Configure RPC Servers Use Command line and/or GUI C,.NET, IMS Connect, Java, IBM MQ, SOAP/XML More RPC Servers planned for future releases 14

15 ENTIREX 10.1 ADMINISTRATION Use Command Central to Create or Delete Brokers on LUW Display or Stop Server instances Display or Stop Services Create and Configure RPC Servers Mind that for Command Central command-line usage, some parameters and output formats have changed! Place your authorization rules directly in the Broker attribute file or in an LDAP repository still - like with previous versions 15

16 ENTIREX 10.1 ADMINISTRATION With Command Central you can administer installations that are versions since 9.9 and that are Installed via SAG Installer This currently excludes remote Brokers on z/os, z/vse and BS/2000 Use one of the following alternatives for the time being ETBINFO and/or ETBCMD System Management Hub version 9.10 Mind that System Management Hub is no longer delivered since
