2 Description Key Prerequisites Platforms on Which MQSeries Everyplace Can Be Directly Installed AIX V4.3 Microsoft Windows 2000 Microsoft Windows NT V4.0 Microsoft Windows 95, Windows 98, and Windows Me Sun Solaris 7 or 8 Linux (on xseries) distributions running Kernel 2.2 (not automatic installation). Java Environment for Running MQSeries Everyplace for Multiplatforms, V1.2 One of: Java runtime (JVM 1.1.8, or later), including Java Micro Edition Microsoft Java Virtual Machine V , or later Any Java which is Sun Java (V1.1, or later)-certified Plus (for MQSeries Everyplace Bridge operation): MQSeries Java client running with JVM 1.2, or later The MQSeries Bridge provides connectivity to other MQSeries products, and is only available on permitted server platforms that support the MQSeries Java client (refer to the Terms and Conditions section for the definition of permitted server platforms). Refer to the Technical Information section for more information on service support. Native Client: Palm Operating System 2 (limited function) 2 Not all hardware that runs this operating system is supported; refer to the Technical Information section. Programming Environment Java Any Java V1.1, or later, programming environment supported by the required level of the Java runtime, such as VisualAge for Java Native Client Code Warrior release 6 containing the IDE for PalmOS and C/C++ compiler (Palm only) Note: Application development is limited to those platforms supported by the application development tools used; however, deployment for prototyping and testing can be on any permitted platform. MQSeries Family e-business is accelerating the pace of change. Speed to market and quality of service are critical for success. Companies need to be agile to survive. The MQSeries family provides a versatile platform for e-business, including: MQSeries is the core of the MQSeries family. The base messaging servers and clients provide once, and once only, message and queuing capability on more than 35 platforms. MQSeries Adapter Offering provides a framework and tools that build and customize MQSeries adapters for existing and new, prepackaged, or custom-developed applications. MQSeries Integrator combines a one-to-many connectivity model, plus transformation, intelligent routing, and information flow modeling. It facilitates the development of new application services that comprise the functions of multiple, disparate existing business systems. MQSeries Workflow is a business process management system that facilitates the rapid development and management of the business processes that integrate the IT and organizational infrastructure of a company. This product, MQSeries Everyplace extends the capabilities of MQSeries base messaging to mobile workers using laptops, PDAs, and telephones. It brings all the benefits of MQSeries messaging, including rock-solid security, to a failure-prone environment. MQSeries Everyplace MQSeries Everyplace is a messaging and queuing product, which builds on the concepts of other MQSeries products, but provides function particularly suited to lightweight devices and wireless connection. These devices require the messaging subsystem to be frugal in its use of system resources. They need to have a reliable, secure connection even when the communications coverage is unreliable. MQSeries Everyplace: Provides an assured messaging infrastructure where small Footprint and optimized communication protocols are required Minimizes the costs of set-up and administration, making it suitable for unmanaged networks Offers tailored function and interfaces appropriate to its customer set, such as synchronous and asynchronous messaging support, local and remote queue access, direct and indirect routing, rock-solid security, and extensive customization capabilities Provides cross-platform compatibility and function extensibility Is suitable for use over public networks and for access through firewalls Includes support for some platforms not supported by MQSeries servers MQSeries and MQSeries Everyplace are complementary offerings within the MQSeries base messaging family. MQSeries has established an impressive customer base and has a wide spectrum of capabilities. MQSeries Everyplace: Extends the capabilities and adds to the value of base messaging solutions Provides functions essential for the growing pervasive environment (such as high security, optimized datastreams for fragile communication, connectivity of a wide range of pervasive devices) MQSeries Everyplace is the ideal way to provide MQSeries base messaging in the communications-hostile world of mobile devices. Features of MQSeries Everyplace Once-only assured delivery, which means that it can be used over fragile communication networks Object-based messages, with function and data Synchronous and asynchronous messaging Direct and indirect routing (with protocol conversion)

3 Message-level, queue-level, and end-to-end security, including authentication, encryption, and compression Local and remote queue access Message push and message pull Small footprint with extensive customization Rules-based operation Tight integration with other MQSeries family members and mobile products Automatic channels and roaming support Minimal administration Efficient and customizable wire protocol Extensive platform support Extensible function with the ability to add new adapters, for communications, or for mapping individual queues to permanent storage (for example, databases) Features New to This Release Extended platform support, including Linux and HP-UX A new high-performance option for batching message writes to disk UDP protocol support to reduce network traffic C bindings to the Java (available after initial shipment) WTLS certificate support Enhanced messaging functions when using the MQSeries Everyplace Bridge Get and Browse operations now supported Support for WebSphere Everyplace Server connectivity with security information in HTTP headers Support for 4690 in Retail Edition A new Postcard application to demonstrate assured delivery and other extended tools (available via SupportPacs) MQSeries Everyplace supports a wide range of platforms from device platforms, such as EPOC, to server platforms, such as AIX. All queue managers optionally support queues and messaging, but additionally most server platforms can be used to give connectivity to other MQSeries servers by using the Bridge (available in conjunction with MQSeries Everyplace Bridge capacity units). A new node for MQSI: Allows connection of MQSeries Everyplace directly (without the use of the MQSeries Everyplace Bridge) Provides input and output protocols compatible with MQSeries Everyplace Allows messages to be: Received from MQSeries Everyplace and processed directly by MQSI. Sent to devices using the Publish/Subscribe facility. This new node will be available with MQSeries Integrator. Devices can be connected together in various configurations. A typical setup would be many devices connected to a single gateway, with that gateway connected to one or more MQSeries systems or other gateways. Although it is convenient to describe machines running MQSeries Everyplace as clients (devices) or servers for the purposes of configuration and installation, the pricing of MQSeries Everyplace for Multiplatforms, V1.2 makes no distinction except by the operating system being used. MQSeries Everyplace supports HTTP, TCP/IP, and UDP as transports. All queue managers support synchronous messaging operations, such as the ability to access queues to get, put, and browse messages. If a queue manager is configured with local queues it will also have asynchronous messaging capability (note that this function is not available on the Native Client). Security: MQSeries Everyplace provides extensive security capabilities. Security embraces authentication, encryption, and compression: Authentication to control access Compression to reduce resource requirements (for transmission and/or storage) Encryption to protect the contents when the object is transmitted In this way, access to message content can be selectively secured and the data can be protected, for example, on backing storage (not available in Native Client.) Encryption methods available include MARS, DES, triple DES, RC4, and RC6. These can offer up to 128-bit security where permitted, and are available in both editions of the product. Benefits of Using MQSeries Everyplace: MQSeries Everyplace extends e-business to mobile users: Business users can process high-value transactions away from their desks because of assured message delivery. Existing systems can be integrated into e-business solutions via the gateway to MQSeries networks and the MQSI. Critical applications work reliably even over unreliable mobile networks using MQSeries Everyplace messages. Users can choose their own personal workstation platform thanks to the wide variety of platforms supported, such as EPOC32, PalmOS, and Windows platforms. Applications can provide immediate server or mainframe interaction when a link is available, and queued use when it is not. This link can be either a wireless link, or a low-cost telephone link. Users can make cost-effective use of radio networks by using the built-in intelligent data compression and link policies. Networks can include small, low-cost devices for remote sensing. Up-to-the-minute information, such as latest stock prices, is provided by automatic transmission from central servers. Transactions can be captured from retail checkouts and sent as required via the 4690 to host systems or the MQSeries Integrator. Assured message delivery and exploitation of the 4690 mirrored file system can provide reliability and security. Programmers can choose simple setup options for security, and communications can easily work through firewalls using HTTP protocol. Messaging systems can be designed with a minimum of set-up and maintenance. Users can keep in touch with each other directly using device-to-device communication over the Internet. Users can connect to a convenient local gateway, and use different devices at different times according to their needs. Mobile workers can receive important schedule updates, or send new data, even when they are working in an environment where radio coverage is intermittent. Field workers can have direct access to back-end systems using a combination of MQSeries Everyplace with other MQSeries products. For example, they can use the Publish/Subscribe function in MQSI to subscribe to important information that can be sent direct to their mobile device

4 MQSeries Everyplace is a member of the IBM Pervasive Computing family, which includes the WebSphere Everyplace Suite. MQSeries and MQSeries Everyplace both have the advantages of: Assured delivery Disconnected operation Cross-platform support MQSeries Everyplace adds further features necessary to allow users to continue to work and access important data while away from their normal working or home environment. Using the latest mobile devices, businesses that reach customers and workers directly in their homes or while they are on the road will have a considerable advantage in the marketplace. With MQSeries Everyplace, the MQSeries family now allows business users to: Extend their operations into the mobile environment Expand their business model opportunities for sales and customer service This product supersedes MQSeries Everyplace for Windows, Version 1.0 announced in Software Announcement , dated April 4, 2000, and MQSeries Everyplace for Multiplatforms, announced in Software Announcement , dated October 3, It is a repackaging of those products, extended to more platforms. Product Positioning IBM Business Integration consists of five offerings under the MQSeries brand designed to complement each other. e-business is accelerating the pace of change. Speed to market and quality of service are critical for success so companies need to be agile to survive. The MQSeries family provides a versatile platform for e-business. MQSeries, the core of the MQSeries family, integrates over 35 platforms. Providing the base messaging functions for servers and clients, and assuring once-only message delivery, it can be used alone or with other members of the family.

Planning Information Definitions Used in this Section Server and client platforms. These are two lists (Group A and Group B) of platforms which are grouped by the size of the computer and operating system they run on, not by any usage configuration or connection. Client and server are used in their general computing sense as in client/server but have no ordering or pricing significance. A third group (Group C) relates to use on the 4690OS platform only. MQSeries Everyplace Gateway is a queue manager configured with the MQSeries Everyplace bridge to connect to other MQSeries products. It is not required to connect to MQSeries Integrator via the MQSeries Everyplace/SCADA node. Distribution of MQSeries Everyplace with Applications: MQSeries Everyplace classes may only be distributed with applications with an agreement from IBM or where all the users already have entitlement to use them. Otherwise users must provide the necessary classes themselves and have their own entitlement to use them. Even where allowed, distribution may only be under the terms of the license agreement supplied with the product. Similarly, for the Palm device, shared libraries may only be distributed with applications with an agreement from IBM or where all the users already have entitlement to use them. Otherwise users must provide the necessary shared libraries themselves, and have the necessary entitlement to use them. Pricing Structure The pricing for MQSeries Everyplace server platforms (Groups A and C) is based upon capacity units, with each processor group or configuration (for 4690OS) requiring a certain number of capacity units. The boxed program package includes two capacity units, but additional capacity units may be required. Different types of capacity units are required, depending on whether the MQSeries Everyplace Bridge, or Retail edition is being used. Server platforms not running the MQSeries Everyplace Bridge. MQSeries Everyplace Network capacity units are required per server depending on the size of the machine running MQSeries Everyplace or (for 4690OS) Retail capacity units depending on the size of the installation

8 Server platforms running the MQSeries Everyplace Bridge. MQSeries Everyplace Bridge capacity units are required per server depending on the size of the machine running MQSeries Everyplace. Bridge capacity units are eligible to be used towards entitlement to use certain other MQSeries products. MQSeries Everyplace Capacity Unit Requirement List This table applies to all three types of MQSeries Everyplace capacity units: Description Required MQSeries Everyplace V1.2 Capacity Units Intel 3 Uniprocessor machines or OS with 1 to 5 point-of-sale connected Intel 2-Way SMP Machines 4 + RISC 1-2 Processors per box/sp node or 4690OS with 6 to 20 point-of-sale connected Intel/RISC 3-8 Processors 8 per box/sp node or 4690OS with point-of-sale connected Intel/RISC 9-23 Processors 16 per box/sp node 4690OS with point-of-sale connected Intel/RISC 24 or more processors per box/sp node or OS with 150+ point-of-sale connected 3 Intel machines include compatible processors such as Cyrix and AMD, but not 4690 processors. Only the Retail Edition may be used with the IBM 4690OS. Requirements shown are per store with one machine running 4690OS using MQSeries Everyplace. Pricing for several machines running 4690OS in the same store may be calculated by using the average POS per machine running the 4690OS, or refer to IBM for pricing of these installations. Additional capacity unit requirements for use on second 4690OS machines on warm standby are 50% of those for machines in production use. Warm standby means that a machine is up and running, but not sending or receiving MQSeries Everyplace messages, or using queues. For further pricing and licensing information, visit: Capacity units specific to MQSeries Everyplace are new to this release. MQSeries Everyplace Bridge (but not Network or Retail) capacity units are transferable across MQSeries platforms that appear in the same MQSeries Transfer Group (refer to table below). This product is in transfer group C, whereas previous versions were in transfer group B. These transfer groups do not relate to MQSeries Everyplace platform price groups. One MQSeries Everyplace Bridge capacity unit is equivalent to one MQSeries capacity unit.

The license and LI will be stored in a directory such as LICENSE.TXT for future reference

10 Security, Auditability, and Control The customer is responsible for evaluation, selection, and implementation of security features, administrative procedures, and appropriate controls in application systems and communication facilities. Ordering Information Program package and charge features for device platform usage are available in one packs only. Use of MQSeries Everyplace for development and prototyping is not chargeable, but non-development (productive) use of MQSeries Everyplace on any platform is chargeable. The price depends on three factors; the platform used, the size of the machine, and whether the MQSeries Everyplace Bridge is being used. Three combinations are valid: 1. Device platforms. An MQSeries Everyplace device platform use authorization is required to use MQSeries Everyplace on each device. 2. Server platforms not running the MQSeries Everyplace Bridge. MQSeries Everyplace Network capacity units are required per server depending on the size of the machine running MQSeries Everyplace The MQSeries Everyplace Network Edition comes with two of these capacity units in the box. Refer to note below regarding use on systems running IBM 4690OS. 3. Server platforms running the MQSeries Everyplace Bridge. MQSeries Everyplace capacity units are required per server depending on the size of the machine running MQSeries Everyplace Upgrades are available from MQSeries Everyplace Network capacity units. Note: For IBM 4690OS, the Retail edition is used instead of the Network edition, and Retail Capacity units instead of Network capacity units. Price is based on the configuration in the store, not machine size. Refer to the Planning Information section. Third-party applications which contain MQSeries Everyplace classes may be used without additional proof of entitlement (capacity units or device platform use authorization) if the supplier of the application has agreed this with IBM. MQSeries Everyplace classes (or Palm libraries) may not be included in applications except by prior arrangement with IBM, or where the use of these classes is to expedite distribution within the same enterprise, and use is already covered by use authorizations or capacity units. There is no charge for use of MQSeries Everyplace for Multiplatforms, V1.2 on any allowed platform provided that it is used solely for application development and testing. Note that MQSeries Everyplace deployment on server platforms is priced by MQSeries Everyplace capacity units. These capacity units are not the same as other MQSeries family capacity units, but may be interchanged (in the case of Bridge capacity units) via the transfer group table.
