IBM z/VSE V5.1 - Additional enhancements |
In addition to function delivered at general availability of IBM z/VSE V5.1, you get supplemental enhancements:
- Support for IBM CICS Explorer - "The new face of CICS Transaction Server for VSE/ESA V1.1"
CICS Explorer V1.1 capabilities can now be used with CICS TS. The CICS Explorer is the new systems management framework for CICS TS. It provides read-only capabilities to display CICS resources. Please see the the CICS web page for additional information and updates.
- The Fast Path to Linux on System z function (Linux Fast Path) in a logical partition (LPAR) environment
Linux Fast Path was introduced with z/VSE V4.3 for use in a z/VM guest environment. Now LPAR support is added, which is intended to extend the connectivity options for z/VSE clients. Linux Fast Path in an LPAR environment requires IBM zEnterprise technology with the HiperSockets Completion Queue function.
- 64-bit Input/Output (I/O) processing for applications
64-bit virtual addressing for applications was introduced at general availability of z/VSE V5.1. z/VSE V5.1 enhancements add 64-bit I/O processing for applications. With 64-bit I/O processing, clients have the flexibility to also use 64-bit virtual storage for I/O buffers and thus benefit from increased processor storage available with the latest IBM System z servers.
- A z/VSE database connector
This z/VSE database connector is designed to allow z/VSE applications to access a relational database on any suitable database server. It gives z/VSE clients more flexibility in selecting a database server that runs on a platform other than z/VSE. z/VSE applications can now utilize advanced database functions and use SQL statements provided by modern database products.
- IPv6/VSE V1.1 enhancements
IPv6/VSE now supports Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) for secure transmission of data to and from remote host systems. Protocols that are supported are HTTPS (HTTP over SSL), FTPS (FTP over SSL), SMTPS (SMTP over SSL), and TN3270E over SSL.
Planned availability is June 15, 2012. 64-bit I/O and IPv6/VSE enhancements PTFs will be made available at a later date.
These supplemental enhancements fulfill earlier statements of direction in Software Announcement 211-118 dated April 12, 2011, and Software Announcement 211-466, dated October 12, 2011.&
