Replacing Print Management Tools on mainframes with OM Plus on Open Systems

Mainframe Toolset in service since years in HP 3000 reproduced and improved by the OM Plus on UNIX Server

In this case study examines how a company Advanced uses for file and print management tools of the system for years in print HP 3000 was capable of playing and improving their management capabilities of the AIX print their new base through its print spooler More OM system and performance management.

Note: There are several types of tool kits use Print Management platform owners who also work on open platforms. OM Plus can replace virtually any property management package printing when the application is migrated to an open system like UNIX / Linux or Windows Server.

Company - The American firm is a service center providing integrated services for processing steel to provide many steel production ready metal matrices, trainers, producers and manufacturers. The company services a wide variety of industries including agriculture, automotive, equipment, truck or trailer and construction equipment.

The company is based in the Midwestern United States and this is a central and six power centers that service customers in 30 states. The company employs over 600 people.

Business Problem In-migration from a proprietary system of 3000 HP, which had operated for many years, a new application server on AIX, realized that his De queue and print production management toolkits would not be economically migrate to the AIX platform. They had spent many years building print management and process management for production of documents using Spoolmate products as on demand and DataNow and facing the enormous challenge of recreating their process, no re-training of staff, re-creation electronic forms and generally able to make the same kind of thing used to do the printing and production management. They have the same level of advanced tools in the implementation of AIX base used to have on your HP 3000 environment.

Key Technical Challenge - The key technical challenge facing this client was to replicate (and improve as needed) its previous file Wait and functions of production management in the AIX system again, without significant process changes or breaking their budget.

Systems operations are not designed to manage the execution of documents produced through an extensive network of the company. There are problems with reliable delivery and delivery confirmation. When printing and production related issues and problems arise, the documents are not delivered correctly and on time deliveries can be lost, do not send invoices, closed production lines, appropriate forms the mail is not used or patient care may be compromised. Advanced Games tools are often used to achieve this breakthrough printing and output functionality related. In the case of systems such as the HP 3000 (the same is true for AS/400, IBM mainframe, or any other system based on a property of O / S) tools that have been constructed for the system of property often do not migrate to open O / S like UNIX / Linux or Windows Server. This causes the client to make changes to its operations or seek a new solution to provide the same functionality as the usual to love.

The Solution The technical service is provided to that customer based on the OM addition, the print spooler advanced Management and Technology Solution Plus. OM Plus and capabilities of electronic forms of members of the Plus Technologies has been able to reproduce his printing capabilities previous production management. The main functions of an e-mail to "print" a document by e-mail was reproduced and its ability to deliver multiple was repeated. This allows a document to print in several places at once instead of having to perform the work several times (changing the destination of each). OM Plus and accept employment based on information found in the work, citing the case of the routing device to deliver work in different locations around the company, so automatically. OM Plus has also enabled Company to create an email notifying the user know that their print job has been made and where they could pick it up. This feature also allows the system to re-route a print job to a printer automatically and still allow the end user know where to look for work.

A second key to the success of this migration to the OM Plus playing electronic forms of business. With all the challenges faced during the migration, it was decided that any change in their electronic form is very slow and counterproductive. The solution came with the OM Plus enabled the company to use its existing electronic forms without modifying the source files with its new application on the AIX system. This avoided the need to redesign its entire library of electronic forms. Finally, as mentioned above, tools that were developed for proprietary environments (such as HP 3000) facilitated the release print and robust management capabilities for system administrators, end users and support staff at the reception. OM Plus was able to reproduce all the features of old tools and prevent the company from having to change any process or help desk business processes, improving the ROI on the new AIX system.

- Implementation of site services including installation, system configuration, testing and user training was delivered by service engineers Plus Technologies to the client. In this case, execution has been completed and production in the two weeks following the order.

I want a system using an installation wizard and the other with sufficient security for a public server. Finally, it would be great if all this could not be accessed for free commercial use.

There is a good tutorial on qmail on the links below. qmail is very safe and is widely used. Many developers have been given extensions on the application you want, such as WebMail, anti-virus and anti-spam. This should, at least initially. Good luck.
