Favorites
These programs are so useful that if you have the slightest
interest you should definitely give them a try.
The details for these programs are listed
in their individual sections.
Application components
- Automated API -- application programming interface to
bulletin boards, files, mail, news and just about anything
accessible on a VM userid.
Feature rich with scripting and extensive logging.
Great for automating sessions or tasks, particularly for transfering
data between PCs and VM.
See related PC software
for automating dial sessions and PC front ends.
- All-purpose server -- full function hot reader, and so much
more, accepting requests from MSG and SMSG as well as reader files.
Create automated application servers in days instead of months.
Build your own requests or use the built in ones.
Manage files on CMS mini-disks with individual
file ownership by userid or group.
Filtering of reader files by just about every characteristic such as
sender userid and file size as well as the contents of the file.
Turn VM into a hub for your disparate systems and route data to and
from MVS, DEC, AS/400s, Lotus Notes and whatever else you have.
Automated maintenance, self-monitoring and
error recovery from sub-processes
keep server running year round with no manual intervention.
- Standard sign on profile -- sign on and sign off code
to set up and break down users' sessions.
Control files allow support complete control of every user by
individual or group.
Great for maintenance, application set up, error handling and
statistics gathering.

have system to migrate changes to production.
This is the companion software to the document
"How to Set Up a Simple, Cost Effective, Test Environment".
See the information about
that document for more details.
Groupware
- Bulletin board -- complete, extensive,
do-everything system with features galore.
Initially developed prior to the explosion of the World Wide Web,
this system implemented many of the same ideas in different form.
Menus are simple text pages with links to other menus, documents
and programs.
Text documents contain simple embedded formatting.
Great for sharing information on VM in one to many, many to one
and many to many communications.
Features include bulletin board categories, multi-level menus,
fast paths, indicators for new items, shadowing to other systems,
multiple mini-disks, authorization by userid or group and much more.
- News -- absolutely the best way
we know to keep departments informed of important, frequently
changing information.
This is great for departments, divisions or projects where a group
of people need to stay informed of what is happening.
This is much better than Office Vision distribution lists.
News has all the features you need including:
expiration dates, search, shadow, TABLE CLASS=TABLEBG1 of contents,
update, and view new items.
- Notice -- nice way to display a notice to
users.
Only displays if they have not already seen it.
Particularly useful during sign on or when entering an application area.
Office Vision enhancements
- Meeting room scheduler -- if you are using
the Office Vision conference room scheduling facility,
look into this software.
This is a plug-in to Office Vision replacing the staff person
that manually reserves rooms.
In addition to some nice features,
this can save you $500 to $2,000 per year per
conference room in staff time.
