<div><p>Find a summary of the new administration functions for this release.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>With the installation of V5R4 iSeries™ Access for Windows<sup>®</sup>,
|
||
|
|
you can manage your environment through new functions that have been added
|
||
|
|
to the database providers and other product enhancements.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>New features for the iSeries Access for Windows administrator include:</p>
|
||
|
|
<ul><li><strong>Data Transfer features</strong> <p>V5R4 Data Transfer now includes support
|
||
|
|
for MS Excel Xml Spreadsheet format, 128 byte column names, PC selection
|
||
|
|
of an independent auxiliary storage pool (IASP), and support for creating
|
||
|
|
and overwriting empty query result sets.</p>
|
||
|
|
</li>
|
||
|
|
<li><strong>PC5250 print and emulation</strong> <p>V5R4 iSeries Access for Windows PC5250
|
||
|
|
comes with integrated support for version 5.8 of Personal Communications 5250.

|
Key enhancements for version 5.8 include printer session association, configuration
|
||
|
|
settings in the session windows in a printer session, page and printer setup
|
||
|
|
APIs, additional Bidi enablement, and automation object support for .NET. </p>
|
||
|
|
</li>
|
||
|
|
<li><strong>iSeries Navigator</strong> <p>There
|
||
|
|
are several new iSeries Navigator
|
||
|
|
features. For a description of these features see information provided with iSeries Navigator.</p>
|
||
|
|
</li>
|
||
|
|
<li><strong>ODBC</strong> <p>In V5R4, ODBC and your iSeries host support 128-byte column
|
||
|
|

|
||
|
|

|
||
|
|

|
||
|
|
</li>
|
||
|
|
<li><strong>Database providers</strong> <p>Library List and System Naming are now supported
|
||
|
|

|
||
|
|
these providers also support the new V5R4 iSeries host server enhancements, which
|
||
|
|
include 128-byte column names, longer SQL statements, and passing the IBM Enterprise
|
||
|
|

|
||
|
|
<p>The .NET provider also supports
|
||
|
|
LOB data types and customizable String processing for other data types. It
|
||
|
|
also supports multiple active result sets for each connection, and IntelliSense.</p>

<li><strong>Printer Drivers</strong><div class="p"> Beginning with V5R4, iSeries Access for Windows provides
|
||
|
|
a 64-bit AFP™ printer
|
||
|
|
driver for use on 64-bit versions of Windows operating systems. The new
|
||
|
|
driver is supported on the Intel<sup>®</sup> Itanium (Intel 64-bit) Processor Family of personal
|
||
|
|
computers. <div class="note"><span class="notetitle">Notes:</span> <ul><li>The driver is not supported on the Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) Hammer
|
||
|
|
family of processors.</li>
|
||
|

<li>The SCS Printer Driver is not supported on 64-bit Windows operating
|

systems.</li>

</li>
|

|
|
<li><strong>Secure Sockets Layer (SSL)</strong><ul><li>Beginning with V5R4, you can configure client PCs to, optionally, switch
|
||
|
|
in and out of FIPS-compliant (Federal Information Processing Standards) mode,
|
||
|
|
for most functions of iSeries Access for Windows where SSL is used.</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>Also, beginning with V5R4, Client Encryption (CE3) is no longer installed
|
||
|
|
as a separate product on the server in order to install 128-bit SSL Encryption
|
||
|
|
on your PC. 128-bit SSL Encryption is packaged with the iSeries Access
|
||
|
|
for Windows (XE1)
|
||
|
|
product, and is therefore available as an installable component of your usual
|
||
|
|
new, upgrade, selective, or tailored install options.</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>In addition, starting with V5R4, SSL is available for 64-bit applications
|
||
|
|
on personal computers powered by the Intel Itanium (Intel 64-bit) Processor Family. <div class="note"><span class="notetitle">Notes:</span> <ul><li>SSL is not yet available for 64-bit applications run on the Advanced Micro
|
||
|
|
Devices (AMD) Hammer family of processors or on Intel processors with EM64T. </li>
|
||
|
|
<li>SSL is available to 32-bit applications that run on either platform.</li>

<p>The C/C++ Database APIs (Optimized SQL APIs) are no
