Highlights o Increased performance in memory constrained environments o OS/2 EE V1.3 minimum memory requirement reduced to 3MB o Adobe Type Manager,(R)1 ATM,(R)2 and IBM's core set of fonts o Communications Manager enhancements for asynchronous communications support, ethernet LANs, Batch Configuration, and 3270 emulation o Support for new hardware as listed in the Specified Operating Environment o Comatibility maintained with existing OS/2 EE compatible systems and applications Description USER PRODUCTIVITY PERFORMANCE OS/2 Extended Edition Version 1.3 performs system functions faster than OS/2 EE V1.2 in memory-constrained environments. A memory-constrained environment is caused when applications over commit system memory and disk swapping is necessary. For many applications the improved program load facility of OS/2 Extended Edition V1.3 provides a performance enhancement of two to three times faster than OS/2 EE V1.2 when loading programs from Servers to Requesters. Enhancements for any given application may vary outside of this range. The performance is influenced by the amount of code the application preloads at start up time. The minimum memory requirement is reduced from 3.5 MB to 3.0 MB. This minimum memory will allow a Communications Manager application, such as Terminal Emulation or LAN Requester, to operate concurrently with a DOS Compatibility mode application. Environments that require more than 3.0 MB of memory include using the Database Manager, multiple communication protocols, or large OS/2 applications. Users should ensure that they have the capability to expand their memory beyond 3.0 MB. INSTALLABILITY The Communications Manager Batch Configuration Utility used to create, delete and modify profiles has been enhanced to add SNA Gateway, and extend 3270 emulation, SNA/APPC, SDLC, and LAN environments. System Administrators can take advantage of these facilities to make configuration in the new areas more streamlined. The Print Manager simplifies the installation of printers and printer device drivers. It contains the interface to a new industry standard Print Spooler that is fast, efficient, and simplifies printing over a Local Area Network. OS/2 Installation now allows optional base operating system functions to be selectively written to disk. This permits a reduction in fixed disk requirements and allows additional fixed disk space for user programs and data. BUSINESS SOLUTIONS FUNCTIONALITY OS/2 Extended Edition V1.3 includes Adobe Type Manager and will be shipped with IBM's core set of fonts. Adobe Type Manager accepts Adobe Type 1 outline fonts to provide high quality typographic text in a full range of sizes and styles to all supported printers and displays. This provides, "What You See Is What You Get (WYSIWYG) technology for OS/2 Presentation Manager (PM) applications. Over 600 different Typefaces available in Adobe Type 1 Font format can now be used with OS/2. The core fonts are Times New Roman, (R)3 Times New Roman Bold, Times New Roman Italic, Times New Roman Bold Italic, Helvetica, (TM)4 Helvetica Bold, Helvetica Italic, Helvetica Bold Italic, Courier, Courier Bold, Courier Italic, Courier Bold Italic and Symbol font. Adobe Type Manager requires no new application programming interfaces and works with existing OS/2 applications that use Presentation Manager Outline Fonts. AVIO fonts are provided allowing a user to select a suitable command line window font to match the system display. The Communications Manager component of OS/2 EE has several enhancements including the ability for ACDI calls to be re-directed across a LAN. This allows OS/2 EE ASCII terminal emulation users to use the modem and line pooling facilities of the IBM LAN Asynchronous Connection Server Version 2.0. For more details, refer to PLET ZP90-0387 dated 5 September 1990. Etherand LAN support for the LUA (LU 0, 1, 2, and 3) protocols will help enable solutions for financial and other industry customers that require the combination of LUA applications over etherand LANs. 3270 emulation users benefit from the additional AVIO display fonts. This allows greater choice to match the application and display environments, and to more fully utilize the entire screen. OS/2 Extended Edition V1.3 has support for Type 2.1 (T2.1) Nodes. A workstation using OS/2 EE V1.3 can function as a T2.1 node attached to another T2.1 node in the non-subarea network environment. This workstation, when functioning as a peripheral node, can communicate with an SNA subarea network using the T2.1 protocol if the proper levels of NCP and VTAM are used. T2.1 node support allows parallel LU6.2 sessions. The DOS Database Requester supports the IBM Token-Ring, IBM PC Network, and ethernet LAN environments. Either the LAN Server V1.3 or the LAN Support Program are required for ethernet LAN support. The DOS Database Requester Workstation requires the installation of the LAN Support Program V1.2 and DOS 3.3 or later to support the NETBIOS session used to communicate with the OS/2 Extended Edition Database Manager server. GROWTH ENABLEMENT EXPLOITATION OS/2 Extended Edition supports the newly announced PS/2 hardware as described in the Specified Operating Environment section.

(NSTL) is an independent laboratory which has indicated to IBM that it plans to offer an OEM ethernet LAN adapter compatibility testing service for OS/2 Extended Edition (EE) V1.3. Manufacturers of Network Driver Interface Specification (NDIS)-compliant ethernet LAN adapters will be able, for a fee, to submit their adapters and NDIS drivers to NSTL for compatibility testing with software supporting ethernet DIX V2.0 and IEEE 802.3 protocols provided in the Communication Manager function of OS/2 EE V1.3. OS/2 EE V1.3 Communications Manager's implementation of NDIS is based on the Microsoft publication, "LAN Manager Network Driver Interface Specification, Version 1.0.1", dated May 4, 1988. The specific details of IBM' s implementation will be available from IBM upon request to IBM Corporation, Department D53, 11400 Burnet Road, Austin, Texas, 78758. Any claims of compatibility with OS/2 Extended Edition V1.3 will be made by each OEM ethernet LAN adapter manufacturer and/or NSTL. NSTL has advised IBM that NSTL plans to announce availability of this service in the fourth quarter of 1990. Inquiries regarding the service should be directed to NSTL at (215) 941-9600. NSTL certification of an OEM's NDIS-compliant ethernet LAN adapters is not meant in any way to constitute an endorsement of the OEM's products by IBM, and IBM will not warrant nor provide technical or defect support for the claims made by such OEM or NSTL. Updated information for ordering API documentation. Previous announcements have described a Business Graphics Interface and an Interpretive Services Interface. Instructions were given on how to request information about these interfaces. The address given to request information has been changed to: IBM Corp. Entry Systems Division Database Management Products Department A04/building 814 11400 Burnet Road Austin, Texas 78758 Sytos Plus/IBM OS/2 File Backup Utilities The Sytos Plus/IBM OS/2 File Backup Utilities can be used with OS/2 Extended Edition V1.3 to backup and restore stand-alone and network server workstations. MEMORY WORKSHEET The minimum memory requirement for an Operating System/2 mode only environment is 3.0MB. This minimum memory will allow users in Operating System/2 mode to execute a Communications Manager terminal emulation application, and an application program, such as a spreadsheet application comparable to existing IBM DOS applications. Users should ensure that they have the capability to expand their memory beyond 3.0MB. Environments likely to require incremental memory include concurrent IBM DOS-mode applications, multiple communications protocols, or concurrent communications and database applications. PS/2 Model 70 (8570) Models E61, 121 and PS/2 Model 80 (8580) Models 111 and 311 uses 128KB of memory for hardware system use. Memory planning information is available in the "Information and Planning Guide". The following worksheets can be used to help determine capacity requirements for a particular OS/2 configuration. Memory Estimating Worksheet Recommended Function Memory (MB) User ----------------------------------------- ----------- ------- Operating System: Base (required) 1.5 ------- DOS Compatibility (1) 0.5 ------- High Performance File System (HPFS) 0.3 ------- Active Spooling (while printing) 0.3 ------- System Performance Buffer (2) 0.5 ------- Communications Manager: Base (required for communications) 0.1 ------- 3270 Terminal Emulation (3) 0.3 ------- 3270 host print and host printer emulation 0.3 ------- SNA Gateway (4) 0.1 ------- 5250 Work Station Feature (4) 0.2 ------- ASCII Terminal Emulation 0.3 ------- APPC 0.4 ------- LUA (4) 0.2 ------- File Transfer (5) 0.3 ------- Database Manager: (6) Database Services - stand alone 1.3 ------- Database Requester (7) 0.5 ------- Database Server (7) 1.5 ------- Per additional concurrent process 0.15 ------- Query Manager 1.6 ------- LAN Requester (8) 0.4 ------- LAN Server V1.3 (separate product) (9) 2.3 ------- OS/2 Applications (10) ------- Applications Data (11) ------- Total ----------- Notes: (1) Automatically installed but removable by changing the PROTECTONLY=NO statement in the CONFIG.SYS file to PROTECTONLY=YES. This memory is optionally available to OS/2 applications whenever the DOS mode is in the background. (2) This additional system memory allows better performance for transient conditions such as program loading, program termination and print spooling. (3) If the 3270 connection is LAN, SDLC, or X.25 (that is, not a DFT coax connection), also include APPC (4) APPC is a prerequisite for this function. (Add the APPC recommended memory to the total only once.) (5) Concurrent file transfer function requires 0.3Mb for each session (6) Additional memory for Database buffer pool or sort heaps may be required depending on the user's workload (7) Includes the necessary Database Services code. Communications Manager Base and APPC are also required for Remote Date Services. (8) Communications Manager base is a prerequisite for LAN Requester. If the LAN Requester full screen panels are not used (that is, only the command line interface is used) then reduce the 0.4MB to 0.1 MB. (9) This depends on the installation parameters. Refer to the "IBM OS/2 LAN Server Network Administrator's Reference" for more information. (10) Provided by the supplier of the application (11) Dependent on the application and the user To estimate memory requirements, add the recommended memory size for the operating system base to the size for each installed function and application, plus an allowance for user data buffer requirements. The numbers shown in the above worksheet give the recommended memory size in MB for concurrent operation of designated OS/2 functions. These numbers reflect the working set of the OS/2 functions listed, not the total size of all the code and data areas that comprise the functions. The quantities shown assume an acceptable degree of swapping. Refer to 'Memory Management Techniques' in the "OS/2 Information and Planning Guide" for a description of the method used to develop these quantities. The memory requirement is less if the user does not execute all installed functions and applications concurrently. In that case, the required memory size is the sum of the base operating system and the particular functions and applications the user wishes to execute concurrently, plus an allowance for user data. Using less than the recommended memory size may increase the time to switch from one function or application to another, reduce keystroke responsiveness, reduce throughput, and increase the size of the swap data file (identified in the fixed disk estimating worksheet). FIXED DISK WORKSHEET A minimum of 30Mb of fixed disk is required on one or more disk drives. This will allow a user in Operating System/2 mode to execute a Communications Manager application, and an application program, such as a spreadsheet application comparable to existing IBM DOS applications. Users should ensure that they have the capability to expand their fixed disk beyond 30Mb. In addition to space for user-written programs and data files, some examples of environments likely to increase disk requirements are concurrent installation of the Communications and Database Managers, and the extent to which execution of concurrent applications occurs (requires segment swap areas). In these cases, users should ensure that they have the capability to expand their fixed disk beyond 30Mb. Fixed disk planning information is provided in "The Information and Planning Guide". Fixed Disk Estimating Worksheet Required Fixed Functions Disk (MB) User ----------------------------------------- ----------- ------- Operating System: Base (required) (1) 9.5 ------- Base (optional) (2) 3.5 ------- Segment swap data set (3) 2.5 ------- Communications Manager: Base (required for communications) 2.7 ------- 3270 Terminal Emulation 0.6 ------- SNA Gateway (4) 0.2 ------- 5250 Work Station Feature (4) 0.3 ------- ASCII terminal emulation 0.4 ------- APPC 0.3 ------- LAN Communications (5) 0.3 ------- X.25 Communications 0.9 ------- Configuration Services 2.9 ------- Terminal emulation keyboard remap 0.3 ------- Programming Interfaces (API's) 1.3 ------- LUA (4) 0.2 ------- Database Manager: Database Services (standalone) 3.0 ------- Database Requester (6) 2.4 ------- Database Server (6) 3.2 ------- For each additional database (7) 1.1 ------- Query Manager 3.2 ------- LAN Requester (8) 4.6 ------- LAN Server V1.3 (minimum) 6.2 ------- OS/2 applications (9) ------- Applications data (10) ------- Total ----------- Notes: (1) Includes components unique to Extended Edition. For Standard Edition, reduce this amount by 2.1MB (2) Approximate total of individually selectable options: SE Documentation = 0.5MB, EE Documentation = 0.5MB, Adobe fonts = 0.4MB, PM fonts = 0.5MB, HPFS = 0.3MB, Country support = 0.1MB, System utilities = 0.5MB, DOS utilities = 0.2MB, Picture utilities = 0.3MB, Diagnostic utilities = 0.2MB. (3) A 2MB to 4MB swap area is adequate for many environments. However, the swap area is dynamically allocated as applications require more memory than is available. A swap data set larger or smaller than shown may be needed. (4) APPC is required for this function. (Include the APPC requirement in the calculations only once.) (5) Add this number for each type of LAN adapter that is installed. (6) Communications Manager base and APPC are prerequisties for Remote Data Services. If the DOS Database Requester is installed on the Database Server, an additional 1.1MB is required. (7) This number is for table definitions and internal structures for each database. This number is subject to many variables, such as additional (secondary) or larger log files and temporary work files, and does not include user data. Actual fixed disk requirements may differ. (8) Communications Manager base is a prerequisite for LAN Requester (9) Provided by the supplier of the application. (10) Dependent on the appliation and the user.
