openUTM offers comprehensive, easy-to-use administration concepts, which allow for effective, flexible utilization of the UTM applications and provide maximum availability.
The term “administration” covers all activities required to control and monitor active UTM applications, such as:
defining and modifying the number of parallel processes, timers, scheduling, etc. (tuning the application)
locking and releasing transaction codes
integrating new services
replacing parts of the application program or the entire application program during operation
adding or removing clients, printers, or user IDs in the configuration (dynamic configuration)
defining the number of clients permitted or locked for an LTERM pool
establishing or shutting down logical connections to clients, printers or remote server applications
switching logging files
setting diagnostic tools
displaying the operational data of the UTM application
determining the IP address and making it available to the UTM application
generating, reading or deleting RSA keys
modifying cache properties
terminating the UTM application
In a UTM cluster application, each of these activities applies only locally to the individual node application or globally to all node applications.
KDCADMI program interface
For administration purposes, openUTM provides the KDCADMI program interface. This interface can be used to create your own administration programs tailored to the respective application. All administration functions can be accessed via the KDCADMI program interface (see "Administration program interface").
KDCADM command interface
Alternatively, openUTM also provides the standard KDCADM administration program, which already contains predefined basic administration functions (see "Administration command interface").
WinAdmin graphical administration program
The openUTM component WinAdmin allows you to administer one or more UTM applications on a PC with the comfort of a graphical user interface - even if the UTM applications in question are running on different platforms distributed across the network (see also "WinAdmin graphical administration program").
WinAdmin covers the entire range of functionality available through KDCADMI and also offers additional functions as well. WebAdmin is also available as an add-on on a management unit of an SE Server.
WebAdmin graphical administration program
Like WinAdmin, WebAdmin is a program which is used to administer UTM applications and possess a graphical user interface. Unlike WinAdmin, however, WebAdmin permits Internet-based administration. A single WebAdmin instance is installed centrally and provides a web application that users can sign on at from any web browser, see also "WebAdmin graphical administration program".
WebAdmin covers the entire function scope available with KDCADMI.
Administration with CALLUTM on BS2000 systems
CALLUTM is an UTM client program on BS2000 systems that can be used in many applications and with which you can administer one or more local or remote UTM applications via an SDF interface. These applications can be located on different platforms. You will find more information on the possible areas of application for CALLUTM on "BS2000-specific functions".
| The KDCADMI administration program interface, the standard KDCADM Administration program and the CALLUTM program are described in detail in the openUTM manual “Administering Applications”. The following sections merely provide a brief overview. Further information on openUTM WinAdmin or openUTM WebAdmin can be found in the respective extensive online help systems and in the User Guides. Both are delivered with WinAdmin and WebAdmin. |
