IBM - Red Books and Red Papers

We are pioneers in new technology. Occasionally we will be adding information that you can read and download on various technical topics.

Redbooks, named for their red covers, are "how to" books, written by very experienced IBM, customer and Business Partner professionals from all over the world.

Redpapers are smaller technical documents also reflecting information gained during work on a particular topic.

Building SanFrancisco Applications with SFBuilder, REDP0011

This redpaper illustrates how to build SanFrancisco applications with version 1.1 SFBuilder from Mid-Comp International. SFBuilder is an Integrated Development Environment built specifically for SanFrancisco. Learn how to speed up your SanFrancisco Java Development, use Common Business Objects as components and remove the round-trip problem from your development process.

SanFrancisco Schema Mapping: Object Persistence and Legacy Integration, SG24-5197-00

SanFrancisco offers you the unique ability to not only store your data, but also to decide how, where, and on what platform it is stored. In most cases, this choice is independent of the application design. The SanFrancisco schema mapping feature gives you a powerful means of storing your business objects in relational databases. This redbook is designed for programmers and database administrators who intend to persist their SanFrancisco-based objects in a relational database. It describes the tools and facilities provided by SanFrancisco, as well as design and legacy integration issues.

Before reading this book, you should be experienced with SanFrancisco, Java, UML, and relational databases. You should also have access to a SanFrancisco installation (version 1.4 or later). The examples in the book were developed under Windows NT using DB2 Universal Database 5.0 as the relational database. If you are new to SanFrancisco, consider studying the SanFrancisco application development process, plus all related documents in detail, before reading this book.

The best time to read this book is before you start designing your application. If you have already designed your application, some of the implications of mapping your design to databases may surprise you. In some cases, they may even cause you to change your business model.

Please note that this redbook does not cover the installation or configuration of relational databases on any specific platform. This redbook also does not cover how SanFrancisco works, nor does it venture into detailed discussions about the coding involved in the case studies presented.

Web Enabling AS/400 Applications with IBM WebSphere Studio, SG24-5634-00

In the past two decades, the way the world does business has changed dramatically. The Internet has played a crucial role in this development. A business without some kind of presence on the Internet today would be a rare occurrence. Historically, Web sites were static but, in the past few years, interest in taking advantage of the ability to provide interactive contents has increased dramatically. This redbook explores some of the tools and techniques that can be used to bring the contents of an existing AS/400 application to the Web. The vehicle used to accomplish these tasks is the IBM WebSphere Application Server Standard Edition 2.0, which ships as part of OS/400. The tools suite used in this redbook includes the IBM WebSphere Studio 3.0 and the AS/400 Java Toolbox.

You learn how to create Web-based applications that not only interact with traditional DB2/400 databases, but also with RPG programs and other AS/400 specific features. Prior to reading this redbook, you should be familiar with the Java programming language, Web Technologies (HTML, browsers), and Web servers.

Java and WebSphere Performance on IBM iSeries Servers

This IBM Redbook provides tips, techniques, and methodologies for working with Java and WebSphere Application Server performance-related issues with a specific focus on iSeries servers. The intended audience includes iSeries system performance experts and WebSphere Application Server and Java developers. This book attempts to provide you with a comprehensive and accessible resource that has gathered information usually found in a number of disparate sources and placed them in a single reference.

The performance measurements that are published in this redbook are done by using a Java application that runs on WebSphere Application Server Release 3.5.4 and 4.0 and OS/400 V5R1.
