......................................................................................................................................................... 19 i INTRODUCTION Overview Jenzabar, Inc. provides a proprietary ODBC (Open Database Connectivity) driver for SQL access to the Jenzabar CX database and processes. The Jenzabar ODBC driver supports the elements of ODBC standards required for Jenzabar CX application use. It is not guaranteed to work with products other than those that those distributed by Jenzabar. The driver is frequently updated as these products are upgraded in order to support Jenzabar CX products such as Campaign Management and Human Resources, as well as third-party products such as Impromptu which are resold by Jenzabar. A proprietary ODBC driver is provided because it allows features to be added to Jenzabar CX software which would otherwise not be practical or even possible. The best example of this is the use of virtual tables by Jenzabar CX PC software. For example, the Document Imaging software can do an ID lookup just the same as a libentry program would. It can use phonetic matching because the program uses the virtual table ids_aps which is implemented by the Appserver ids_aps. This proprietary ODBC driver will allow future additions to the Jenzabar CX PC software that could not be made if a commercial driver were used. The Jenzabar ODBC driver allows integration of Jenzabar CX information with any other sources of information for comparison and evaluation. With the Jenzabar ODBC driver, you can use Jenzabar CX data with third party tools, including Microsoft Office and Visual Basic. Operation of the ODBC Link The C:\Windows\System directory contains a dll named cisodbc.dll (the name may have a trailing digit to indicate the version; e.g., cisodbc5.dll). This is the ODBC driver used by a Jenzabar CX program to link to either the Informix database or to Jenzabar CX Appservers. In operation, a program that needs to connect to an ODBC database will use the operator- supplied ODBC Data Source Name to pick a specific ODBC driver. It will then make calls to the code in the driver to connect to the required database and extract data from it. Generally, this database may be either on the local machine or accessed from a remote machine over the network. In the specific case of the Jenzabar ODBC driver, the data will be retrieved from the Jenzabar CX database server. With Jenzabar CX programs, the Jenzabar ODBC driver is used and connects to the host named in the ODBC Setup file using the port number specified in that file. Some programs open a single connection to the database, while others open two. The first of these connects through the specified port to the host program cisinf, which is the backend (host side) portion that interacts directly with the Informix database. If a second connection exists, it connects through the specified port to the host program cisaps. This program makes the connection to the AppServers that deliver data from the Jenzabar CX virtual tables (those with a suffix _aps; e.g., ids_aps). Purpose of This Guide This guide serves as a learning tool and reference guide for installing the Jenzabar ODBC driver on your system. Intended Audience This guide is for use by the system users in your institution’s computer center. System users include the Jenzabar coordinator, system administrator, and programmer/analysts.

  • Bootstrap Protocol, BOOTP, Is the Recommended Way to Establish Communications from the Host to the Printer in an Internet Protocol Environment
    BOOTP Bootstrap protocol, BOOTP, is the recommended way to establish communications from the host to the printer in an internet protocol environment. BOOTP obtains booting data from the bootptab file. With the proper information stored in the bootptab file, the printer can find its own name and IP address and boot from the network without any intervention, even for a first time boot. 1. Verify that the bootpd and bootptab files are in the correct directories: UNIX: /etc or /usr/etc directory OS/2: \TCPIP\ETC (for bootptab) and \TCPIP\BIN (for bootpd) LAN Server: MPTN\ETC (for bootptab) and \MPTN\BIN (for bootpd) Type: ls bootp* 2. Edit the hosts file to add the printer internet addresses and names: 128.07.60.30 P340-mktg 128.07.60.31 P340-sales For OS/2, use the TCP/IP Configuration Notebook under the Services tab to add the printer internet addresses and names. 3. Some UNIX hosts may require an explicit update to the arp table to add the new entries. This command is host-specific; check your host documentation for details. arp -s ether P340-mktg 08:00:11:01:00:45 arp -s ether P340-sales 08:00:11:01:00:46 The ether switch indicates that you are providing an Ethernet address. 4. Set up the bootptab file. 5. Start or restart the inetd or bootpd daemon. For OS/2 Warp, LAN Server 4.0, and UNIX, use the bootpd daemon. Here is a sample bootptab file; check your host system documentation to see which fields your implementation of BOOTP supports.

  • Configuration Management with Newfig William Lefebvre and David Snyder – CNN Internet Technologies
    Auto-configuration by File Construction: Configuration Management with Newfig William LeFebvre and David Snyder – CNN Internet Technologies ABSTRACT A tool is described that provides for the automatic configuration of systems from a single description. The tool, newfig, uses two simple concepts to provide its functionality: boolean logic for making decisions and file construction for generating the files. Newfig relies heavily on external scripts for anything beyond the construction of files. This simple yet powerful design provides a mechanism that can easily build on other tools rather than a single monolithic stand- alone program. This provides for a great deal of flexibility while maintaining simplicity. The language is a combination of boolean logic and output statements, and also provides for macros and other essential elements. All output is written to channels: an abstraction which provides for extensive configurability. Examples are provided that show the tool’s power and flexibility. A description is also provided of the efforts undergone at CNN to integrate this tool in to a sizable infrastructure. The paper concludes with a discussion of future improvements. Introduction When we sought out a tool for automated sys- tems configuration, we were looking for certain prop- As the number of systems in an infrastructure grows, the administration problem grows with it. erties that we believe would be beneficial in our envi- Unless the engineering staff grows accordingly, at some ronment. We wanted the system to be idempotent, point the management of the systems will need to be congruent, deterministic, transportable, extensible, and automated. This realization is nothing new, and several fail-safe.
