Press Release

Announcing Support for IBM's Operations Navigator® and Management Central®

ACO PAGER™ is seamlessly integrated with Operations Navigator and provides you with a more efficient way of managing your IBM iSeries®.

For Immediate Release

NORTHWEST INDIANA/CHICAGOLAND, August 1998--DDL Systems, Inc. announces support for Operations Navigator and the ACO PAGER™ Message Alert System. Operations Navigator is a Windows® like graphical interface that you can use to perform iSeries system administration tasks. ACO PAGER™ uses standard OS/400 commands to manage message queues - unlike other products that require special message centers to view and respond to system/application messages.

The following benefits can be realized when using ACO PAGER™ in conjunction with Operations Navigator and/or Management Central:

Use Operations Navigator to view, reply-to, and remove messages in the originating or forward-to message queues monitored by ACO PAGER™.

Send pager and/or e-mail messages to individuals and/or groups of users via Operations Navigator's messaging client.

Page or send e-mail to notify data center personnel when performance thresholds have been exceeded via Operations Navigator's Management Central.

For experienced iSeries users there are no new programs or commands to learn and Operations Navigator simplifies system administration by allowing users to perform complex tasks with just a point-and-click of their mouse.

For new users, Operations Navigator can help them get started without requiring them to learn hundreds of new system commands.

Click here (existing customers only) to view online the simple instructions for setting up ACO PAGER™ and Operations Navigator to use the above features. This page requires a user id and password.

Operations Navigator is included with your iSeries system's base software. For more information on Operations Navigator follow this link to IBM's iSeries Technical Studio web site: http://www.as400.ibm.com/techstudio

Hardware Requirements

Requires one standard iSeries V.24 SDLC communications line and one ECS (or Hayes® compatible) modem (or a properly configured SMTP e-mail connection to the Internet). Works with all alphanumeric and two-way pagers, properly equipped cellular phones, smartphones, pda's, palmtops, and all numeric pagers.

Software Requirements

ACO PAGER™, ACO NET™, ACO ESI™, and ACO CLIENT™ execute on iSeries® systems (all models) running OS/400 Version 5 Release 2 (or higher). ACO Client™ requires WebSphere® Application Server v5.0 (or higher), WebSphere® Application Server - Express, or any Java 1.3 compliant web application server like Apache. ACO ESI™ requires an enterprise system application like IBM Tivoli® or BMC Patrol Enterprise Manager®. Your Enterprise System may require the use of WebSphere® MQ middleware (V5.1 or higher). This software is available from IBM at an additional fee and is not included in the purchase of the ACO ESI™ software product. ACO ESI™ optionally monitors your network connected Windows servers using a Windows compliant software agent. This software is available (at a nominal fee) from one of our business partners.
