ScreenView for MVS/ESA SP-JES2 Version 4 Release 2, MVS/ESA SP-JES3
SystemView ScreenView is being introduced as a set of services that will deliver a task-oriented programmable workstation (PS/2) front end to SystemView-conforming systems management applications. Applications are to exchange information objects, between applications, exchange data between host and programmable workstation, and support different skill levels with a variety of end user interface types. Highlights include a single point of entry into ScreenView-based systems management applications and integration services will enables objects to be copied between applications. An interface declaration language enables the development of end user interfaces with multiple user interface types, and a common set of services is claimed to save coding effort for the end user interface development of products. LU6.2-based communication support enables co-operative applications to communicate with remote systems without writing low-level communication code and cross system support of ScreenView facilitates a single interface to application functions across the supported environments. ScreenView will be available June 26, 1992.

It provides a description of the WDSF/VM server interface for client and server communications, and helps the customer in developing additional WDSF/VM clients on other systems and environments, without modification to its server program. AIX Version 3 for RS/6000 client will be available September 27,
while WDSF/VM Programmer’s Reference, SunOS Client, and MacOS Client will ship June 26, 1992.
LAN Resource Extension and Services/VM and MVS
LAN Resource Extension and Services/VM establishes a server environment under VM to enable Novell Inc NetWare clients to access mainframe resources. With LANRES/VM, one or more NetWare local area networks can be channel-attached to the System/390 or System/370 system. Also, it provides function that enables the central administration of the NetWare local area network, including the ability to administer user IDs, priorities, and access to resources. Data distribution services include the distribution of data to multiple servers from a central location, simplifying administration, and improving data consistency for all NetWare users. The LAN Resource Extension and Services/VM available December 20, 1991. LAN Resource Extension and Services/MVS establishes a server environment on MVS to provide support to multiple NetWare v3.11 servers directly connected to an MVS/ESA system. In conjunction with NetWare v3.11 running on a PS/2, LANRES/MVS provides disk services and data distribution. It is due to become available March 27, 1992
