Siemens Nixdorf Informationssysteme AG has announced version 2.2 of its UTM Universal Transaction Monitor, which conforms to both X/Open Co Ltd and Open Systems Interconnection specifications for transaction processing monitor-database and SNA-OSI/TP connections, the company said. UTM v2.2’s XA interface, which conforms to X/Open’s Common Application Environment specifications, supports connection between the transaction processing monitor and databases as defined by X/Open’s DTP specification. Siemens says UTM v2.2 is the first transaction processing monitor to implement the OSI/TP protocol, which supports connection between the SNA world and OSI/TP for LU6.2. The new version is up on Hewlett-Packard Co HP 9000 and IBM Corp RS/6000 systems as well as Siemens Nixdorf’s own RM400 and RM600 systems.
