Preface
This redbook describes how to implement the Enterprise Resource Planning
(ERP) and thin client solutions, J.D. Edwards’ OneWorld B73.3, and Microsoft
Windows NT Server 4.0, Terminal Server Edition on IBM Netfinity servers. In
particular, it covers the planning and installation of OneWorld B73.3 using
Oracle8 Enterprise Edition for Windows NT and Microsoft SQL Server 7.0. In
addition, it covers the planning and installation of Microsoft Windows NT Server
4.0, Terminal Server Edition using Citrix MetaFrame to connect to multiple IBM
Network Stations, and the latest IBM Nefinity family of servers that includes the
new Pentium III Xeon technology and other IBM features.
This redbook is designed to provide you with an easy understanding of the
implementation process, the installation, and the environments of OneWorld
optimized for the IBM Netfinity system. We’ve included an introduction to J.D.
Edwards’ OneWorld, its architecture and business solutions; the roles and
advantages of the Windows NT Terminal Server and IBM Network Stations, the
Netfinity sizing and implementation process for optimizing and configuring
OneWorld for Windows NT and hardware and software considerations
information to help in your decision making.
Also shared in this redbook are instructions on the use of IBM’s latest
ServerGuide that is used to set up the Netfinity hardware and prepare your
system for Windows NT Server, and the Netfinity Manager, a systems
management solution to monitor and manage the Deployment and Enterprise
server and OneWorld workstation clients.
In our example of the sizing and implementation process, we provide a scenario
on how you would prepare and configure the IBM Netfinity server for OneWorld’s
Pristine, Production, Development, and Conference Room Pilot environment
using Oracle8 for NT and Microsoft SQL Server 7.0 relational databases.
This redbook is not designed to replace the J.D. Edwards’
OneWorld Installation
Guide (Windows NT-Based Systems), Release B73.3
. This book is designed to
help you quickly set up and run the OneWorld solution in an organization or
corporate environment.
It is assumed that the reader of this redbook has had some education and work
experience in using Oracle8 Enterprise Edition for NT, Microsoft SQL Server 7.0,
Microsoft Windows NT Server 4.0, and J.D. Edwards’ OneWorld.
