Plumbers' Workbench CMS Pipelines and OS/2 Pipe Synergy

The purpose of this document is to provide solutions for the
following problems:
VM/ESA is rich in its client/server APIs and products;
however, when simple seamless program-to-program
communication between a workstation and host is sought, one
is most often left with a tool that is either so low level
that it requires a large programming investment, or so high
level that it suffers from inflexibility.

CMS pipelines is unquestionably a programmer performance
booster, but multistream pipes may be difficult to
conceptualize. Add to this the variableless nature of a
pipe and the common use of minimal labels, and the
occasional CMS Pipelines user may require a visual framework
in order to plumb like the pros.

The Plumbers' Workbench solves these problems. Phase I, as
shipped with this document on the included diskette, offers
a seamless environment that spans OS/2 and CMS. OS/2 pipes
is extended to interact with CMS Pipelines, combining the
strengths of both environments. Phase II, a future project,
will integrate a graphical environment with Phase I to
display and manage the pipeline topology with a
point-and-click GUI.

This document is written for CMS users and programmers who
wish to exploit the synergy of OS/2 and CMS through a
unified pipeline client/server environment. Some knowledge
of OS/2 and CMS is assumed.
