How to Replace OfficeVision/400 in Your Applications: Looking at Domino for AS/400 and AS/400 Alternatives

In February 1999, IBM announced that OS/400 Version 4 Release 4 is the last release of the operating system that OfficeVision/400 and OfficeVision JustMail for OS/400 will support. IBM does not plan to enhance OfficeVision/400 or JustMail to support any future versions or releases of OS/400. This redbook describes Domino for AS/400 and AS/400 alternative services and APIs. It also provides several sample applications, including OfficeVision/400 sample applications, as a starting point. It is intended for use by those AS/400 customers, Business Partners, and software vendors who have developed applications that use the functions included in, or associated with, OfficeVision/400. It is also suitable for those who wish to develop similar new applications without previous experience with OfficeVision/400.

According to the OfficeVision/400 has Software Services Extended software announcement 299-192, dated July 20, 1999, the support for OfficeVision/400 (5769-WP1 and 5649-WP3) will be extended to one additional OS/400 release after Version 4 Release 4. Many customers are now looking to discontinue the use of OfficeVision/400. Many have started moving to Lotus Domino for AS/400 for their mail and calendaring needs and for building modern groupware, Internet-enabled applications.

However, customers must consider the AS/400 line of business applications they have that use OfficeVision/400 APIs. In many cases, they may not even know that they are using OfficeVision/400 APIs. It is important for them to identify in what ways they depend on OfficeVision/400.

Customers also need to select the best option to replace functions using OfficeVision/400 services. This may be to redesign the application to become a partly Domino application, to change the AS/400 program to call Domino APIs, or to use an add-on product to Domino. It also may be using other AS/400 available functions or applications. Read this redbook to learn about the alternatives that are available for you.
