This redbook describes some of the core functions of the IBM OS/2 Warp Server for e-business product based on the experience of IT Specialists who participated in the ITSO, Austin Center project. The purpose of this redbook is to provide information and guidance on new features that have been introduced into OS/2 Warp Server for e-business. This document does not describe the systems management, backup and restore, software distribution and advanced print services components of IBM OS/2 Warp Server for e-business. A later redbook is planned to cover those components. This redbook is not intended to provide information from the ground up. Instead, knowledge of IBM LAN Server 4.0 or OS/2 Warp Server 4.0, as well as an understanding of TCP/IP, is assumed.
