3653.0. "Workgroup Systems White Papers" by RESTRT::LATIMER (Eastern States Product Support) Fri Dec 10 1993 17:01

	Below is the location of the white papers which were written for the
	Workgroup Systems TEP (Technology Exchange Program) held in Reading 
    	this past September/October.

	These papers can all be accessed via TIMA or copied directly from
	ROMA::TEP$PUBLIC:.  
    
        Note:  Some of these papers are very long because the 
        TEP logo is at the top of every page; this adds considerably to the
    	amount of time the paper takes to print.  We are working to see if
    	we can get "no logo" versions out there.  In some instances, you may be
        able to get one of these shorter versions by contacting the author.

	
    	Regards,

	Nancy

- Workflow Software 
  by Ralf H�u�er

	WORKFLOW_OVERVIEW.PS

	companies want to implement Computer Integrated Business Processes
	within their Workgroup Environment. This whitepaper gives an 
	introduction to workflow from the view of Desktop Integration. It
	describes the workflow capabilities in the LinkWorks and TeamLinks 
	environments. The papers contains an overview of the Digital Workflow
	Architecture and gives hints for possible extensions of the Workflow
	capabilities in LinkWorks and TeamLinks.  This whitepaper is aimed to
	help Digital people who have little knowledge in this specific area to:

	- get a better understanding of the term "workflow"

- Document Conversion Facilities in the TeamLinks Environment
  by Jill Houlding

	TEAMLINKS_DOCUMENT_CONVERSION.PS

	The purpose of this paper is to identify the opportunities available
	within the TeamLinks environment for performing document conversion. 
	It is fairly widely known that conversions between the popular PC 
	applications formats created within the TeamLinks environment and other
	Digital products can be performed. It is not clear, however, where the
	conversion is performed nor what additional products or additional
	configuration is required to accomplish this.  The paper describes how
	to implement conversions of document types Word for Windows, WordPerfect
	and WPS-PLUS when mailing these between	the following environments:

	- TeamLinks V2.0 (IOS Mail server)
	- TeamLinks V2.0 (DEC MailWorks server)
	- ALL-IN-1 IOS V3.0A

	Using KeyPak for VMS and CDA Converter Services conversion tools in
	addition to those supplied within individual products.  In addition, the
	paper will also consider MAILbus Conversion Manager


- TeamLinks and LinkWorks: An Overview
  by Nancy Latimer

	TLINKS_LWORKS_OVERVIEW.PS

	The announcement of LinkWorks as a Corporate product has caused much
	confusion in the field among specialists supporting office products.  
	We need to understand how LinkWorks fits into the Workgroup Systems
	product space alongside existing products like TeamLinks and ALL-IN-1.
	This paper will present an overview of the TeamLinks Version 2.0 and 
	LinkWorks V2.1 products.  Each product will be discussed in terms of 
	the  following topics:

	- Introduction			- Platforms
	- Packaging			- Prerequisite Hardware/Software
	- Installation			- Setup
	- Key Features

	The goal of this paper is to give the reader a better understanding of
	what each of these products is and what types of customer problems each 
	can help to solve.  Additionally, the information on installation and 
	set up should help to aid someone not familiar with the products in
	understanding what is involved in getting them up and running.

	NOTE:  THIS PAPER IS OVER 9000 BLOCKS LONG WITH THE LOGO!  TO COPY A 
        SHORTER VERSION (2443 BLOCKS) WITHOUT THE LOGO, SEND ME A MAIL 
        MESSAGE AND I WILL GIVE YOU A POINTER.

  by Marjorie Nevins

	MAILBUS_400_MTA.PS

	This paper's goal is to make the installation and configuration of
	MAILbus 400 easier for the end user to install and configure for the
	MTA, Directory Service and various User Agents.  It will include
	examples of the setup of the MTA, Directory, Poste and SMTP.  It will

- The AIDA server
  by Darrin Rogers & Frederic Challal

	AIDA.PS

	The  ALL-IN-1 Distributed  Access server (called AIDA server), allows
	TeamLinks and OpenVMS clients to access	ALL-IN-1 IOS and DDS Data. This
	server in conjunction with the File Cabinet server is the heart of the
	TeamLinks integration into ALL-IN-1. It will also be used by customers
	to downsize their applications.	The paper is divided into 3 major parts:

	- Describe the server and client architectures,
	- Troubleshooting the server,
	- How to build a client application while still using the server data 


- Mailbus 400 1988 MTA Routing Design
  by Momena Rouf

	MB400_ROUTING_DESIGN.PS
       
	This paper delivers an introduction to a mail routing design for various
	types of mail systems.  The document presents to the audience the basic
	concepts of MAILbus 400 and the 1988 MTA; guidelines involved on
	designing a naming scheme for assigning O/R addresses; the planning
	involved to embody the 1988 MTA as an Enterprise Messaging Backbone  
	server in a multi-mail environment platform; and a scenario customer
	case that requires such a solution and configuration.


- Linkworks foreign mail exchange
  by Patrizia Santisi

	LINKWORKS_AND_EXTERNAL_MAIL.PS	

	This paper describes how LinkWorks can exchange mail with remote non
	LinkWorks systems. It discusses how to set up the 'External mail'
	functionality to interface UNIX mail, X.400 mail via the Mailbus 400,
	and Mailbus dependant mail products (like ALL-IN-1, Teamlinks). It will
	also give a description of the main limitations that will be encountered
	when exchanging mail between LinkWorks and non LinkWorks systems.

    Note that if you run the documents through a PostScript-to-Text
    converter they print a lot quicker.
