OS 2200 18.0 Highlights

• Focus on Data Center Transformation and Interoperability, Application Modernization and Security

• 107 software products developed/tested as an integrated stack

• Over 60 new feature updates

• 32 customer issued New Feature Suggestions

• 2028 TDATE$ remediation

• General Customer Availability 2Q 2018


OS 2200 18.0 Key Features

• 2028 TDATE$ Remediation

– OS 2200 execution post Jan 1st 2028

• Application Environment

– Outbound Web Services

– Modern Programming Languages (Python)

• Software Delivery

– Digital Delivery Model – Software Download

• Security

– Elliptic Curve Cipher suites usage

– Apex security assessment software (additional reports)

• Ease of use

– Apex - Enhanced Exec, User-id Configuration, Enhanced reporting (User-ID, Exec configuration)


TDATE$ Timestamp Introduction

• The original design of the OS 2200 TDATE$ format timestamp has led to potential ambiguity in the year 2028. This ambiguity is related to how OS 2200 perceives date and time.

• The compressed year in the TDATE$ format timestamp will cause the timestamp to “wrap” and cause the system to see the year 2028 as 1964.

• Therefore, the TDATE$ format expires in its usefulness on the last day of the year 2027.


TDATE$ Impacted Areas

• Several areas of Unisys system software are affected, such as:

– MFD (standard & shared)

– Accounting

– Freespace

– Program Files

– Initial Register R2

– Media Manager

– ER TDATE$

• Client applications may also be impacted, depending on how they are using configurations and timestamps.


Unisys Message to clients

• Unisys is in the process of changing Unisys software in phases, rolling out over the next several OS 2200 releases.

• By 2022, no TDATE$ format timestamps will be produced in any Unisys products, structures, or interfaces.

• Unisys is assessing tools and services for clients to provide them with ways to move forward at their own pace.

• Time Considerations for ClearPath OS 2200 SystemsUnisys has created a comprehensive document which was made publically available as part of the OS 2200 16.0 and significantly updated for the 17.0 release. Additional updates will be included in 18.0.


Unisys TDATE$ Services

• Unisys is developing services that will be available for clients who require assistance in TDATE$ remediation.

– Assessment Services which include Application Health Check to analyze TDATE$ usage, determine impact, and provide recommended actions

– Remediation Services to adapt client applications and/or utilities

(Tech Preview)

Future plans and dates are subject to change


ClearPath OutBound Web Services

What is it?

• A new capability designed to provide native ClearPath Applications

easier access to external Web Services.

Primary Use Case

• Developing applications that leverage resources from external

environments such as:

Microsoft .NET Framework

• ClearPath Outbound Web Services

– Using AIS (Application Integration Services) to bridge from OS 2200 applications to .Net web services

– AIS 4.1 FCSA target is March 31, 2018

– OS 2200 Tech Preview starts October 31


Modern Programming Languages Initiative

What is it?

• A new capability designed to provide a modern

programming language to access native ClearPath

resources and data stores.

Primary Use

Case

• Develop applications with modern tools (languages) that

leverage resources from ClearPath


OS 2200 Modern Languages Initiative

• OS 2200 Rapid Application Development for Python

– Phase1 delivery August 31, 2017

• Using Jython to access OS 2200 transactions and databases via existing resource adapters. Access OS 2200 files via CIFS.

• Utilize Iron Python (.Net ) in conjunction with AIS.

– No OS 2200 software development required.

– Client documentation and samples available for download at:

Unisys OS 2200 Rapid Application Development for Python Support site

http://epas1.rsvl.unisys.com/common/welcome.aspx?pla=OS2&nav=ORP


OS 2200 Modern Languages Next Phase

• OS 2200 Native Linux Code Execution

– High level architecture in process

• Execution environment (e.g. Python) runs in conjunction with Dorado / Software Series firmware

• Initiated, terminated and management from OS 2200

• “Looks like” running a native OS 2200 program

– External requirements are being adapted to functional requirements

– Target Post 18.0 ( 2H 2018 )


Digital Delivery

What is it?• A new capability designed to package and distribute the OS 2200

software via a download process.

Primary Use Case

• Provide an industry-standard digital distribution mechanism similar to

our competitors so that we can streamline the process allowing shorter

delivery time, and improve the quality of the software delivery.

OS 2200 release 18.0 available through Unisys Download Center in 2018


ClearPath OS 2200 2017 Security Assessment

From McAfee™ Foundstone Services:

• “Foundstone rated both the OS 2200 operatingsystem and the Apex administrative software as highly secure”

• “it is evident that the OS 2200 operating system has had security design principles such as “deny by default” and “least privilege” as a foundation throughout its evolution.”

• “effective reporting and close collaboration between the ClearPath Forward OS 2200 Operations, Architecture and Development teams within Unisys”…“this culture allows Unisys to respond rapidly and coordinate patches and remediation”


Future Plan - Agile Business Suite for OS 2200Target Delivery AB Suite 8.0

• AB Suite Developer

– Visual Studio-based development environment

– Extend AB Suite platforms to support OS 2200

– Upgrade EAE OS 2200 model to an AB Suite project (Visual Studio)

• Target Build to AB Suite OS 2200 Runtime

– Builds applications using standard OS 2200 features

• HVTIP and Self Contained Subsystems

• UDS/RDMS relational database

• UCOB generated and compiled code

– Built upon EAE for OS 2200 Runtime

• Takes advantage of EAE Runtime enhancements


How clients can prepare for AB Suite for OS 2200

• Stay up to date with EAE Interim Corrections

– Be sure both Developer and Runtime ICs are current

• Begin the journey to full DevOps through Team Foundation Server Version Control

– TFS Version Control is integrated with EAE Developer using an API

– Replaces proprietary EAE Version Control Bank

– Supports use of a common tool for version control and release management

• Begin to organize and clean up your application while in EAE

– Logically organize the model using Activities and Functional Areas

• These will map directly to Folders in AB Suite Developer

• Good way to provide visibility for your model’s structure

• Does not effect Runtime application

– Remove “dead wood”

• Logic, Reports, GSD and Dictionary items no longer used

• Old configurations

“Bimodal IT” posits that IT organizations of the future will have two separate flavors: Type 1 is

traditional IT, focused on stability and efficiency, while Type 2 is an experimental, agile

organization focused on time-to-market, rapid application evolution, and, in particular, tight

alignment with business units.
