| Description |

New in IBM Content Manager OnDemand for z/OS, V8.5
- Enhanced reporting and analysis for improved management of the OnDemand system
- The enhanced reporting command produces a report for a 24 hour period. The report is output in two files, each of which is optional. The first file is the raw data extracted from the OnDemand System Log and formatted as XML. The second file is a summary derived from the raw data. The report covers three sets of operations of the system, logins, loads, and query and retrieves. Each operational set is broken down further into operations by a user or host, operational counts, and hourly time periods when the operations occurred. The summary data is designed to help you plan system activities, illuminate peak usage, and watch for usage irregularities.
- Enhanced security capabilities to enable you to better comply with your corporate security requirements
- Support for Secure Socket Layer (SSL) data transmission
- Support for SSL communication with Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP)
- Enhanced password support (FIPS 140-2)
- Support for multiple Tivoli Storage Manager (TSM) servers.
- Indexing enhancements for AFP and PDF data to provide improved indexing productivity
- Support for indexing PDF metadata
- Implements the AFP Download Plus Receiver interface into OnDemand
- Expanded support for multiple concurrent languages including multiple language folder field names and Unicode enhancements.
- Support for DECFLOAT datatype in DB2.
- Improved batch administration (ARSXML) capabilities and performance enhancements
- Administer the OnDemand Distribution Facility (ODF) from the OnDemand Windows Administrator instead of the separate CICS® administrator for ODF.
- The OnDemand Advanced Function Presentation Transformations for z/OS (formerly called AFP2WEB) optional feature now includes a LINE2PDF transform capability in addition to the previously available AFP2HTML and AFP2PDF transform capabilities.
As previously documented in the OnDemand readme files, the OnDemand Web Administrator (ODWA) is removed in V8.5. You can use the OnDemand Windows Administrator, which offers additional functionality to ODWA.

You may elect to have your Information Technology Services managed solely for your benefit by a third party; however, as the licensee, you remain responsible for compliance with all terms and conditions, including but not limited to, the acquisition and maintenance of a sufficient number of licenses as described in this License Information document. You may not assign, transfer, delegate, or sublicense any of your rights or obligations, in whole or in part, to such third party without the express written permission of IBM.
You may not use the program or any component thereof to provide hosting services to third parties unless otherwise agreed to in writing by IBM.
IBM Content Manager OnDemand z/OS - Authorized User
An Authorized User authorization must be obtained for each individual user accessing the program in any manner. Each Authorized User authorization is attributable to one and only one individual user, either within or outside your enterprise. An Authorized User authorization is required for each individual user who accesses the program or any component, application, feature, function, or capability thereof, either directly or indirectly, through any means on behalf of the user. Users require authorization for accessing content managed within, or distributed from the program server. Each Authorized User authorization entitles one individual user to establish one or more connections to any number of program servers across any of the supported platforms with the exception of IBM DB2 Content Manager OnDemand for z/OS, which requires a separate server PoE. An Authorized User authorization may only be reassigned for the long-term replacement of personnel.

Server
Server is a unit of measure by which the program can be licensed. A server is a physical computer that is comprised of processing units, memory, and input/output capabilities and that executes requested procedures, commands, or applications for one or more users or client devices. Where racks, blade enclosures, or other similar equipment is being employed, each separable physical device (for example, a blade or a rack-mounted device) that has the required components is considered itself a separate server. For the purpose of server-based licensing, Licensee must obtain entitlements for each server which is made available to the program, regardless of the number of processor cores or partitions in the server or the number of copies of the program on the server.
Note:
- Some programs may require licenses for the program and what is being managed. In that case, the following applies. In addition to the entitlements required for the program directly, licensee must obtain entitlements for this program sufficient to cover the servers managed by the program.
- Some programs may be licensed on a managed basis only. In that case, the following applies. Instead of the entitlements required for the program directly, licensee must obtain entitlements for this program sufficient to cover the servers managed by program.
