Session Abstract:
The power of the EVA is in its management simplicity. Yet we all know a workload or administrator that pushed all the wrong buttons on a piece of technology yielding it simply
powerless. Understanding "best pr actices" for configuration and operation of an EVA helps you avoid costly missteps that rob your environment of the performance or flexibility that you need. In
this 3 hour hands-on workshop, you will gain practical experience in configuring the EVA acco rding to "best practices" so that the investment can be maximized. Areas of exploration will include:
- Capacity planning basics: How do I know if my array is out of gas?
- Performance 101: How can I squeeze another x% from the array?
- Disk backups/copies: Making the best use of Point-in-time copies.
- Managing a dynamic environment: Keeping IT simple.

Session Times: Wednesday AM, Thursday PM
Instructor: Burns Fisher, Ruth Goldenberg
Session Level: Advanced
Session Abstract:
We will be looking at the architecture of the 3 VMS processors (VAX, Alpha, Itanium) from the point of view of VMS engineers. We will include some rationale for the architecture decisions, as well as
some instruction examples. While you will not walk away knowing how to build or even program one of these processors, you should have a better context for understanding the decisions that have been
made through the years. You will be able to explain CISC, RISC, and EPIC , and have a better idea how the architecture and the operating system contributed to each other's design. You should be
better able to read the machine code listings produced by our compilers (with an instruction set listing at your side).
We will talk little about the privileged architecture of any of the systems. That is the subject of another block.
The first part of this talk, led by Ruth, will focus on VAX and VMS architecture co-design and Alpha user architecture.
The second part of this talk, led by Burns, will focus on the Itanium user architecture.

Instructor: Burns Fisher, Ruth Goldenberg
Session Level: Advanced
Session Abstract:
This session will talk about the privileged (i.e. kernel mode, or OS-managed) architecture of the three VMS architectures: VAX, Alpha, and Itanium. We will include information about how interrupts
and exceptions are delivered by each of the architectures as well as a discussion of how the SWIS component of VMS on Itanium replaces some of the functions of VAX microcode and Alpha PAL code.
We will not be discussing system service entry. That is a separate talk.
The first part of this talk, led by Ruth, discusses some of the primitives of privileged architecture that were co-designed for VAX and VMS and carried forward into the Alpha architecture.
The second part of this talk, led by Burns, discusses the privileged architecture of the Itanium, which is considerably different from VAX and Alpha.
The third part of this talk, led by Burns, discusses SWIS, the software component that provides on Itanium the privileged primitives that VMS requires.

Session Times: Wednesday PM, Thursday PM
Instructor: Hein van den Heuvel
Session Level: Intermediate
Session Abstract:
In this block we'll review DCL, as a language, mostly because it is always there, always ready to be used. Similarly we'll take a look at Macro as a language for simple tools again because it is
always there. The major portion of this block will be an introduction to Perl from a practical perspective. Seasoned OpenVMS administrators should at least take a look at Perl because it is an
excellent alternative for many DCL tasks and as it can give an easy entry into 'the other operating systems'.
Every system manager has written DCL command file using the basic read and write DCL commands to process text files. This session will take this basic mechanism several levels deeper. How about using
DCL to read and update RMS indexed file such as SYSUAF and VMSMAIL_PROFILE using KEYS. How about processing the Tag-Length-Value (TLV) datum's in VMSMAIL_PROFILE? Did you ever use READ/KEY on fixed
length sequential files? With that we can uise DCL to manipulate the internal structure of an INDEXED file! This session will show how to patch a broken RMS indexed file back to life using DCL only.
For the piece-de-resistance the session will decompose a command file which reads the data from a locked file by reading its file header from INDEXF.SYS and decoding the mapping pointers to find the
blocks with the data, all in DCL. Sprinkle that with some 'nice to know' and 'did you ever try' and the participants will learn some real magic to take home.
I like developing OpenVMS automation solutions with DCL. I even like to think I'm pretty good at it! There is nothing wrong with using DCL as a scripting language (certainly not when compared to one
of those Unix shell doohickeys).
However, I must admit that certain style of problems are solved more elegantly, quicker and more robust with PERL scripts or a combination of Perl and DCL. Perl, through its powerful associative
arrays and regular expression, can be a great tool to for text parsing and data manipulation. This session will introduce the audience to using Perl from a DCL script writing vantage point. The
session assumes no knowledge of Perl, just an open mind. It will provide an introduction to the language and its powerful regular expressions and show some basic Perl coding practices. The session
will compare DCL and Perl solutions for several example problems.
Do you know Macro? Are you a little bit curious as to how to use it? It appears that OpenVMS MACRO is somewhat of a forgotten language. Yet it is powerful, free, and available on every single
OpenVMS system: VAX, Alpha or Itanium. This session will not advocate to use Macro as a main implementation language, but just provide a reminder that is there ready to be leveraged. The
participants will learn some of its basic usages by examining a few relatively easy example programs.

Session Times: Sunday, Wednesday AM
Instructor: Hein van den Heuvel
Session Level: Intermediate
Session Abstract:
This session will show how to break, and fix, an RMS indexed file. In order to do so, we will start with an overview of the internal layout of an RMS indexed file. We will follow that overview hands
on with an ANAL/RMS /INT session. As we dive into the file internals several performance implications will become also clear.
RMS global buffers are one of the more powerful tuning techniques for RMS (indexed) file yet curiously are still under utilized by applications. The presenter will show how now more than ever you may
lobal buffers for you're applications. Four relatively new (less than 15 years ) RMS developments may well be of great benefit to your application: Hashed Lookup, Address Space re-use, Concu
o reminds the participant of other new(ish) RMS features such as: Key-Less-Than, Convert improvements, No-Query-Lock, Sequential file buffering.
This session will give some practical, real life, RMS performance tuning examples. These are cases where tuning a single file, improved the performance of the whole system. Rather then a day long
session looking in detail at every possible knob and the mechanisms behind it, this session will highlight potentially high impact areas based on hands-on tuning experiences. The examples will show
some good, bad, and downright ugly files and how they were fixed using for example: Global buffers, Convert, Index Depth, Duplicate Key Chains, Empty bucket scans, Deferred Write. You may have
thought your application files are suffering some through neglect? Just look at some of these examples!

Session Times: Monday PM, Wednesday AM
Instructor: Johan Michiels,Arie de Groot
Session Level: Basic
Session Abstract:
This block introduces two products:
- CockpitMgr for OpenVMS
- The Alpha Emulator
A combined demonstration of both products will conclude the session.
Polycenter is back. It's better. It's called CockpitMgr now.
In the early nineties, Digital released a portfolio of system management production tools under the Polycenter brand name.
Maybe you're still using today one or more of those products which may now have another name.
In the mean time, technology evolved and those old products no longer fulfil all needs.
CockpitMgr bundles the functionality of several Polycenter products, but evolved in parallel with the newest technologies. It can be considered as the most complete OpenVMS system management toolkit
in the industry, helping the system manager in his daily operations. It runs entirely on OpenVMS.
The current presentation makes an inventory of VMS system management needs anno 2007, and explains how CockpitMgr can provide a perfect solution for system and console monitoring, network, storage
and configuration management.
Alpha Virtualization@work
Alpha Hardware Virtualization is a fairly new development that allows Alpha computer users to move from their old systems to a more current, industry standard platform without changing their Alpha
software. It provides a perfect solution for those Alpha users that have problems to migrate their software to the Alpha successor product. This session will focus on operational aspects of Alpha
Virtualization and include several customer cases where this product is implemented. Attendees will gain insight in where the actual benefits of such a solution reside and if/how it is an interesting
subject for the organization they represent. A live demonstration of the product will be included, using the power or Alpha Virtualization to run an OpenVMS environment that is managed by CockpitMgr.
The attendees can participate by using the Virtual Alpha installation on HP notebooks.

Session Level: Advanced
Session Abstract:
Prior to 9/11, companies felt relatively safe with disaster recovery sites not far away or with disaster-tolerant cluster configurations with only a few miles between sites. Now we see the somber
realization setting in that terroristsmight obtain a nuclear weapon and take out an entire metropolitan area, potentially wiping out both sites of a disaster-tolerant OpenVMS Cluster. This is causing
many businesses to be under pressure to set up disaster recovery or disaster-tolerant configurations with 1,000 miles or more between sites. This session covers the various potential challenges
typically encountered in developing a long-distance disaster-recovery or disaster-tolerant solution, the technologies and strategies which may be applied, and the pros and cons of various approaches,
as well as methods which may be used to simulate and test a long-distance configuration prior to implementation.

The Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) - OpenVMS Encryption
The Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) FIPS PUB 197 was first published in November 2001 by the National Institute of Standards
and Technology (NIST). Since then, AES has subsequently become the approved symmetric encryption algorithm, not only to replace DES
within the Federal Government, but to protect sensitive information within the public sector as well. With today's international
regulations regarding the protection and safeguarding of information, banks, credit card companies, pharmaceutical and other
industries choose AES encryption to keep their data secure.
AES Encryption for OpenVMS was introduced in OpenVMS version V8.3. Since then we have made some improvements that we would like to
share with you. Paul Mosteika will discuss the following AES Encryption topics as one of the sessions in the Security block:
Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) - OpenVMS Encryption
