You Asked For It: More Hands�On Courses Want more lab classes? We�ve got �em! In response to increasing demand for more hands-on training, Transarc now offers DFS� System Administration and Encina� Monitor System Administration as lecture/lab courses. The DFS System Administration course has been expanded to three days and now includes a module on the Windows NT Server and Control Center. Attendees will also benefit from the following hands-on labs: Introduction (Review of DCE and Getting Started with DFS) Protecting DFS Data Ubik Administrative Privileges Installation and Configuration DFS Server Administration and Maintenance DFS Client Administration and Maintenance Fileset Administration and Maintenance Backing Up DFS Data The Encina Monitor System Administration course now consists of three days and covers Encina 2.5. Plus, the class is more platform generic (in otherwords, it covers both UNIX� systems and Windows NT). Students will have the opportunity to administer their own Encina Monitor environ- ment. Hands-on labs cover installation of Encina software, configuration of the Monitor environment, running an example application and performing other administrative tasks, such as volume management and backups. Both DFS System Administration and Encina Monitor System Administration are offered as a three-day, stand-alone class or as part of a five-day combined course that includes an introduction to DCE administration. Watch for more hands-on classes later this year.

TRANSARC COURSE SCHEDULE�June and July 1998 DCE Programming I Course No.: DCE-P310-H0 (LECTURE/LAB) June 1 (Pittsburgh) June 15 (London and New York) July 20 (Chicago) 3 days $1,500/seat This course teaches students the concepts behind distributed computing and the essential components of the DCE Secure Core from a developer�sperspective. Students learn to use DCE programming interfaces to write applications that take advantage of DCE facilities. The course covers the tasks necessary for writing a complete client/server application that uses all of the fundamental DCE services. Significant time is devoted to hands-on labs which reinforce the concepts addressed during the lecture. Prerequisites: Students should be familiar with the C shell and able to write UNIX� applications in ANSI C.* DCE Programming II Course No.: DCE-P410-H0 (LECTURE/LAB) June 4 (Pittsburgh) June 18 (London and New York) July 23 (Chicago) 2 days $1,000/seat This course extends DCE Programming I and explores each of its major topics in greater detail. It is intended for programmers who will develop complexclient/server applications using the DCE Secure Core or the Encina� Toolkit. Labs provide students with an opportunity to reinforce these concepts. Prerequisite: Completion of DCE Programming I. Programming with Encina Monitor in C Course No.: ENC-P310-H0 (LECTURE/LAB) June 22 (London and New York) June 29 (Paris) 2.5 days $1,250/seat This course helps students learn how to write Encina Monitor-based client and server applications in C. The course introduces transactions, the notion of recoverable servers and discusses how to use XA-compliant databases in applications. This course covers the writing of a complete Monitor application with several variations. Both the Transactional-C and TX interfaces are covered for managing transactions and labs provide students with an opportunity to actively reinforce these concepts. Prerequisites: Experience writing UNIX applications in ANSI C is required. Experience in programming DCE applications or administration of either DCE or Encina is also helpful. Programming with Encina Monitor in C++ Course No.: ENC-P315-H0 (LECTURE/LAB) June 8 (Pittsburgh) July 27 (Chicago) 2.5 days $1,250/seat This course gives students an opportunity to learn how to write Encina Monitor-based client and server applications in C++. The course introducestransactions, the notion of recoverable servers and discusses how to use XA-compliant databases in applications. The writing of a complete Monitor application with several variations is also covered. The course concentrates on the Transactional-C++ interface for managing transactions and labs provide students with an opportunity to actively reinforce these concepts. Prerequisites: Working knowledge of object-oriented programming is needed. Familiarity with C++ and experience with DCE is also beneficial. Programming with Encina RQS Course No.: ENC-P320-H0 (LECTURE/LAB) June 10 (Pittsburgh) June 24 (London and New York) July 1 (Paris) July 29 (Chicago) 1.5 days $750/seat This course helps students learn how to extend the applications written in Programming with Encina Monitor to include use of the Recoverable Queuing Service (RQS). The course intro- duces the data structures supported by RQS such as element types, queues and queue sets, and illustrates how applicationscan manipulate RQS data by placing data in queues, moving it between queues, and removing data from RQS entirely. It also introduces RQS functions for searching queues sequentially and by key. Prerequisites: Programming with Encina Monitor (C or C++) is required for this course. Experience writing UNIX applications in ANSI C is required. Experience in programming DCE applications or administration of either DCE or Encina is also helpful.* Combined DCE/Encina System Administration Course No.: ENC-P320-H0 (LECTURE/LAB) June 8 (New York) June 22 (Pittsburgh) July 13 (Chicago) 3 days (New York and Chicago); 5 days (Pittsburgh) $750/seat This course introduces the concepts behind recoverable, transactional applications and describes how Encina implements these concepts. Students learn how to use Enconsole to construct an Encina Monitor cell, and to configure and run applications in the Monitor environment. Students also learn how to back up and restore Encina-based resource managers, handle essential management of storage and perform routine maintenance of a Monitor cell. The course is based on a Monitor application and makes extensive use of diagrams, output and other illustrations. Prerequisites: Before taking this course, students should have experience with DCE Secure Core system administration. Students will also benefit from experience in programming DCE or Encina applications. DCE Secure Core System Administration Course No.: DCE-A210-H0 (LECTURE/LAB) June 1 (New York) July 6 (Chicago) 5 days $2,500/seat This course introduces the concepts behind distributed computing and allows students to gain in-depth knowledge about components of the DCE Secure Core. Students learn about each component, its role in DCE and the associated administrative tasks. In addition, the course describes routine maintenance of a DCE cell, problem solving and troubleshooting, and introduces many DCE facilities, such as auditing, application management and hierar- chical cells. Prerequisites: Students should be familiar with distributed computing, the OSF DCE and system administration tasks. DE-Light Concepts and Techniques Course No.: ENC-P350-H0 (LECTURE/LAB) June 26 (New York) 1 day $500/seat This one-day course teaches students how to design and build an Internet DE-Light Client application. The Internet DE-Light Client allows Java clients to use DCE and Encina services without installing DCE and Encina on the client machine. During the course, students will explore coding techniques and troubleshoot problems in the environ- ment. This course also examines the role and administration of the DE-Light Gateway. Prerequisite: Students should have experience programming Encina Monitor applications and a working knowledge of object-oriented programming. Familiarity with C++ is assumed, and basic knowledge of the Internet and the World Wide Web is also helpful. Combined DFS and DCE System Administration Course No.: DFS-I215-H0 (LECTURE/LAB) June 8 (New York) June 15 (Pittsburgh) July 13 (Chicago) July 20 (London) 5 days $2,500/seat This course covers the material presented in DCE Secure Core System Administration and DFS� System Administration in one sequence. The first part provides in-depth knowledge of the components of the DCE Secure Core, their role in DCE and the associated administrative tasks. In addition, this material describes routine maintenance of a DCE cell, problem solving and troubleshooting. The remainder of the course focuses on DFS concepts and components, how DFS and DCE interact, and DFS commands used by system administrators. Students learn to configure and administer DFS clients and servers, managefilesets and other common administrative tasks. Prerequisite: Students should be familiar with distributed computing and the OSF DCE, as well as system administration tasks. * The labs require students to write C code and be familiar with the vi editor.
