Building on Unicenter TNG Framework for OS/390
=============================================

Earlier this year, CA sent Unicenter TNG Framework
for OS/390 to all of our OS/390 clients. The
Framework is a no-cost introduction of cross-
platform, object-oriented enabling technology and
services for OS/390. It combines new state-of-
the-art management capabilities provided by
Unicenter TNG services running on OS/390 with
the comprehensive services and utilities formerly
known as CA90s Services, CA-L-Serv, and CA-GSS.

The Framework provides an outstanding foundation
for enterprise management, but where do you start?
How can you exploit the Framework to integrate
your OS/390 solutions with your management
solutions for distributed platforms? How does the
Framework extend your CA OS/390 products to manage
new resources, like Unix System Services (USS)?
What is Discovery? Agent technology? The Real
World interface?

To answer your questions, CA has scheduled a
special Webcast: December 13, 2000.

To register, simply go to
http://www.ca.com/events.htm and select:
