Subject: Residency Announcement: ST-0460 Update and Rebranding of ADSM
Redbooks
Residency Announcement: ST-0460 Update and Rebranding of ADSM Redbooks
Benefits to Resident: The residents will acquire the latest details and
perspective on the Tivoli Storage Management product set in an environment that
allows experimentation and discussion with expert peers in this field. The
interaction with development will give the residents a new view of the strategic
directions of this emerging and fast growing solution area. This knowledge will
be particularly important to residents where consultancy and services are
involved.
This residency begins 07 Feb 2000, ends 10 Mar 2000 (5 weeks), and requires 4
residents.
Description: This project will update and rebrand 4 important ADSM redbooks.
The update reflects Tivoli's new licensing and packaging scheme for Tivoli
Storage Manager and new function as available. The 4 redbooks are as follows:
1. Getting Started with ADSM: Concepts Guide (SG24-5413)
2. Getting Started with ADSM: Implementation Guide (SG24-5416)
3. A Practical Guide to Implementing ADSM on AS/400 (SG24-5472)
4. Using ADSM to Back Up Lotus Notes (SG24-4534)
Using the basic content and structure of the existing books, the residents will
redo the material to reflect the current Tivoli licensing and packaging and to
incorporate any new function that has been released.
Objectives: The residents will analyze the changes in the affected product
areas and make appropriate updates to the above-mentioned redbooks in order to
create an update of the materials.
This residency is suitable for Customers, Business Partners, and IBMers.
A basic requirement for all residents is the ability to read and clearly express
concepts and procedures in common English.

Important: Even if you cannot be a resident now, perhaps you could provide or
point us to appropriate, already-existing materials as potential input to our
development efforts. We would appreciate your help in identifying any useful
material that can be expanded, referenced, or included as is. If the material
significantly contributes to the produced redbook, we will acknowledge your
assistance and may even name the creator as a contributing author. We believe
that your help will leverage the value of the already-existing materials and
will result in better redbooks produced in shorter cycle times.
The ITSO Residency program has been honed over many years to provide the maximum
benefit to residents and their businesses. IBM organizations, Business
Partners, and customers that have provided residents report that the returning
employee has gained significant new skills to enable them to support IBM's
latest products. These skills can be employed either directly for services
generation or indirectly in technical support of the sales effort. Furthermore,
the contacts made by the resident within the development community and with the
other residents are invaluable in keeping these skills up-to-date.
