OfficeVision/400 data and text merge who want to modernize applications to exploit the
power of Lotus Notes.
BNDM functions include file and record selection and field prompting. Merged output is to
multiple Notes documents which can then be printed or reused in a Notes application, for
example, to file a record of correspondence in a client database.
Two environments are addressed:
• The notes user producing multiple letters from a DB2/400 file who requires complete
control over the output
• The Notes application where the developer requires similar capability, but in the form
of middleware, which allows the definition of structured Notes forms where the user
has no control over the output but may add free-format text
BNDM V1R1 is available as is, free of charge with IBM BNDW for AS/400 (formerly BlueNotes
Document Warehouse), a specially priced feature of IBM 5697-F08 OV/400 to Notes
Migration Tools.

BlueNotes Document Warehouse (BNDW) for AS/400, 5620-BNY
BNDW is also known as BlueNotes Document Warehouse. It is a three-tier client/server
solution that provides a Notes-based client to the AS/400 system as a file server. It builds a
Notes index of documents, PC files, and other objects stored on the AS/400 system that can
be used to create views of those files. A single view of documents, sorted by author, for
example, can include OV/400 documents, spreadsheets, faxes, images, and other objects.
This index includes support of existing document libraries such as OfficeVision BlueNotes,
and then launches PC-based editors and viewers appropriate to the file type. It includes an
option to migrate selected documents to Notes attachments.
BlueNotes is the standard solution for OV/400 document migration and coexistence. It
provides the basis for Notes-based applications to access the AS/400 document library. Its
view and edit launch capability replaces the Application Enabler user feature of OV/400.
With BlueNotes, you can access and index all your existing AS/400 documents and files.
These objects then become accessible from a Lotus Notes environment on networked PCs
and network stations, while remaining equally accessible to traditional AS/400 users. Intranet
and Internet availability is achieved by using Lotus Domino. It allows you to work with the
information, either in Notes itself or in our preferred PC software applications.
