  1. Linux/390 in Korean Air

  2. Korean Air • Established in 1969 • One of the Top ten airline in the world • Second largest cargo airline since 1997 • Flies to 77 cities in 29 countries with 111 aircrafts • Total 16,000+ employees

  3. Korean Air’s Challenge • Remodernization of the applications • Universal Access • Human Resource • Platform independence • Time to develop and deploy application • Scalability of the servers

  4. KAL ApplicationDevelopment

  5. Korean Air’s Application Overview • Daily Revenue Accounting System • - Old Daily RAS is based on IMS/TM and DB2 • - Total redevelopment of the application logic except DB • Flight Schedule Inquiry System • - Old FSI is based on IMS/TM and IMS/DB • - Web-to-Host implementation with Linux/390 • Webmail System • - Previous KAL mail system was based on Notes • - Webmail system is co-existent with Notes

  6. Daily Revenue Accounting System • Total 4 phase project • Linux in Korean Air is not one-time project • First phase application is for domestic branches • First phase was deloyed from Oct. 2001 • Second phase application is for foreign branches • Second phase was deployed Aug. 2002 • JSP, Servlet were used in first phase • EJB(Enterprise JavaBeans) will be used from third phase

  8. Daily Revenue Accounting System • Language : Java • Development Tool : VA for Java V3.5, Websphere Studio • User Directory : /opt/IBMWebAS/hosts/default_host/ras • Document Root: • /opt/IBMWebAS/hosts/default_host/ras/web • Servlet PATH : • /opt/IBMWebAS/hosts/default_host/ras/servlet • Web PATH : http://fly.koreanair.co.kr/kobra

  16. KAL Linux/390 Environment 2064-109 PRODUCTION DEVELOPMENT WEBMAIL LIN1 LIN2 LIN3 LIN4 8 x Linux Red 7.2 Red 7.2 Red 7.2 Red 7.2 Red 7.2 zVM 4.2 zVM 4.2 zVM 4.2 - 3 CPU - 2GB Memory - 1 CPU - 1GB Memory - 2 CPU - 4GB Memory - Linux 1,2 are clustered for flight schedule inquiry and RAS system - 8 x Linux are webmail system based on Sendmail package

  17. Softwares on Linux/390 • UDB Enterprise Edition V7.2 • WAS Advanced Edition V4.0.3 • IBM HTTP Server V1.3.12 • IBM JDK V1.3(Jit Compiler) • Connectors : UDB Connect Enterprise Edition V7.2 • IMS Connector for JAVA • MQ for Linux/390 • Tivoli Storage Manager Client

  19. Lesson learned from Linux 390 project • Linux/390 is as stable as any other • not as much as OS/390 • but more stable than any other server OS • Linux skill on Linux 390 is not a problem at all as it is same • But needs some basic 390 understanding like Channel, OSA • Most of the time for Linux/390 installation spent on these S/390 • unique features • Linux/390 support structure is different from that of traditional S/390 • …. Requires different mentality

  20. What is going on in Korean Air ? What is the next plan in Korean Air ?

  21. What is going on ? • More application on Linux • - New Personnel System • - DNS • - International Refund • - Domestic Revenue Accounting • - Frequent Flyer (Skypass) • System S/W upgrade • - WAS 4.03 to 5.0 • - DB2 UDB 7.2 to 8.1 • - DB2 Connect 7.2 to 8.1 • - In-house developed HA solution to Tivoli Automation • Oracle Database under Linux/390

  22. WhyLinux ? Linux is important to you because it is open standard... • Free from Vendor dependency • No vendor control • Running on more than 140H/W platforms • Platform independence • Common OS for various H/W platforms • Comprehensive application portability • Human Resources • Huge number of Linux trained people in the market • Price • Cheaper than other OS platforms • Different market

  23. Why Linux with zSeries? • You can have it when you need it !!! • To run the applications on most reliable H/W • To easily manage multiple servers • To be vertically & horizontally Scalability • - Phase by phase application deployment • - Multiple applications • Easy peak time management • Familiarity of Mainframe environment

  24. The excuses of not going Linux • Not stable yet for the Enterprise • Many of stability aspects depend on H/W reliability itself • Daum, Saerom, iMBC and many others are using Linux • Running on more than 140H/W platforms • No Enterprise Application • Many vendor’s middleware and applications are announced or delivered from IBM and Oracle, SAP, etc • No Management Tools • BMC, CA and other S/W vendors announced to support Linux environment (KAL is testing BMS Mainview)

  25. Summary • Linux/390 can provide the ability to consolidate servers, Server Farm in a box • With high availability through clustering • Linux in KAL is long term plan, newer technology and needs different mind-set
