The IBM i ISV ecosystem can be difficult to navigate. In this session, Brian Pederson and Linda Alkire will go through the ISV ecosystem from both a vendor and user perspective to help you use this resource.

Hybrid cloud combines and unifies IBM Private and Multi Clouds ( AWS, Azure, GCP ) into a single, scalable reference architecture built to meet today’s business needs.

Join us on a transformative journey as we explore the importance of secure and resilient Multi-Cloud solutions purpose built for IBM.

1. Unlock the modern capabilities of IBM Power Systems without introducing the complexity and risk of extensive refactoring
2. Seamlessly move applications/systems with minimal downtime
3. DRaaS and Db2 Mirror HA Solutions
4. Hybrid Cloud Architecture: Enhancing resiliency, security, and compliance

Uncover compelling reasons why Hybrid Cloud computing is vital for businesses driving positive outcomes.

Printer files, we all have them on our system, but what do we really know about them? Yesterday, CL was your only option available in trying to peel the onion of printer files. With this iSee we show how some SQL magic can bring printer files to light. Easily see your printer files, the IBM shipped printer files, as well as details galore.

Short demonstrations of tools, techniques and examples (including working SQL examples!!) to help you solve real problems that are part of your everyday work.  Presented by Scott Forstie and Tim Rowe, IBM

Carmelita Ruvalcaba Cevallos will take you through the COMMON POWERUp 2024 expo hall to meet up with subject matter experts in this IBM i Guided Tour. This tour will give you a better understanding of some of the people and technologies in the IBM i space.

In this session, Daniel Goldener walks you through the new S1012 System. This includes how the IBM team came up with the S1012 design, more details on how the system is built, use cases on the S1012 system, and pictured examples of the system.

In this session, Scott Forstie will be reviewing specific programs, resources, and tools that can be used when creating code to interact with databases.

When first beginning work on IBM i, people always ask the same types of questions. How does it differ from other OS? What are the primary interfaces? What is the organizational structure like? In this bootcamp directed at new graduates and early-career professionals, we answers all of these questions and more.

This bootcamp will be released over 13 weeks, from January 25th, 2024 through April 19th, 2024.

All sessions will appear on the CONTENT tab of this page at 2:00PM CT on Fridays. Register now and return here on the premier dates to access the content.

The primary subjects of the bootcamp are as follows.

• Overview of IBM i
• Acronyms and Terminology
• Programming Languages
• Career Pathways
• Soft Skills
• Interfaces and Connections
• Security
• Database

This bootcamp is being provided at no charge to COMMON members through a generous sponsorship from Fortra.

SQL Error Logging Facility better known as SELF.  This is one of the best kept secrets on the IBM i. The SELF support provides a lightweight, production safe way to see what is happening on your IBM i in regard to the SQL being run. Do you have warning messages that are being ignored, or worse yet, errors that are happening but ignored.  While these may seem ok as they are ignored, these issues in your SQL have the potential to cause you harm.  SELF provides a flight recorded that registers these sort of issues giving you the data you need to see what is happening and better yet, pinpoint where you need to fix things.  In this iSee we demo how to turn on , the latest new features and give you the SQL such that you can start using it today.

System values on the IBM i are core system properties that control behaviors of many aspects of your IBM i. Things like Security, National Language, SQL runtime, Dates and Times, Auditing, and so much more. This iSee will dive into the latest updates to the System_Value_Info SQL Service. This service has been enhanced to show values that make sense to humans!  I know.. what a weird concept. What the shipped default values were. We will give you some nifty SQL that shows you the values that are different than the shipped values, as well as how to easily compare the system values between 2 different systems.
