We will create a ‘data-mart’. A database, that has key bits of Meta data about all the objects on your system. Once this ‘data-mart’ exists, you can now quickly start to review the data.
We all have lots of objects on our systems, and I am sure we have some plans and practices in place to help with dealing with storage on your system. This iSee is something you can use to help with that. We will create a ‘data-mart’. A database, that has key bits of Meta data about all the objects on your system. Once this ‘data-mart’ exists, you can now quickly start to review the data. Do you have Large objects ? Who owns these objects ? Are they important ..ie when was the last time they were actually used!!! What about *SAVF objects. I know lots of people that like to create them ‘just incase’ and they just lay about forever after that.

In this webinar, our experts will provide an overview of the main challenges of IBM i modernization and discuss best practices for addressing them.
As technology evolves, IBM i systems are becoming difficult to maintain and inflexible to meet changing business needs. Many organizations are embarking on IBM i transformation and application modernization as part of a broader digital transformation strategy. However, IBM i modernization can be a complex, risky, expensive and lengthy process, involving a range of challenges such as cost, complexity, skills gaps, and risk of data loss. In this webinar, our experts will provide an overview of the main challenges of IBM i modernization and discuss best practices for addressing them. We will cover topics such as developing a clear modernization strategy, addressing legacy applications and skills gaps, mitigating the risk of data loss during migration, and overcoming resistance to change. This webinar is designed for IT professionals who are responsible for IBM i systems and are considering modernization.

Defective PTFs, not something we talk much about and certainly not something that happens very often, but from time to time a PTF is created that we are required to mark as defective.
Defective PTFs, not something we talk much about and certainly not something that happens very often, but from time to time a PTF is created that we are required to mark as defective. When that happens, best practice is to get the replacement PTF on and approved at soonest possible time. Best to be sure what ever the problem of the defective does not effect you! This iSee will give you a script you can start using today. But it also take you though the journey, step by step, call a web page, digest the data on the page and turn into relational data. Compare that data to the PTFs currently on your system to see if you have Defective PTFs with no corrective PTFs applied.

Given the importance of HA/DR for business continuity, it is essential that you have the right tool for the task. But what are your options and how do you know which will work best in your environment?
The high availability landscape for IBM i continues to evolve. What was once a simple, one-player logical replication market is now a diverse mix of solutions, including IBM’s PowerHA and Db2 Mirror for i, along with several software-based replication solutions from third-party vendors.
Given the importance of HA/DR for business continuity, it is essential that you have the right tool for the task. But what are your options and how do you know which will work best in your environment?
During this webinar, IBM Champions for Power Systems Brian Nordland and Tom Huntington discuss the different types of data replication available for IBM i and where it makes sense to combine solutions. You’ll learn:
- The current HA/DR options available
- Pros and Cons of each solution
- A better understanding of the HA/DR coverage
- The best method for your environment: Logical Replication, PowerHA, Full System Replication (FSR), DB2 Mirror for i, FlashCopy, or a combination
Whether you’re looking to implement an IBM i high availability, improve your DR abilities, have lost confidence in your current solution, or are simply bringing yourself up to speed with the current methods of achieving HA/DR, this webinar offers a technical explanation of the options available for IBM i.
