    Adoption! Well, not the getting a new one.. but rather the scarry security risk of running a job not with your authority… but by adopting additional authority. That may sound like great fun to you, but as an administrator, not sure I want Sally or Joe user out there running and accessing things that they really should not be using. This session will help you take a look at the programs on your system that are using adopted authority. This brilliant SQL-based insight should help you better understand your security posture.

    The professor of SQL dives into some pretty powerful building block to help you bring the full power of the SQL language to help solve problems. This example walks though SQL service delivered within SYSTOOL - Spool_File_Data. This SQL is an amazing tool for looking at the contents of spool files, but instead of using this SQL, we will review how its build and how you can leverage this for other SQL tools.

    User Profiles, we all have them, sometimes we have too many! Do you ever have a need to do a mass update of user profiles? The use case for this video was someone that needed to do some sensitive testing and did not want ANYONE to sign in during the test. Easy way to make that happen ? Disable ALL user profiles on the system for a period, and then revert all those changed back. The SQL provided will show you how to build your list of profiles, run the action and then make sure you clean up after. Sure we are showing Disable and Enable, but think of other user cases, you want to force all profiles to reset their password based on new security password rules, this SQL can easily be adopted for that as well.

    Jobs come and go and the length of time that a job runs is something that is part of the history log. Ever wonder how many jobs for a specific user profile are run? Or how long those jobs actually run? With a few fun queries, you can figure out how much time user a, b and c actually had jobs running, you can even see if they are still running jobs that have not yet ended.

    We have had the ability to send emails from the IBM i for a long time now. A few months ago we delivered a new SQL Service out in SYSTOOLS to really simplify the process. Once delivered, we started getting card and letters about all the ways we could make it better, Ha! Good news… it is! This iSee takes a closer look at this powerful service and shows how easy it is to even attach spreadsheets ( or other documents) to an email. Our last trick… we even automate the process! Nothing better than a daily email from your favorite IBM i.
