A bit different this one. I was recently asked by a fellow IBM Champion to give him a quick run through on Java on the IBM i, so I thought I would write a quick article on this topic for others out there. Installation of Java Java has to be installed on our IBM i […]
IBM Champion Tweets
As you will hopefully know, in my last few arcticles for PowerWire, I have been writing about retreiving tweets and storing them in a SQLite database on the IBM i. I have a scheduled job on my IBM i that finds the tweets that have the hash tag #IBMChampion. Now we have a few weeks […]
SQLite and a Node API
my previous article, we went through how easy it was to call a Twitter API, searching for a string and storing that tweet in a SQLite database stored on the IBM i using Node.js. Before we get around to analysing the records we have stored over the last month or so, we need a method […]
SQLite – Store Tweets
In my previous article, I revealed how easy it is to use an open source database called SQLite on our IBM i server. If you need a refresher, that article can be found on the link here. In this article, I’ll show you all how easy it is to use this lightweight database. Including it […]
SQLite – What is that?
In this article, I’m going to show you another database option we now have on our IBM i. All these choices! Little did we think we would have any alternative for a database, we expected only to have the excellent DB2 for i. So, what is it? SQLite is a serverless database, self-contained and is […]
Man – Where’s that Manual Gone?
IBM has released quite a few big hitters lately, MariaDB etc., and some of the not so well known utilites have slipped under the cover. Let me take you through one of them in this article. This great utility stops you being told to RTFM (Read the manual)! So this is where this open source […]
RSync – Better than Copy (CP)
In this article, I’ll be taking a look at an open-source utility that doesn’t get as much credit as I feel it should. If you have followed my open-source articles here and at the i-UG user group meetings, you will often have to copy files from one IFS directory to another. Yes you can use […]
Hello Maria!
Hello Maria! – I can’t say that without sounding like Leslie Philips – showing my age again! One of the cutting-edge recent additions from IBM for their Open Source offerings is Maria DB. In my opinion, this is a great addition, and will open the IBM i to even more applications than are readily available […]
Bye Bye NodeVer!
For those of us using Node.js on our IBM i, you are probably aware of an Open Source utility, provided by IBM, called NodeVer (Is that Node Ver? or is it Nod Ever?, I’ll leave it with you to call it whatever you like!). NodeVer was a great utility allowing you to have more than […]
Keep My NodeJS App Running!
In my previous article, we created a quick weather app running on our favourite server. In this article, I will show you how we can ensure this application is always up and running, and if it’s not running, get it to automatically restart.Node applications are different to say, PHP applications, where we have the Apache […]
