As the landscape of programming continues to evolve, many of us IBM i developers find ourselves exploring a diverse array of languages beyond those with which we began our coding journey.As more and more of us get involved with different languages I thought it would be a good idea to give a guide to other […]
Generating PDFs
Those of you that took a look at my updating of open source packages on IBM I, will know that I have always been one for recommending the convertions of Spool files to PDFs when ever possible. My open source updating article can be found here https://powerwire.eu/open-source-updates/ This article created a spool file of all […]
RPG Data-Gen Operational Code
Looking back at when I first started writing articles for PowerWire.eu nine years ago, I was bought onboard to cover RPG articles. Looking back over the last few years I have failed miserably in this task and maybe got too carried away in the ‘open-source’ frenzy. In this anniversary month for the IBM i we […]
Eclipse AI Chat Integration
My good friends at Remain Software have just released an AI chat integration feature for Eclipse and Rational Developer for i . According to their website, ‘This tool leverages the power of AI to provide contextual suggestions, code snippets, bug checking and documentation proposals. Empowering you to write code faster and more efficiently.’ Yes, it […]
Environment Variables
The IBM i operating system is highly dependent on environmental variables, which can have a significant impact on its performance. In this article, we will dive into the various environmental variables and their effects on the IBM i. What are environment variables? Let me start at the beginning, what are environment variables? Environment variables allow […]
DB2 for i Multisystem
In this article I will be taking a look at a feature we should all be installing, and using, on our IBM i servers. As I mentioned in a recent article I wrote on the advance job scheduler (which can be found here), IBM announced in May 2022 that half a dozen previously chargeable licensed […]
Node-RED & Security
I gave a quick demonstration of Node-RED to a client recently and I didn’t get the response I was expecting. On bringing up the Node-RED browser interface, the first question I got asked was why doesn’t Node-RED use a TLS (Transport Layer Security), or SSL (Secure Socket Layer), connection to the server. Great question, I’m […]
Node-RED & Bank Holidays
In a recent training course I gave to a UK bank, we were covering web-services and I showed how we can get information from a reliable source and then store it in our database. They informed me that they still manually input UK Bank Holidays into a table. This was a task that they had […]
Node-RED & IBM i
In my last article I wrote about the hoops we had to jump through to get the DB2 for i Node-RED adapter installed. In this article, we will be taking a look at how we use that adapter and also how we can run IBM i commands from within our Node-RED flows. All very useful. […]
Node-RED & DB2 for i Connector
I know I said in my last article that was the end of my little project on the Raspberry Pi with Machine Learning talking to the IBM i. Well since my last piece I have found how to correct a couple of the moans I had with Node-RED on the IBM i. My last article […]
