Three reasons to look at INZTAP in a different light
The use of tape with IBM i is still truly ubiquitous, and yet virtually no one pays any attention to the way that the tapes are prepared. Whether we are taking about GDPR secure data wipes, backup data integrity or identifying backup time, then INZTAP is a great tool to have in your tool kit. […]
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 […]
More fun with Ansible for IBM i Messing about with Ansible for i modules
In this article I decided to make use of a number of the Ansible for i modules to demonstrate their use for more usual day to day CL related tasks. A word of warning before I start.

Whilst that is mildly useful I wanted to write about something slightly more complex and, arguably, more useful. The ibmi_fix_imgclg module allows you […]

IBM has recently announced a new version of the POWER9 scale out servers, these are the entry level servers that make up the P05, P10 and P20 Process Group ranges. If you’ve been paying attention to the past server announcements, you would be excused for assuming this was a POWER9+ as IBM did with the […]
Forgetting to recompile – check your dates
Something I mentioned on twitter a little while ago, I had a problem where someone had changed a source member but not recompiled it. As it happens they took out a line of code that the customer was quite keen on, so when 10+ years later the next poor sap came to amend the program […]
