September 1, 2020 by Andy Youens 1 Comment

Back to Node.js on IBM i for this one! In this article, we will be creating a quick weather app running on our favourite server. Once we have this up and running, in the next couple of articles we will be enhancing it to integrate with our existing applications already running on the IBM i. […]

Using Ansible with IBM i to install PTFs

August 17, 2020 by Glenn Robinson Leave a Comment

In my previous article I introduced you to using the ibm.power_ibmi Ansible collection from IBM. I showed how to connect to your IBM i LPAR and vary on and off a device. 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 […]

POWER 9 G Models

August 4, 2020 by Steve Bradshaw Leave a Comment

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

July 31, 2020 by David Shears Leave a Comment

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 […]

A screen a story – it is in the details

July 31, 2020 by Rudi van Helvoirt Leave a Comment

A good quiz question for this article could have been: “When was the Index Advisor introduced?”. When searching the Internet I could find information going back to V3R6, which was released back in 1995. I think it is fair to say, we have all heard about it, but unfortunately we can not say that of […]

Still continuing my theme of having a break from Node.js. This time we are looking at the new Microsoft Windows Terminal, also known as WT. And what a great product it is. We will be taking a look at how to use the new Microsoft Windows Terminal to automatically connect to the IBM i for […]

Ansible automation for IBM i

July 24, 2020 by Glenn Robinson 1 Comment

It’s been a few years since I last put together an article, but I’ve still remained involved with Power systems and IBM storage, specifically around VIOS and Spectrum Virtualize (Storwize). It is fair to say that the landscape is changing rapidly in IT with software driven technologies, cloud and devops. An age-old IT tenet is […]

Protecting against user enumeration in IBM i

July 7, 2020 by Steve Bradshaw 1 Comment

I was discussing an RFE (Request For Enhancement) with some CEAC colleagues the other day. A request has been made for IBM to formally address the ability to Enumerate User Profiles on IBM i. Now, user enumeration is not something you hear a lot about in the IBM i world yet by default it is […]

DB2 for i – Services

June 30, 2020 by Andy Youens 2 Comments

This month we are going to have a break from node.js – I can hear the cheers from here! This time we are going to look at my favourite DB2 for i services. So, good place to start, what are DB2 services? They are SQL views, procedures and functions that give us access to system […]

In today’s world screen get bigger and bigger, resulting in screen resolutions following that trend. The highest I have seen so far is 3360 x 2100, but I to end there. Working with IBM i Access Clients Solutions, it annoyed me that the 5250 looked as show below: What is the use of setting 5250 […]
