As the display resolution of out workstations becomes larger, this is a really useful change that allows the 5250 session to scale up to fill the entire screen without wasting valuable screen space. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57daa442b3db2bce99079ef5/1b784177-fcd4-4e38-8110-1cd32cfe5c26/Webinar+2.png ACS Configuring ACS Part 2- Restricting Functionality In this short "how to" video we take a look at how to add and remove functionality from an ACS client that is already installed on your PC. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57daa442b3db2bce99079ef5/e5733149-d79c-459b-a001-772abd5311a0/Webinar+11.png ACS Configuring ACS Part 11 - Printer Emulation In this session we look at how you can setup an IBM i Printer using ACS Printer Emulation. This allows anyone with an ACS session to pull spool files from their IBM i and push them out using a locally connected Windows Printer. This is ideal for user VPN'd in from home or for users who want to print from IBM i to a USB connected printer. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57daa442b3db2bce99079ef5/2714c0ea-a752-41f3-9eb5-971122960ed3/Webinar+4.png ACS Configuring ACS Part 4 - Import/Export Configurations In this short video, we look at how to import and export the configuration within the ACS client. There is a huge amount of work you can put into configuring IBM ACS, so make sure you don't lose that work and also make sure that you don't repeat that work unnecessarily. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57daa442b3db2bce99079ef5/eb9b1c45-66d9-4abc-8ece-8d55d44be1b7/Webinar+9.png ACS Configuring ACS Part 9 - Changing Workstation ID DEVD In this session we look at how to change the value used for Workstation ID, IBM i 5250 Device Description & IBM i Interactive Job Name (they are the same thing). We show how to avoid having to create individual HOD files for each new name, we look at basing names on a specific character string and also basing in on the User Name you logged into you workstation with, or indeed the user you logged into you workstation with (Windows, Linux, MacOS user) Finally, we look at getting the label name on the session to match this Workstation ID. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57daa442b3db2bce99079ef5/a2f85ce3-e002-4454-9f7c-44af3c4ebbf6/Webinar+17.png ACS Configuring ACS Part 17 - Geospatial Analytics Geospatial Analytics in Db2 for i certainly seems to be a hot topic at all the conferences I'm attending at the moment. So, when I saw that Sir Scott of Forstie had added an example to Run SQL Scripts in the ACS 1.1.9.2 I thought it was worth a quick video to demonstrate this cool new function! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57daa442b3db2bce99079ef5/1c144fdf-bdb3-4ea8-ba33-eb473be78c17/Webinar+14.png ACS Configuring ACS Part 14 - Auto Save Run SQL Scripts From ACS 1.1.9.1 onwards there is an option to Auto Save your work in the Run SQL Scripts. It is NOT on by default but is easy to enable. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57daa442b3db2bce99079ef5/8ee67625-1f31-47df-91df-1cbd066fc2e3/Webinar+7.png ACS Configuring ACS Part 7 - Custom Console Task Links A hidden gem for SysAdmins was introduced in ACS 1.1.9, it is the ability to customise the name of two console links. This may not sound like much but when you have many systems to manage and some of the links you use do not fit the standard IBM descriptions, then this is truly useful. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57daa442b3db2bce99079ef5/5b815b9e-405e-4235-a237-51a127ae959f/Webinar+18.png ACS Configuring ACS Part 18 - Prompting for Variables in Run SQL Scripts In ACS version 1.1.9.2 IBM added the ability to prompt for variables in a Run SQL Script. This is particularly useful when you are giving these scripts to users who are not so proficient in editing SQL but you do want them to be influence the data set that is returned. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57daa442b3db2bce99079ef5/c0d57868-987a-4bda-84ff-cab49f5fe5c7/Webinar+12.png ACS Configuring ACS Part 12 - Updating Java Runtime Starting from ACS version 1.1.9.1 you can now use the check for updates function to update your Java Runtime as well as your version of ACS In this video, I walk you through the process of enabling and using this update function. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57daa442b3db2bce99079ef5/c4d7edfa-f823-4ddc-9a38-961106b53048/Webinar+15.png ACS Configuring ACS Part 15 - Move Cursor to End of Paste If you use the paste function in the 5250 command line, this small configuration change can make a big difference. But default when you paste a string into the 5250 command line, the cursor does not move, this video shows you how to get the cursor to move with the pasted text. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57daa442b3db2bce99079ef5/8f9f8b9e-98bb-4810-b674-f96f3ea3ba83/Webinar+16.png ACS Configuring ACS Part 16 - Uploading Save Files from PC to IBM i Using the ACS Integrated File System (IFS) option is a better, more intuitive method of transferring save files to and from IBM i and your PC. This video shows you how easy it is to both upload and download a save file or indeed another file. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57daa442b3db2bce99079ef5/76f728f6-04aa-4c90-a6bc-864d099892fd/Webinar+3.png ACS Configuring ACS Part 3 - System Groups One of the cool new functions introduced in ACS v1.1.9 is called System Groups. As the name suggests, this allows you to logically group your IBM i Systems in Groups, this is great for those people who look after a larger number of #IBMi systems. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57daa442b3db2bce99079ef5/5e06410a-e159-4f7a-a1ab-68a80bfc580b/Webinar+6.png ACS Configuring ACS Part 6 - SSH Terminal In this video, we look at how to enable this hidden option and configure it to use PuTTY as the SSH Terminal emulator. ACS has a hidden option to enable an SSH Terminal to call up against any of your systems, just as you would any other part of ACS. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57daa442b3db2bce99079ef5/23b883cd-8a84-4c5e-8eca-311af5587f2c/Configuring+IBM+ACS+%282%29.png ACS How To Configure ACS - Access Client Solutions Looking beyond installation, we drill down into configuring ACS https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57daa442b3db2bce99079ef5/053ccae2-eadb-43ee-895e-9c5ae98ed49e/Installing+IBM+ACS+.png ACS How To Install ACS - Access Client Solutions Steve Bradshaw takes a look at IBM ACS- the latest offering for Access client solutions, this has been around for sometime yet many of us are still using the older methods https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57daa442b3db2bce99079ef5/e9026102-caa2-4a3b-8449-6147edef8a3b/Webinar+13.png ACS Configuring ACS Part 13 - Bypass Signon If you want to reduce the number of times you have to enter your signon credentials, it is possible to enable the 5250 Bypass Signon Function. It is not enough to enable it in ACS, you also have to set the QRMTSIGN system value. In this video, we run through configuring both elements to enable this feature. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57daa442b3db2bce99079ef5/9cf7cbb8-033d-4d90-9794-d3b3b31c6e8c/Webinar+8.png ACS Configuring ACS Part 8 - Updates and Roll Backs In this video we look at how to upgrade ACS the automated updater, the manual method using an internet download and how to roll back an update if you decide you don't want to keep it. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57daa442b3db2bce99079ef5/da82ca60-e7ff-4936-9b13-90be1e7be1ac/Webinar+5.png ACS Configuring ACS part 5 - Configuring HMC Console The HMC Console comes in two parts, the 5250 Command Line and also the HMC GUI, in this video we look at the right and the wrong way to configure them. https://www.rowtonit.com/webinars/ibm-i daily 0.75 2022-07-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57daa442b3db2bce99079ef5/d36a42f2-c02b-4285-bad4-aedbbdeb873e/Brad+Talks+1.png IBM i Beta Testing IBM i 7.5 Interview with Alison Buterill May 18th for a webcast featuring IBM Champions Steve Bradshaw and Aaron Magid as well as IBM i Product Manager Alison Butterill to learn about their experience with the newly released IBM i 7.5 and Merlin https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57daa442b3db2bce99079ef5/85b7f8c2-453a-4792-bcb2-fbc178b02c47/Say+Hello+to+the+new+navigator+for+i+.png IBM i Say Hello To The New Navigator For i - Steve Bradshaw (Rowton IT) For over a year IBM has been working away in the background creating a brand new version of their Navigator for i (#IBMi #NewNav) System Administration interface. Whether or not your day job involves SysAdmin tasks you are going to want to take a look at this redesign, it is exemplar for what an interface should be like on today's IBM i. It's not just a pretty face, this ground up redesign is super fast as well as super intuitive. IBM has delivered a blueprint showing you just what you can do with IBM i and I can't wait to show it to you. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57daa442b3db2bce99079ef5/1616409059575-O2631UNC75G9USL08WFE/What%27s+all+the+fuss+about+NMVe..PNG IBM i What’s All The Fuss About NVME ? There is no doubt that there has been a lot of hype about NVMe over the last year. In this session we take a look at whether this is justified. Without getting too technical, we will explain the evolution of storage in IBM i and highlight the pros and cons of some of the key points in this journey. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57daa442b3db2bce99079ef5/6f079c2c-7340-4624-a935-36d3ed966c47/Brad+Talks+2.png IBM i Things i Love About IBM i 7.5 In this video , Steve Bradshaw gives you a rundown of some of the new features that I personally love in IBMi 7.5 . Some of these new functions are big, some small but all are beneficial. Even if you are not in a position to upgrade to IBM i 7.5 right now, many have been PTF'd back to 7.4 and some 7.3 so they are still worth knowing about. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57daa442b3db2bce99079ef5/1612197567180-PK4F9QA7AEKWMV92LBSJ/introducing-ibm-i-services-webinar IBM i An Introduction to IBM i Services IBM i Services are perhaps the best kept secret of managing and monitoring IBM i. Relatively few users of our favourite platform know what they are and even fewer use them regularly. This is a crying shame as they are truly remarkable. IBM i Services can tell you in seconds what it takes a skilled system operator minutes or even hours to discover. http://powerwire.eu/are-ibm-i-services-the-future-of-systems-management https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57daa442b3db2bce99079ef5/87af8be9-3c77-49d7-812d-af17ac7e15fa/IBM+i+High.png IBM i Introduction to IBM i Part 1 Are you new to IBM i and looking for a good place to start learning?
