IBM i Advanced Interactive Work Management.

Session Abstract:

As systems drop their hard wired 'Twinax' devices, controlling interactive system use has become more and more a problem. With POWER7 system dropping twinax altogether, the only method to gain 5250 access to the system is via Telnet. And yet have even more power to run many applications on a single system image each with differing requirements for backups and maintenance. How can the users of these systems be controlled in a flexible manner that keeps them informed about the system state yet keeps them out of what is not currently available?

In this session we will learn advanced work management techniques that will help you control when and in what subsystems interactive users may work.

We'll learn how to keep their batch work out of interactive systems and how to keep them informed via the signon screen.

You will be given access to all the code to use on your own system.

Learning Objectives:

Build interactive subsystems.

Create routing programs which direct users to the proper subsystem, or keep them off.

Stop those nasty programmers from running jobs in interactive subsystems.

Customize the Sign-On screen for dynamic updates.

Audience:

IBM i System administrators with Interactive ('Green Screen') Users
