Subject: Re: COMMON virtual conference registration
I registered just now. Thanks, guys
July 23 and 24
Don't miss the Virtual Conference, the best way to keep your knowledge
up-to-date without having to leave your office. Better yet, it's free, so it
is training that fits into every budget.
Sessions will cover:
* DB2 Mirror in IBM i 7.4
* Rest APIs for Direct DB2 Access
* Use Cases for Rest APIs
* SQL Service for the System Administrator
* What's New in Security
* What's New in Open Source
* IBM i 7.4 Language Enhancements
* IBM i in the Cloud
* HA and Business Continuity Updates in IBM i 7.4
The current session list is available below.
Note: if you can't attend live, still register as you will have access to
the recordings for 30 days post event.
DB2 Mirror Revealed - Kris Whitney, IBM
In this session, Kris will dive into the latest new technology for IBM i -
Db2 Mirror. He will discuss the value of Continuous Availability and how
this is accomplished on IBM i.
SQL for the Administrator - Scott Forstie, IBM SQL is often thought of as
how you access data from a database. While it does a great job with that
task, SQL is far more versatile. SQL is a language for accessing and
manipulating 'data'. Not just limited to the database. With the many SQL
Services that the IBM i operating system has added over the past years,
these services coupled with SQL provide a great way to access and manage
many aspects of your IBM i. This includes dealing with security as well as
other system management activities. In this session Scott and Tim will be
sharing some of their favorite Services and the SQL to make them sing. This
session is intended to help the non SQL expert add some new options into
their "toolkit."
IBM i in the Cloud - Kris Whitney, IBM
Get the latest information about Cloud technologies for IBM i. Both how to
have IBM i interact in the world of cloud, as well as our current Public
Cloud offerings. This will include both some use cases and ways you operate
IBM i in the Cloud.
REST APIs for Direct DB2 Access - Tim Rowe, IBM Rest APIs are key to the
world these days. IBM i includes a REST services infrastructure and engine
that greatly simplifies the ability to take an existing RPG or COBOL program
(or SRVPGM) and create a running REST interface with a few simple clicks.
Applications have been connecting to ILE apps for a while now. The latest
support now also lets you directly access Db2 for i with a REST API. We will
dive into this New support to help you understand how to build Rest APIs
with only SQL.
Three Options for Addressing Common IBM i Cloud Challenges - Amar Patel &
Dave Wiseman, Connectria Research (and our own anecdotal evidence) suggests
that many of the organizations that rely on IBM Power Systems are having a
hard time ensuring proper governance of their cloud-based resources.
In this webinar, we'll talk about three strategies that can help you:
* Improve cloud governance without increasing headcount.
* Strengthen your cybersecurity perimeter and ensure compliance.
* Ensure consistent application of best practices across divisions,
locations, and cloud environments.
* Quickly assimilate unfamiliar IBM systems after a merger or
acquisition.
* Improve asset utilization and control cloud costs.
Not only will you hear from two of our very best IBM i experts, but we'll
also share several case studies from real customers who have resolved their
challenges with using one or more of these approaches.

Recent RPG Enhancements - Scott Klement, Profound Take a tour of the latest
enhancements in RPG.
AI and Watson in the Real-World - Brendan Kay, Fresche Solutions This
session, which is focused on real-world examples, emphasizes on the business
value derived from AI. After attending this session, IBM i clients will
better understand where and how Watson/AI can be used in their organization.

Exploring Open Source on IBM i - Erwin Earley, Zend by Perforce Open Source
is exploding on the IBM i platform. This workshop provides us a unique
opportunity get up close and personal with open source on the world's best
platform! We will start out by talking about what open source means to the
platform and take a look at setting up the initial open source ecosystem.
From there we will take a look at the containerization capability provided
by the chroot utility and how it can be used to build file-system containers
so that different developers can have different software/package
collections. Once our containers are setup we will then explore the various
open source programming languages including python, node.js, and php and
take a look at how to integrate those languages with Db2 and ILE. Finally we
will take a look at how open source productivity solutions such as
WordPress, Magento, and Drupal can be implemented on the platform. Time has
never been better to take a dive into the Open Source end of the pool.
Will My QZDASOINIT Job Ever End? - Chuck Losinski, HelpSystems Real-time job
monitoring and control in Robot Monitor Your IBM i server performance is
under attack from the outside, getting hammered by user-submitted queries
and external applications, not to mention batch and interactive jobs.
You need to know when system performance degrades (and why) or your
reputation-and potentially your job-could be on the line!
Join this webinar where our experts show you how proactive job monitoring
and notification with Robot Monitor can really save your butt when things go
bad. You'll learn how to:
* Set up monitoring for database requests: QZDASOINIT, QRWTSRVR, etc.
* Bring visibility to SQL requests that are hammering your system
* Watch for long-running jobs and other batch issues that slow
throughput
* Set up notification for jobs consuming too much CPU
* Report on historical job and subsystem performance
* Reduce run priority for offending jobs or hold them automatically
Don't let QZDASOINIT jobs put a stranglehold on system resources while you
fly blind. Get to the bottom of job performance issues faster with Robot
Monitor.

IBM i Security: The Good, the Bad, and the Downright Ugly - Robin Tatam,
HelpSystems Don't miss out on more than a decade's worth of market research
on the security configurations of IBM i servers and the successes and
failures of organizations that run critical applications on them.
HelpSystems has audited thousands of IBM i servers around the world, gaining
extensive, real-world insight into the deployment state of IBM i security
controls.
Learning Objectives:
Join the author of the wildly popular "State of IBM i Security" study for a
recap of eye-opening statistics from the current report. Along with the
results, this session provides review and tips in seven configuration
categories:
* Network-initiated commands & data access
* Server-level security controls
* Profile and password settings
* Administrative capabilities
* Public accessibility to corporate data
* System event auditing
* Virus scanning Learn what steps your own organization must take to
address these continually overlooked and dangerous security
exposures-including some that are often missed by professional auditors!
Speed Dating with Db2 Web Query Date Dimension Table - Doug Mack, IBM In
reporting and Business Intelligence, dates are used it seems like
everywhere. You want a report that is based on some express based on today's
date (like a rolling date report). Or you want to filter the report based on
a date range. Ever want to run a report that excludes HOLIDAYS or WEEKENDS?
But its not always easy, especially for MOST IBM i shops using legacy date
formats like decimal or char(6) with no century indicator. In this session,
we'll show you how powerful date processing is in Db2 Web Query and its
provided date dimension table(s).

Understanding Your High Availability and Disaster Recovery Options - Brian
Nordland, HelpSystems Throughout this session we will discuss the types of
outages, and the technologies available to protect against those types of
outages in order to help you make decisions to map out your HA and DR
journey. This session will give a brief overview of a number of technologies
including:
LPM, Remote Restart, HyperSwap, Full System Replication, IBM VM Recovery
Manager, Logical Replication, PowerHA, and Db2 Mirror.
