- Sundry IBM Tape Subsystem Announcements – IT Jungleon 2024-03-18 at 04:52
IBM has been shipping tape drives and tape libraries based on LTO-9 tape cartridge technology for nearly three years, which is why we think it is odd that last week we saw that the TS2290 machine now has a feature code to attach to IBM i or OS/400 systems. In announcement letter AD24-0463, which is pretty terse as these things go, we see that there is a new feature code 9400 for the TS2290 tape drive, also known as the 3580 Model H9S.
- The Time Is Now To Get A GenAI Strategyby Timothy Prickett Morgan on 2024-03-18 at 04:06
I was born a little less than a year after IBM launched its venerable System/360 mainframe platform, arguably the first information technology platform ever created and sold at scale. I graduated from college six months after the AS/400 was launched and was the founding editor of this newsletter you are now reading a little more than a year after Silverlake came to market and showed what a real platform could look like. I was present during the Unix revolution, the client/server revolution, the commercial Internet revolution, and the big data revolutions, and I was absolutely at the forefront of commercial … The post The Time Is Now To Get A GenAI Strategy appeared first on IT Jungle.
- Yet More Announcements On IBM i Software Subscriptionsby Timothy Prickett Morgan on 2024-03-18 at 04:06
In the past two years, Big Blue has done of lot of things to repackage the IBM i software stack, and even its entry Power Systems machinery, to be consistent with the modern world of utility pricing for IT systems. Many are not thrilled by this, of course, and not just because they are resistant to change. While IBM is bundling in many features and add-ons to the stack for free as it shifts to subscriptions, the core IBM i subscriptions are without question more expensive than buying a perpetual license and paying Software Maintenance over a five, six, or … The post Yet More Announcements On IBM i Software Subscriptions appeared first on IT Jungle.
- Raz-Lee Adds Zero-Trust Features To IBM i Firewallby Alex Woodie on 2024-03-18 at 04:06
IBM i shops that are looking to implement a zero-trust security posture in their IBM i systems may want to check out Raz-Lee Security. The software company has added micro-segmentation capability to its iSecurity Firewall product, giving IBM i shops another level of control over their networks. Zero-trust is one of the more promising methods to secure an internal network these days, as it requires users to be authenticated, authorized, and continuously validated before being granted access to internal applications or data. It has been widely adopted in corporate networks as one aspect of a strong defense, particularly in Windows … The post Raz-Lee Adds Zero-Trust Features To IBM i Firewall appeared first on IT Jungle.

- Remote 5250 emulation using a ‘thin-client’!by IBM Museum on 2024-03-16 at 05:45
Ahead of setting up a site-to-site VPN between my studio and home (where my AS/400 is), I thought I would attempt to use a ‘thin-client’ (on the stream, I can define what a “thin-client” is, and show some examples with 5250 emulation capabilities) to ‘green-screen’ remotely. Come along, and we will have some fun!
- Semi-Noob reading dumpsby danielharner on 2024-03-15 at 15:51
I’ve been a RPG programmer for about 2 years (obviously still very new), one of the main concepts I haven’t caught onto very well is reading dumps. There just seems to be so much noise and I’m learning on my own as I go (thrown into the fire as they say). It’s much easier for me to learn through debug but if the error occurs in production, this isn’t always possible in our system. I’m looking for tips on what to look for and techniques when reading a dump similar to this one below. Am I missing where it’s telling me the EXACT field the error is getting thrown on? This error came up yesterday after the trigger PGM has been working for a year without issue and unfortunately I’d have to interfere with production to throw it into debug… Link to dump: https://codeshare.io/Ekok7P submitted by /u/danielharner[link][comments]

- Node.js on IBM i: Vexing Versionson 2024-03-13 at 00:13
I recommend that you install Node.js on whatever your “local” machine is because it is pretty convenient and is just drop-dead simple to deploy to IBM i whenever you need to “smoke test” an app in the IBM i world. Unlike http, express is not included with the base Node.js modules, so you’ll need to use npm to install it.
