Audience
This course is intended for those responsible for daily system operations.
It is not intended for technical audiences who are seeking an in-depth look at how the Power System with IBM i works. This audience should instead attend the IBM i Programming Facilities Workshop - OL49G.
Prerequisites
There are no prerequisites for this course.
Duration
4 days. Hands on.
Course Objectives
This course enables new system operators to develop basic to intermediate level skills needed for day-to-day operations of the Power System with IBM i.
Hands-on exercises reinforce the lecture topics and prepare delegates to successfully operate a Power System with IBM i.
The course teaches delegates how to perform all of these functions using a 5250 emulation session as well as System i Navigator and IBMNavigator for i:
- Use the online help and references.
- Send, display and reply to messages.
- Monitor and control jobs, devices and job and output queues.
- Start and stop the system.
- Create and change user profiles.
- Use authorization lists and group profiles.
- Manage system configuration.
- Save and restore objects, libraries and the system.
- Monitor job and history logs.
- Diagnose a system problem.
- Order, receive and apply PTFs.
