AS24: System Operator Workshop for IBM i
DURATION: 4 days
SCHEDULED DATES: TBD – Contact Us for more Information
PURPOSE
This course enables a new system operator to develop basic to intermediate level skills needed for day-to-day operations of the Power System with IBM i. Specifically, the course explains how to:
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
Perform all of these functions using a 5250 emulation session as well as IBM i Access Client Solutions and IBM Navigator for i
Hands-on exercises reinforce the lecture topics and prepare the student to successfully operate a Power System with IBM i.
AUDIENCE
This course is intended for the person who has responsibility 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 Technical Introduction (OL4AG).
PREREQUISITES
There are no prerequisites for this class.
