Monday September 23, 2024 10:45 - 11:45 CEST
Saltsjöqvarn
This session will discuss some of the advanced topics in using BRMS for your back up and recovery. Featured topics will be tape and library management, BRMS Networking,  control group and list controls, BRMS Policies and how they affect the overall operation of BRMS, and using SQL to manage BRMS. Recovering from a BRMS back up can be extremely easy, but it can also present some opportunities for trouble. This session will discuss some of the landmines in a BRMS recovery and how to avoid them.

How Healthy is your IBM i?
Monday September 23, 2024 12:00 - 13:00 CEST
Saltsjöqvarn
We all know our favourite system is a tough cookie, it soldiers on day in day out with little support from us but how can you actually tell howhealthy it really is?
In this session, we run you through a series of simple ideas that you can take away and try on your system. They will not only help you quickly gauge the current health of your system but also allow you to track changes in behaviour and help you to detect changes early and plan your future needs with confidence. In most cases we find that following these simple steps will not only improve the performance of your server but extend it's working life and reduce the need for upgrades.

IBM i Services the Future of Systems Management
Monday September 23, 2024 15:15 - 16:15 CEST
Skansen
For too long IBM i Services were the best-kept secret of managing and monitoring IBM i. Relatively few users of our favourite platform know what they are and even fewer use them regularly. This is a crying shame as they are truly remarkable. IBM i Services can tell you in seconds what it takes a skilled system operator minutes or even hours to discover.
This session is designed to give an introduction to IBM i Services, show you how to use them and share some examples of just how useful they can be.   The session includes dozens of examples of services that you can start to use on your systems today.

Solliden
In this award-winning session, be prepared to hear Scott Forstie and Carol Woodbury shake up the world of IBM i Security, mixing up new SQL concoctions to bedazzle the otherwise boring world of IBM i Security.

Want to remove *ALLOBJ from a service account but afraid you'll break something?   Can't determine where a user's authority to access a production file is coming from?  Don't know how much authority is required to access files in the IFS?   All of these questions can be answered using Authority Collection - a powerful feature added in V7R3 and enhanced in V7R4.  During this session, Carol Woodbury will demo Authority Collection and provide you with practical ways you can use it in your organization.
