System Operator Workshop for IBM i

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 System i Navigator and IBMNavigator for i Hands-on exercises reinforce the lecture topics and prepare the student to successfully operate a Power System with IBM i.

Training Paths that reference this course are:

End User

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 Programming Facilities Workshop, (OL490).
