When does class start/end?
Classes begin promptly at 9:00 am, and typically end at 5:00 pm.
This introductory 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. Focus is given to using the GUI (IBM i Access Client Solutions and IBM Navigator for i) as well as 5250 emulation sessions to perform tasks including job control, monitoring, sending messages, managing systems devices, and more. Hands-on exercises reinforce the lecture topics and prepare the student to successfully operate a Power System with IBM i.
Skills Gained
- 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 --> this could be the replacement for Manage system devices, user display stations, and printers
- 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
Who Can Benefit
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 course.

This course filled in a lot of gaps in my working knowledge of the IBM i. I wish I had taken it years ago.
Peter A. is a wealth of knowledge. He addressed a few questions that I had specific to my environment but also relevant to the topic at hand. Very helpful.
Even though we took a lot of time in lab , the trainer Joao gave us enough time for us to practice lab and extended our training hours for next so that we dont miss any topic of the course should be really appreciated.
Peter was wonderful! He's an excellent instructor with a wealth of knowledge who made me feel comfortable and always made himself available. I can't speak highly enough about Peter and I hope to get him as my instructor in the next class!
Peter was solid. Knowledgeable about the course content and was able to provide some insight in questions students had relating to their work life.
