Prerequisites: |
PC & AS/400 literate | ||
| Audience: | MIS Directors, Programmers, AS/400 PC Support Users & Implementers | ||
| Duration: | 1 day | ||
Modeled from Brian Kelly's Midrange Computing book AS/400 Data Warehousing, this course defines data-warehousing in terms of AS/400 Implementation. It is designed to help the AS/400 Implementor define a useable end-user database structure for ad-hoc decision support functions. Data Warehousing is an umbrella term which covers many tools. In most organizations, end-user access projects are unsuccessful or are at-best limited successes. Data Warehousing techniques can stage your organization for a successful implementation Is end user computing successful in your organization? Or do you find that your database definitions just are not conducive to normal user access. Do you find that you must teach your end-users third normal form techniques for them to understand their data enough to gain access to it?. Have you ever wondered why many of your users find solutions in primitive PC database products and your super duper AS/400 can't seem to do the job? This course answers this question plain and simple and offers several design approaches to providing end-user access to necessary company data. Upon completing this course, you will be more prepared to implement a successful data warehouse using the AS/400.

Prerequisites: |
None | ||
| Audience: | Internet/Intranet Implementers | ||
| Duration: | Half a day | ||
This course sets the stage for building a successful Intranet/Internet infrastructure. It operates under the premise that nothing good, including your very own web server or WWW server does not just happen! The Web is another MIS project. It must be treated like another project using some familiar methods, such as the Traditional System Development Life Cycle (SDLC). With SDLC - DB is Key. Well tuned DB is necessary for live Internet/intranet access. Prototyping Fits DB reengineering best. What should be done when needed Web Data is not in Production DB? What are the 30+ Planning Steps for building a sound infrastructure. This session discusses Inter/intranet Benefits and Considerations, User Support, Scaling-- # of users, Business Needs, Speed Of Delivery, leveraging desktops, front-ending current applications, forms of management...central or distributed management. What about PC Software Distribution, intranet Desktop management, Client/server complexities, Internet skills needed, AS/400 Capacity & Performance, Infrastructure Capacity / Performance, Dial-In Clients, Fat Client / Thin Client .. A Matter of perspective. This session then provides an The Implementation "Short" List! To help you plan a successful installation.

| AS585 | Choosing your Internet Service Provider - What do you really need? |
||
Prerequisites: |
None | ||
| Audience: | Internet/Intranet Implementers | ||
| Duration: | Half a day | ||
This course starts by telling You that YOU need a PC to select an ISP! You get that for free in this abstract. It also discusses the MIS Department Role w/ PCs along with a 1-2-3 Approach To Internet Access. A number of methods for finding an Internet Service Provider (ISP) are presented including using THELIST to find an ISP, with or without using the Internet. To understand what to expects, we present descriptions of typical ISP services and special services such as advertising, web page development, web hosting etc. We'll offer some thoughts on how to decide whether to keep your Internet service provider or not and we discuss the criteria you should use for Choosing Providers. From here we discuss how to connecting your dial PC to an ISP. We give a number of examples including a Local Dial / Leased ISP Example. We also take a look at Internet PC Software issues including TCP/IP PC software stacks / packages. Since dial does not typically help an AS/400 shop, we look at other WAN connection methodologies such as ISDN, Cable, Frame Relay, and various forms of DSL, such as ADSL. We examine the issues of a dedicated connection such as speed and other gotchas. We outline what equipment you will need - router, CSU/DSU, etc. and how best to get these. We also assume the student has little knowledge of the Internet as we introduce Internet startup considerations including domain names, IP Addresses, name serving. We give some tips so that you know when you are actually running fine. And with all good planning sessions, we give you a to-do checklist to help assure your arrival.

NW201 or AS520 & AS/400 literate | ||
| Audience: | Mail Implementers | ||
| Duration: | Half a day | ||
This course is designed to teach you the capabilities of your AS/400 as a Mail Server. Mail Serving is not just the specialty of the PC LAN Server today... ever since IBM's announcements of the AnyMail Framework way back in 1994. In fact, if IBM has its way with the AS/400, it will be a principal mail server in days to come. The visible signs today of IBM's seriousness about mail is the AnyMail Framework which is designed to allow enabling of any mail system to interface with AS/400 Mail boxes as well as the integration of Lotus MAIL (Advanced Mail + Groupware products ), OV/400 , and MAPI support for mail platforms such as Microsoft Exchange clients, without the need for the NT Exchange server. The support is in the Mail framework. Learn what to make of these exciting new capabilities and how to begin to use them in your organization. Learn how to configure the new, free POP3 and SMTP server facilities for Internet/intranet mail serving.

None | ||
| Audience: | AS/400 IS Managers and Selected IS Staff Members | ||
| Duration: | Half a day | ||
This course presents IBM's August 1997 and February 1998 hardware and software announcements from the model 600 hardware set to the new SXX server models to the NT killer 170 Invader series. The next step must be the home AS/400s In the twenty-five years which I have been working in this industry, I have never seen so much new. Everything is new. There are completely new big RISC AS/400s - the 6XX and SXX series and the completely new & powerful little guys - the Invader 170s. There are newer, bigger, less expensive disk drives and tape drives. There are two new operating system versions (V4R1, V4R2), There is a newly enhanced, fully functional DB2/400 database with a substantial increase in functionality and performance staged for high capacity data warehousing.. There is a bona-fide non-shared folder grease lightening LAN Server capability that is nothing short of marvelous. And there are some new announcements regarding LAN products which will function on the inboard PC server (IPCS formerly FSIOP) There are a number of new file systems to let the AS/400 run blazing fast as a PC server or run Unix applications. There is a TCP/IP suite and associated programs and some terrific Internet enhancements which make the AS/400 a great candidate for accessing the current Information Superhighway - the Internet. On top of the reasonably new free mail system that can handle any client and any type of mail object - voice, video, etc., there is the Domino Server with its new brand of mail functionality. And, of course there is lots more... like a new Visual Age for RPG and JAVA -- made better still in February, 1998 and getting better in the Fall. THE VARPG is made from the same compiler which runs on the AS/400. And there is another change -- a retreat from user based pricing and a new service arrangement. You'll be reading forever trying to figure out what's new by yourself. Come to our AS/400 Version 4.1, 4.2 Release Update and save yourself the effort. You'll also get some tips on how to install this exciting new version.

| AS720 | Dealing with the Year 2000 Time Bomb - A Sound Methodology | ||
Prerequisites: |
None | ||
| Audience: | Executives, Decision Makers, IS Managers, Selected IS Staff Members & Users | ||
| Duration: | 1 day | ||
This course deals with the millennium time-bomb. The approach of the year 2000 has created an atmosphere of frenzy in Worldwide business circles. This potential crisis has been nicknamed Y2K by the trade press and its implications are onerous. The investment in Y2K projects over the next several years is expected to be well over $500 billion. Expected litigation is being estimated at pushing this figure to $2.0 trillion No business or institution is immune from its effects. Because of the potential for a Year 2000 crisis, everybody, with and without computers must begin to address, if not resolve, this problem as soon as possible. The seriousness of Y2K even goes beyond being prepared. Even organizations that have spent fortunes on compliance are not completely assured their efforts are successful until the Year 2000 actually arrives since there will be some "bugs" that do not surface until "The Day". The Securities and Exchange Commission, with deep concern for the viability of corporate entities after year 2000, offers this unsettling warning: "It is not, and will not, be possible for any single entity or collective enterprise to represent that it has achieved complete Year 2000 compliance and thus to guarantee its remediation efforts. The problem is simply too complex for such a claim to have legitimacy. Efforts to solve Year 2000 problems are best described as "risk mitigation."" More than the Year 2000 issue itself, I believe that the
biggest problems facing business and government today is that most are either unaware of
its implications, are in a state of denial, or are waiting for a silver bullet to clip the
problem before it has an impact. Unfortunately, there is no silver bullet, and there is no
solution other than hard work. And to make matters worse, the Year 2000 will arrive on
schedule in not much more than 600 days from now. The first tool we will examine in any detail will be
ANZUSROBJ: We'll show you the value of IBM's free Analyze User Objects command for
Source/Object checks, how to get it, how use it, and what to expect from it. From here we
will get a little more sophisticated and examine the SEARCH2000 tool. This is another
powerful IBM Y2K tool which can help provide the information you need for determining the
extent of your conversion task for your applications. Maybe the job is so big you can't
get it done if you started last year. We'll show you what it does, why you want it, how to
get it, how to use it, and what to expect from it We also examine BYPASS2000. If
SEARCH2000 thinks you can't do the job, BYPASS2000 may provide some relief. It is a work
saving tool that can assist you in performing tasks, including code conversion, that
otherwise would have to be done manually We'll show you what it does and what will be left
over for you. We'll show you what it does, why you want / don't want it, how to get it,
and what to expect from it!
