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.

• Send, display, and respond to messages
• Use the online help and reference materials
• Monitor and control job queues, active jobs, and output queues
• Create and change user profiles
• Use authorization lists and group profiles
• Start and stop Power Systems with IBM i
• Manage system devices, user display stations, and printers
• Save and restore objects and libraries
• Monitor job and history logs
• Diagnose a system problem
• Order, receive, and install PTFs

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).

Prior to enrolling, IBM Employees must follow their Division/Department processes to obtain approval to attend this public training class. Failure to follow Division/Department approval processes may result in the IBM Employee being personally responsible for the class charges.  

GBS practitioners that use the EViTA system for requesting external training should use that same process for this course. Go to the EViTA site to start this process: https://b25acidbw07.con.can.ibm.com/BCS/BCSVTEnrl.nsf/Billing%20Info?OpenPage

Once you enroll in a GTP class, you will receive a confirmation letter that should show:

• The current GTP list price
• The 20% discounted price available to IBMers. This is the price you will be invoiced for the class.
