System i Developers and .NET 2.0: ASP.NET and the Declarative Programming Model
by Michael Sansoterra

IBM's AS/400 platform (now called the System i) boasts a wonderful history of almost 20 years. Those faithful to the platform well know its strengths and the ingenuity IBM has put into the box, which have allowed it to be successful for so long. That being said, it is no secret that many System i shops maintain legacy applications using old tools.

Admin Alert: When APPN Prevents You from Changing Network Attributes
by Joe Hertvik

The system wouldn't take the change and I found that it was because I needed to temporarily vary off my partition's Advanced Peer-to-Peer Network (APPN) controllers to complete the process. Here's what happened and what I learned about how APPN can affect network attribute changes. READ MORE >
