QlikView Saved Candle Maker Millions
by Alex Woodie
Blyth HomeScents International (BHI), a manufacturer of candles and other scented items, faced an IT challenge when it merged two divisions. While both organizations had used the iSeries, they ran different ERP programs--one used BPCS, while the other ran Movex--and each system has its own set of reports, written in RPG and Query/400.

Help/Systems Opens SNMP Flow in Robot/TRAPPER
by Alex Woodie
When Help/Systems debuted its simple network management protocol (SNMP) product, Robot/TRAPPER, about four years ago, the product offered the capability to gather and route messages from non-iSeries systems to an OS/400 server, where management decisions could be made. With the latest release of the product, Help/Systems has reversed this flow, and now enables users to gather and route SNMP messages from iSeries servers so users can manage them from enterprise systems management tools running on Unix and Windows boxes.

Reader Feedback and Insights
CORRECTION: The article "MBS Technologies Provides Storage Options for Content Manager Users" in last week's issue erroneously labeled MBS Technologies' Randy Dufault as the president of the company. Dufault holds the title of government practice principal at MBS Technologies. Dave Fetters is the company owner and president. IT Jungle regrets the error.
We value your feedback and insights. Feel free to send a letter to the editor. Letters may be printed, unless otherwise specified, and edited for clarity or length. READ MORE >
