by Dan Burger

If you think IBM DB2 database modernization is a time-consuming, money-gobbling adventure into the unknown, you're right.

MPG Launches Web Interface for IBM i Performance Metrics
by Alex Woodie

The IBM i server performance experts at Midrange Performance Group have created a new product that displays key IBM i performance metrics such as CPU, disk, and memory consumption in a graphical user interface. Called EXPO (short for Executive Performance Overview), the new offering uses color-coded graphics to quickly show managers how their IBM i server is running, and allows them to drill down into more detailed performance data to get to the root of potential problems.

ASNA

ASNA Wings™ is the fastest, easiest way to create a modern user interface for
RPG programs.

 

Wings transforms green-screen display files to modern browser pages. Because Wings uses IBM's Rational Open Access RPG Edition, program logic and file IO remain on the System i.

 

No big upfront design or analysis is required and Wings can be learned very quickly. Unlike screen scrapers, all of the display file data is presented to Wings, so there are many ways to further customize the presentation layer.
