IBM, Beta Users Give OS/400 V5R2 High Marks for Stability
by Timothy Prickett Morgan
OS/400 V5R2 became generally available last Friday. Now you can get your hands on it and start putting it to use. A week after the prior release, OS/400 V5R1, started shipping, IBM was on the defensive, fighting criticism that the release was buggy and sometimes unstable. This time, week one has seen nothing but accolades from customers and software vendors who have been beta-testing V5R2. READ MORE >

Are Programmers the Coal Miners of the 21st Century?
by Timothy Prickett Morgan
Maybe it is because it is almost Labor Day and yet another baseball strike was barely averted. Maybe it is because I am an employer on the outskirts of the IT industry watching a storm on the horizon. But I am beginning to think that the dozens of hot-shot, politically connected IT companies, along with the tens of millions of MIS organizations that are their customers, are creating the conditions that make it likely that programmers the world over will start to unionize.

iSeries Access Includes WebSphere Host Publisher
by Carole Miner
iSeries Access (named Client Access until the release of OS/400 V5R2) has delivered PC-to-iSeries connectivity solutions since V3R1. It has most often been used to access iSeries resources, such as its database, printers, file system, 5250 applications, as well as OS/400 screens and commands. iSeries Access also has a history of delivering an array of middleware for programmers who want to develop client/server (PC-to-iSeries) applications. Now the iSeries Access Family has been expanded to include IBM's WebSphere Host Publisher. READ MORE >

Admin Alert: Use Graphical Tools to Tighten OS/400 Security
by Joe Hertvik
One of the challenges for administrators is determining how effective their OS/400 security is. It's difficult for green-screen users to visualize the breadth of their security because they can only view one setting at a time from a 5250 display. Users of iSeries Operations Navigator can graphically view and adjust security settings in groups, and even get recommendations from IBM about how to tighten their system. READ MORE >

As I See It: Death of a Thousand Cuts
by Victor Rozek
At one time or another, we've all been the target of someone's barbed and inventive wit. Perhaps during a staff meeting, or in a classroom, or even within our own family. The setting is usually public, and the comments range from good-natured teasing to hurtful and humiliating remarks masquerading as humor. The workplace is a frequent venue for derision wrapped in friendly banter, and being on the receiving end is like swallowing oatmeal sprinkled with staples. READ MORE >
