iSeries Announcement Roundup
by Timothy Prickett Morgan
Well, it's after Labor Day, and summer is officially over. That must mean that we have entered IBM announcement season. While IBM has often made major OS/400 platform announcements in the fall, the company seems to be saving spring of 2004 for OS/400 V5R3 and whatever iSeries hardware announcements it has in the works. That's not to say that IBM isn't doing anything this September. It is. READ MORE >

Server Sales Rise Slightly in Second Quarter
by Timothy Prickett Morgan
Everybody is looking for a good sign these days that the economy is coming back and that IT spending is on the upswing. While the server market is still cut-throat, according to the latest information from IDC, server spending actually rose for the first time in nine quarters during the second quarter of 2003. Don't get out the champagne just yet, since sales rose only two-tenths of a percent. However, it beat the 1.7 percent decline that IDC was predicting. READ MORE >

I thought our system was secure.
Then I installed StandGuardAudit and StandGuard Anti-Virus. I found 53 users with delete authority, 3,000+ viruses on the IFS, and security policies being bypassed. I knew I had to correct things fast!
I read the FREE white paper "Top Security Issues for the IFS" and got the StandGuard Security Suite. Now all is well.

IBM Serves On-Demand Middleware at U.S. Open
by Timothy Prickett Morgan
IBM will this week use the U.S. Open tennis tournament to showcase a revamped set of server provisioning middleware it acquired in May, when it bought Think Dynamics. The ThinkControl provisioning software is based on the Java 2 Enterprise Edition standard, on Web services standards like Simple Object Access Protocol and Open Grid Services Architecture, and on other standards such as XML and Simple Network Management Protocol, all of which IBM champions. ThinkControl, which is now called Tivoli Intelligent Orchestrator, creates a pool of IT resources that can be allocated to applications dynamically based on policies set by business managers.

Admin Alert: More About WRKSYSSTS
by Joe Hertvik
After last week's column on Alternatives to WRKACTJOB, a lot of readers e-mailed me about the Work with System Activity (WRKSYSACT) command, which I presented in the column. Although most readers were intrigued by WRKSYSACT and what it could do, many were confused because it was nowhere to be found on their OS/400 systems. READ MORE >

As I See It: Attila in the Workplace
by Victor Rozek
I have a friend who works for a local enterprise that owns and manages numerous commercial and residential properties as well as vast tracts of forestland. The company likes to keep a low profile. You won't find it listed in the phone book, and unless you happen to know where they are, the offices are hard to find. They're holed up in the back of a nondescript building, and only a small, discrete sign attests to what lies within. READ MORE >
