New Tip Sheet for RDE and WDSc Programmers Arrives

March 10, 2009 Dan Burger

An expanded version of tips and techniques for users of IBM‘s Remote System Explorer (RSE) and WebSphere Development Studio (WDSc) is available from System i Developer (SiD), the group of IBM i development experts who are also the organizers of the RPG & DB2 Summit. The quick reference guide, Favorite Keyboard Shortcuts for RSE (WDSC/RDi), contains 46 keyboard shortcuts and presents them on a single page. The flip side includes tips on customizing RSE that improve productivity. All of the shortcuts and tips work with Version 7 of RSE in both WDSc and the RDi development environment.

System i Developer’s Susan Gantner originally compiled the list of keyboard shortcuts as a teaching aid for students in her RSE courses. Positive feedback from students encouraged her to offer the guide to a wider audience via the System i Developer Web site.

With this release, the guide now offers 10 new keyboard shortcuts, including how to open and close context menus without using a mouse; how to make use of a split screen in the source editor to have two views of the same source member; and how to navigate to specific spots within your code, such as the top or bottom of the source or to/from subroutines and subprocedures. These new shortcuts join 36 previous favorites, including how to open, close, verify, and compile source members more efficiently.

Developers can download the reference guide for free at System I Developer’s Web site. Additional tips and FAQs for WDSc and RDi users, such as how to create split-screen editing for two different source members and how to use the Outline View, can also be found in the download section of the System i Developer Web site.

In addition to Gantner, the System i Developer team includes Jon Paris, Paul Tuohy, and Skip Marchesani. The next RPG & DB2 Summit is scheduled for April 15 through 17 in Orlando, Florida. For more info, check out www.systemideveloper.com.

CYBER-ATTACKS ON THE RISE. PROTECT WITH THE TRIPLE PLAY.

COVID-19 has not only caused a global pandemic, but has sparked a “cyber pandemic” as well.

“Cybersecurity experts predict that in 2021, there will be a cyber-attack incident every 11 seconds. This is nearly twice what it was in 2019 (every 19 seconds), and four times the rate five years ago (every 40 seconds in 2016). It is expected that cybercrime will cost the global economy $6.1 trillion annually, making it the third-largest economy in the world, right behind those of the United States and China.”¹

Protecting an organization’s data is not a single-faceted approach, and companies need to do everything they can to both proactively prevent an attempted attack and reactively respond to a successful attack.

UCG Technologies’ VAULT400 subscription defends IBM i and Intel systems against cyber-attacks through comprehensive protection with the Triple Play Protection – Cloud Backup, DRaaS, & Enterprise Cybersecurity Training.

Cyber-attacks become more sophisticated every day. The dramatic rise of the remote workforce has accelerated this trend as cyber criminals aggressively target company employees with online social engineering attacks. It is crucial that employees have proper training on what NOT to click on. Cyber threats and social engineering are constantly evolving and UCG’s Enterprise Cybersecurity Training (powered by KnowBe4) is designed to educate employees on the current cutting-edge cyber-attacks and how to reduce and eliminate them.

A company is only as strong as its weakest link and prevention is just part of the story. Organizations need to have a quick response and actionable plan to implement should their data become compromised. This is the role of cloud backup and disaster-recovery-as-a-service (DRaaS).

Data is a company’s most valuable asset. UCG’s VAULT400 Cloud Backup provides 256-bit encrypted backups to two (2) remote locations for safe retrieval should a cyber-attack occur. This is a necessary component of any protection strategy. Whether a single click on a malicious link brings down the Windows environment or an infected SQL server feeds the IBM i, once the data is compromised, there is no going back unless you have your data readily available.

Recovery is not a trivial task, especially when you factor in the time sensitive nature of restoring from an active attack. This leads to the third play of the Triple Play Protection – DRaaS. Companies have myriad concerns once an attack is realized and a managed service disaster recovery allows employees to keep focus on running the business in a crisis state.

The combination of training employees with secure backup and disaster recovery offers companies the best chance at avoiding financial disruption in an age of stronger, more frequent cyber-attacks.

Reach out to UCG Technologies to discuss your company’s security needs and develop a data protection plan that fits you best.
