  • New Power Systems Redbooks, And A Call For Residency Volunteers

    April 2, 2012 Timothy Prickett Morgan

    If you are looking for the latest technical dope on the Power7-based Power Systems servers, then you will be happy to know that IBM has just updated its Redbook and Redpaper technical library to include new technologies announced last fall.

    Here’s a list of the latest Power Systems Redpapers, which came out on March 22:

    • IBM Power 710 and 730 Technical Overview and Introduction PDF
    • IBM Power 720 and 740 Technical Overview and Introduction PDF
    • IBM Power 770 and 780 Technical Overview and Introduction PDF
    • IBM Power 770 and 780 Technical Overview and Introduction PDF
    • IBM Power 795 Technical Overview and Introduction PDF

    Yup, the Power 750 is missing and that is because it wasn’t tweaked in any way recently. But just to complete the set, here’s the Power 750 and 755 Technical Overview and Introduction PDF, which was updated last August.

    There’s also an interesting draft of a Redbook on PowerVM Virtualization Managing and Monitoring PDF you might find useful if you are using PowerVM and Virtual I/O Server in your shop. IBM says it is an extension of an earlier PowerVM manual. There is also a set of BlueGene/Q supercomputer Redpaper drafts, and one, on BlueGene/Q Safety Considerations just says in about a zillion different ways in many different languages, “Really, just don’t touch it, don’t move it, and don’t lift anything. Really.”

    If you are looking to do a Redpaper Residency and help Big Blue put together some future Redpapers, there’s three you might find interesting for later this year. The first is a PowerVM Best Practices Redpaper that IBM is looking for six techies to participate in from April 30 through May 25. Then there’s the residency to create the DB2 Web Query for i Implementation Guide, which runs from June 4 through 29 and requires seven volunteers. Finally, and perhaps most interestingly, there the IBM i Technical Overview Update residency, which needs six volunteers and runs from September 17 through October 12.

    I guess there’s a Technical Refresh a-coming in the fall, eh?

    Get More Out of Your IBM i

    With soaring costs, operational data is more critical than ever. IBM shops need faster, easier ways to distribute IBM applications-based data to users more efficiently, no matter where they are.

    The Problem:

    For Users, IBM Data Can Be Difficult to Get To

    IBM Applications generate reports as spooled files, originally designed to be printed. Often those reports are packed together with so much data it makes them difficult to read. Add to that hardcopy is a pain to distribute. User-friendly formats like Excel and PDF are better, offering sorting, searching, and easy portability but getting IBM reports into these formats can be tricky without the right tools.

    The Solution:

    IBM i Reports can easily be converted to easy to read and share formats like Excel and PDF and Delivered by Email

    Converting IBM i, iSeries, and AS400 reports into Excel and PDF is now a lot easier with SpoolFlex software by DRV Tech.  If you or your users are still doing this manually, think how much time is wasted dragging and reformatting to make a report readable. How much time would be saved if they were automatically formatted correctly and delivered to one or multiple recipients.

    SpoolFlex converts spooled files to Excel and PDF, automatically emailing them, and saving copies to network shared folders. SpoolFlex converts complex reports to Excel, removing unwanted headers, splitting large reports out for individual recipients, and delivering to users whether they are at the office or working from home.

    Watch our 2-minute video and see DRV’s powerful SpoolFlex software can solve your file conversion challenges.
