  • IBM i PTF Guide, Volume 23, Number 32

    August 11, 2021 Doug Bidwell

    Another day, another security vulnerability in an enterprise software stack. This one is not in an open source software package, or Windows Server, but in the Hardware Management Console, or HMC, for high-end Power Systems servers. Specifically, you need to be aware of Security Bulletin: Vulnerability in bind used by Power Hardware Management Console (HMC).(CVE-2021-25215), which you can read at this link.

    Here is the rundown of PTF Groups by IBM i release level:

    PTF Groups 7.4:

    • IBM HTTP Server for i

    PTF Groups 7.3:

    • IBM HTTP Server for i

    PTF Groups 7.2:

    • IBM HTTP Server for i

    PTF Groups 7.1:

    • Nothing going on, as usual

    New (or Updated) Links for this week:

    • JAVA: IBM SDK, Java Technology Edition

    TL Ashford writes software to generate Barcode Labels and Forms for the IBM i.

    Our software products are the most feature-rich, cost-effective solutions available!

    TLAForms converts traditional IBM i spool files into high quality, professional forms that are output as PDF documents. A form is associated with a spool file and the form is designed. TLAForms then ‘watches’ the IBM i output queue for a new spool file to be generated. When a new spool file is generated, TLAForms reads the data from the spool file, places the data on the form, and outputs a PDF document. The PDF documents can be archived to the IFS, automatically emailed, and printed.

    Features:

    • Select Data directly from an IBM i Spool File
    • Burst IBM i Spool Files based on page or Spool File data
    • Add spool file data to form as Text using a wide variety of fonts and colors (the MICR font for printing checks is included in the software)
    • Add spool file data to form as bar code – including 2-dimensional bar codes PDF-417 and QRCode
    • Configure SQL statements to retrieve and use IBM i File data on forms
    • Utilize Actions to show or hide objects on the form based on data within the spool file
    • Import Color Graphics
    • Use Color Overlays
    • Create Tables
    • Forms can be archived to the IFS
    • Forms can be emailed automatically
    • Forms can be printed to any IBM i, Network or Windows printer
    • Forms are automatically generated when a new spool file is generated in the IBM i output queue
    • NO PROGRAMMING required
    • On-Line Video Training Library
