  • The State Of The IBM i Base 2022: Third Party Software Conundrum

    April 11, 2022 Timothy Prickett Morgan

    Aside from death, most problems are not intractable. But people surely can be, and sometimes are. But luckily not often, and the thing about people is that, generally speaking, they can be reasonable when they are reasoned with. It is with all of this in mind that we come to the next in the State of IBM i Base stories for 2022, where we want to talk about the software trap that the remaining OS/400, i5/OS, and some IBM i shops have gotten themselves into and how we might help them get out of it to the mutual benefit of …

  • Thoroughly Modern: Improving The Digital Experience With APIs

    April 11, 2022 Marcel Sarrasin

    The world is an ever-changing place, and that means there is always something new that needs to be done to either improve applications running on the IBM i platform or to integrate them with other applications or interfaces on new kinds of devices. This is an important aspect of modernization, and one that often bridges the back-end databases and applications and the front-end interfaces through which end users access those applications – both of which need to be modernized, and often independently.

    This is made possible by having application programming interfaces, or APIs, and if IBM i customers have tens …

  • Guru: Debugging SQL Stored Procedures With ACS

    April 11, 2022 Mike Larsen

    I use Access Client Solutions (ACS) daily to help with different tasks. I’m usually running SQL scripts or working with the IFS, but recently I was asked if there was a way to debug SQL stored procedures using ACS. More specifically, they were looking for a way that a “non-IBM i” person can debug SQL stored procedures on IBM i.

    After browsing the various menus in Run SQL Scripts in ACS, I found a system debugger. I had seen the system debugger before, but never took the time to explore it further. With this new request in mind, I decided …

  • Cloud-Based Stock Optimization Solution Integrates With IBM i

    April 11, 2022 Alex Woodie

    Since COVID-19 struck two years ago, we have seemingly jumped from one supply chain problem to another. First, it was toilet paper and cleaning supplies that were flying off the shelves, then it was shortages of anything with a microchip. The shortage du jour: baby formula. Now a Georgia company called Thrive Technologies is using machine learning technology to help distributors stay on top of supply chain disruptions.

    Thrive Technologies has been developing inventory planning solutions since it was founded in 2001 by CEO Rick Morris. The company says it picks up the inventory slack where ERP solutions typically …

  • Reader Feedback On State Of The IBM i Base, IBM i Salaries

    April 11, 2022 Timothy Prickett Morgan

    Hey, TPM:

    I have been enjoying your series on the state of the IBM i environment. Those and other recent IT Jungle articles have helped me better understand some of the things that I am seeing as a training vendor.

    As you and I have often discussed, the IBM i market has divided into two groups: the roughly 30,000 active customers and 120,000 others. My company, Manta Technologies, has customers among both groups.

    As a former math professor, I tend to think in Venn diagrams. I had to fight the urge to pull out the colored pencils when I read …
