  • IBM Looking To Open Up Debugging On IBM i

    June 8, 2022 Alex Woodie

    Things are moving quickly now in the IBM i development world, particularly when it comes to lightweight, Web-based IDEs, such as IBM’s new Merlin. However, the need to debug programs and the lack of a debugger for these IDEs is causing a bit of a roadblock to developer productivity with these newer IDEs. That’s why IBM is seeking a way to get IBM i debugging capabilities into more people’s hands.

    June 8, 2022 Alex Woodie

    The name “Merlin” conjures up an image of a magical place where wizards cast spells against evil spirits and fairies fly through the air. In other words, the exact opposite of the button-down image of business computing that IBM tries its best to exude. That’s what makes the story of how the newest member of the IBM i product lineup got its name so unlikely.

  • IBM i PTF Guide, Volume 24, Number 23

    June 8, 2022 Doug Bidwell

    Welcome to this week’s edition of the IBM i PTF Guide. We start out with a correction to the Technology Refresh tab in the spreadsheet, where the “LIC Resave” values that were for 7.4 TR6 and 7.3 TR12 were based on an IBM site that was itself incorrect.
