DRV Brings More Automation to IBM i Message Monitoring

June 22, 2022 Alex Woodie

Automation is the name of the game in IT today, particularly with the talent shortage gripping the industry and remote work becoming the norm. To that end, a new release of a message management solution from DRV Technologies that will enable IBM i shops to automate their responses to IBM i messages will likely be well received.

DRV Technologies develops a series of handy utilities for the IBM i server, including spool management and distribution (SpoolFlex), a forms management tool (FormFlex), secure MICR check printing (SecureChex), a database query and report writing tool (DBXFlex), and MessageFlex, a message monitoring solution. …

It’s been said that no one needs a vacation as much as the person who just had one. Catching up after a vacation is not an easy task. I have just returned from two weeks on the road and my To Do list is two miles long as I struggle to catch up and offer apologies for missed and delayed emails. Still, it is important to make time for family and things other than work, so I will happily get my desk and inbox back in order. And since I have had my fun, let’s get back in the groove …

June 22, 2022 Doug Bidwell

It is beginning to feel a bit a bit like Groundhog Day at the IBM i PTF Guide. Yet more security vulnerabilities are surfacing in the IBM i platform. While the number of new security bulletins for IBM i is nowhere near what we see with Windows Server and Linux platforms, it has become a constant game of Whack-a-mole. So get out your rubber mallet and get the Aspercreme ready to fight tendonitis. . . .
