    As you are well aware by now, Big Blue is in the middle of changing from perpetual licensing plus Software Maintenance for the IBM i stack to subscription pricing that includes licensing and tech support for the software all in one annual subscription. And this is happening at the same time that IBM has raised software prices and maintenance prices for that software across the board, which we will report on separately, and the company has said that it will withdraw new perpetual software license software sales for IBM i on its Power Systems line on May 27.

    Amid the torrent of news that Amazon Web Services unveiled at its re:Invent show four months ago was RDS for Db2, a new hosted relational data service based on IBM’s database. Amazon Web Services offers the Linux, Unix, and Windows (LUW) variant of Db2, but thanks to a new connector unveiled by Precisely last week, IBM i and mainframe shops have a way to replicate their data into it.

    April 8, 2024 Doug Bidwell

    Three is the magic number, as we all know. This week, there is another trio of vulnerabilities in parts of the IBM i software stack. And all three currently supported IBM i releases all have a slew of group patches as well. Let’s start with the vulnerabilities because these are always important to know about and deal with.

    First, we have Security Bulletin: IBM WebSphere Application Server Liberty is vulnerable to cross-site scripting (CVE-2024-27270), which you can find out more about at this link. The affected products include IBM WebSphere Application Server Liberty, versions 23.0.0.3 through 24.0.0.3 – who …
