  • Power10 Entry Machines: The Power S1012

    May 13, 2024 Timothy Prickett Morgan

    It has taken almost two years to complete the Power10 server set and it has been almost four years since we first wrote about the details of the Power10 processor, but with the launch of the “Bonnell” Power S1012 entry server last week, which will start shipping on June 14, the set is indeed complete. Unless something weird happens, there will be no additional Power Systems servers announced until the Power11 iron starts rolling out sometime in 2025.

    Last week we told you what we knew about the Power S1012, and this week we have gotten our hands on …

  • Database Enhancements Galore In Spring 2024 IBM i TRs

    May 13, 2024 Alex Woodie

    The IBM i server is a database machine at the end of the day, so it’s not surprising that the latest technology refreshes (TRs) focus heavily on enhancements to Db2 for i. From new aggregate functions for the query optimizer to new and improved SQL-based IBM i services, there’s plenty of database goodness to go around in these releases.

    On May 7, IBM announced IBM i 7.5 TR4 and 7.4 TR10. You can read the announcement letters for the two releases here and here. The functionality for the two releases, which will become generally available on June 14, is …

    May 13, 2024 Dan Darnell

    When it comes to programming in a particular programming language there is what you can do and what you can do easily. I use RPG every day and have done so since the System/34 days. I love the language but I’ve also picked up other programming languages over time because sometimes RPG isn’t the right tool for the job.

    I’ve been using IBM EGL – Enterprise Generation Language – to create IBM i applications since 2009. IBM made a push at one time to entice RPG programmers to pick up the language and toolset (Rational Business Developer) for modernization …

  • As I See It: Upgrade Exhaustion

    May 13, 2024 Victor Rozek

    Several decades ago I recall seeing a 60 Minutes episode about an arms transfer (or perhaps it was a sale) of state-of-the-art American fighter jets to Israel. The interviewer traveled to the Middle East to see how Israeli pilots were adapting to the latest in American military technology. After being assured that the jet performed as advertised, the interviewer looked into the cockpit and marveled at all the screens, dials, switches, and gadgetry confronting the pilot. A deluge of supposedly useful information was available to the pilot in real time. But the sheer volume of it seemed daunting. Curious about …

    May 13, 2024 Doug Bidwell

    Well, this week is a little bit lighter when it comes to new security vulnerabilities in the IBM i stack, so that is a good way to start out the next five business days plus the extra that system admins often have to do because weekends are when it is safe to tweak systems.

    On the vulnerability front, we have Security Bulletin: IBM WebSphere Application Server and IBM WebSphere Application Server Liberty are vulnerable to an XML External Entity (XXE) injection vulnerability (CVE-2024-22354), which you can find out more about at this link. Here is the list of affected …
