  • iSociety Chat: Preparing for the Move to i5/OS V6R1

    September 17, 2007 Timothy Prickett Morgan

    This Wednesday, the iSociety i5/OS and OS/400 community will host a chat that that your programmers and system administrators should probably listen in on if your company has any plans to move to i5/OS V6R1 when it becomes available next year.

    Paul Gotland, the software development engineer from the Rochester Lab who is intimately familiar with the inner workings of the microcode, technology independent machine interface, and compilers of the AS/400, iSeries, and System i servers, will be hosting a fireside chat on the things people have to do to prepare for the move to V6R1. We covered the program conversion issue related to the move to V6R1 a month ago in i5/OS V6R1: The TIMI, It Is A-Changing, but there are undoubtedly questions you have about the issue that only Gotland can answer.

    Anyway, you can participate in the chat at this link; it starts at 12 p.m. central time on September 19. (I will miss the chat because I will be down at the SAP “A1S” launch here in New York.) My advice is to read the related Redpaper on the issue well in advance of the chat, which is in the set of links below, before attending.

    It’s difficult to decide how to evolve an application when its logic, dependencies, and operation are no longer fully understood…

    IBM i applications have often evolved over many years, in response to changing business needs, successive developments, and team changes. Over time, knowledge can become scattered, documentation may become incomplete or obsolete, and certain dependencies may become difficult to identify.

    This loss of visibility complicates decision-making. How can you measure the impact of a change, identify the affected components, or understand an existing business rule?

    In this webinar, discover how DISCOVER enables you to:

    • Perform automated functional mapping of your applications by generating a complete tree structure and visualizing the links between programs, files, modules, and functional domains,
    • Ensure the retro-documentation of your applications by formalizing business rules and functional knowledge in the form of text and diagrams,
    • Analyze databases by identifying relationships between tables, physical and logical files, and then generating the corresponding diagrams,
    • Explore application architecture using interactive diagrams and 3D representations,
    • Graphically compare different versions of the same program to identify changes and analyze their impact.
    • Track a value or variable end to end, from its origin through its transformations and different uses within the application.
