2021 IBM i Marketplace Survey Results

IBM i is one of technology’s best-kept secrets, but even it has not escaped the unprecedented change and challenges of last year.

The seventh annual IBM i Marketplace Survey provides a close look at what IBM i users are doing on this platform—and how COVID-19 has impacted them.

Join this live webinar where we reveal the results of the 2021 survey. You’ll also gain exclusive insights on year-over-year trends and new data points, including:

• What are the biggest challenges presented by Covid-19 and a remote workforce?
• Are more organizations adopting IBM i in the cloud?
• Will cost reductions, cybersecurity, or HA/DR top the list of most pressing IT concerns?
• What does the IBM i development scene look like?
• Are shops expanding their IBM i usage?
• How does IBM i’s ROI compare to other servers?

Journaling for Db2 and IFS on IBM i

From its humble beginning journaling local database changes to physical files on the System/38, IBM i journaling technology has evolved to include SQL tables, the integrated file system (IFS), and even remote journaling. In fact, many IT teams have been using IBM i journaling technology for audits, replication, problem determination, removal of bad updates, and high availability for years!

During this live webinar, the IBM i expert Tom Huntington from HelpSystems help you get a better understand of how journaling works. You’ll learn:

• How to start journaling of PF/SQL Tables/DTAQ/DTAARA/IFS
• Why before and after images are important
• How to use apply and remove journal changes
• What remote journaling is
• How to maintain journals

Whether you’re new to journaling or have been running it for years, this session is worth your time.
