Just so that I (nor you) miss this, here’s a few interesting resources I’m seeing around the AS/400… hmm, iSeries… not ! System i (ouch) world.

The System iNetwork/iNews is celebrating its 25th anniversary and I’m sure they’ll have interesting articles and information in there. In the Podcasts section there’s an interview that Paul Conte made with Frank Soltis.

In The iSeries blog is a reference to an article in IT Jungle called The AS/400 at 19: Predicting the Future–Or Not which I haven’t had to chance to read but I am sure that it’ll be interesting, as always.

I’m sure there will be more information flowing, so instead of updating this post or adding comments, you can follow my iSeries or System_i tags from my bookmarks in del.icio.us by subscribing to any of the feeds.

I just saw a good tip on Chris’ blog, when you’re running important things in the System i do not forget to keep the joblogs in case something goes wrong, because that will help us identify easily where the problem was. And I’m saying this as perhaps the guy who knows more in the world about installing and removing Domino on the System i platform

I prefer the DSPJOBLOG OUTPUT(*PRINT), perhaps because I’m a developer or because I still use the same session for more things.

What I do not suggest is generate a joblog with the SIGNOFF *LIST when you’re removing Domino from your system, due to some functionality of the system I’ve seen “weird” things appear on the joblogs (you know, *MSGF is deleted and joblog is generated/built afterwards).
