IBM i Console Best Practices
Wednesday May 21, 2025 8:00am - 9:00am PDT
Room 13
The IBM i restricted state (DSP01) Console environment is an oft neglected part of System Administration/Management.  Many things allow systems to run months or even years with out needing to connect this system Console.  Then, when it is absolutely necessary to have this level of access for a system upgrade, hardware replacement, etc and the environment isn't correctly configured or is completely unknown significant delays are likely increasing a system outage.

In this session we will go over the configuration and usage best practices for both the HMC and LAN Console environments.

Technical Debt: It's Wise to Decustomize
Wednesday May 21, 2025 9:15am - 10:15am PDT
Room 13
One of the riskiest and potentially destructive forms of Technical Debt involves the customization of source code in licensed third party applications.  Back in the day, we called them "mods" - all those little customizations to vendor supplied RPG and CL programs to cater to user requests.  Eventually, they can cripple your line of business applications and your ability to keep them at supported levels.  Join us as we explore methods to use better programming practice to reduce if not completely eliminate mods, while still being able to provide the value adds your business needs.
