Power Systems VUG

Replay from Oct. 31, 2019 Power Systems Virtual User Group webinar.

Replay from the Power Systems Virtual User Group webinar on Sept. 26, 2019 covering IBM's VM Recovery Manager.

21st Aug 2019 Speaker: Tim Rowe, Business Architect Application Development & Systems Management for IBM i Abstract: Rest APIs are key to the world these days. IBM i includes a REST services infrastructure and engine that greatly simplifies the ability to take an existing RPG or COBOL program (or SRVPGM) and create a running REST interface with a few simple clicks. Applications have been connecting to ILE apps for a while now. The latest support now also lets you directly access Db2 for i with a REST API. We will dive into this New support (via demos) to help you understand how to build Rest APIs with only SQL. Relevant for IBM i environments.

Replay from the July 31, 2019 Power Systems Virtual User Group webinar covering IBM i 7.4.

***Note*** For the first couple of minutes, there is audio only and then slides follow. 24th Jul 2019 Speakers: S Ashok (Cognitive Systems Management) & Jose Paez (Offering Manager) Many companies are adopting or considering cloud, and IBM has some great technologies for creating an on-premise cloud and for managing the cloud (both on-premise and public). Available now is the ability to run AIX and IBM i workloads on Power Systems in IBM Cloud (IBM's public cloud). In this session, S. Ashok and Jose Paez will give a short intro covering the what, why, how and pricing structure. This will be followed by a technical demo walk-through of some typical use cases. They will show you how to get started, create a VM (LPAR), change resources being consumed and more. They will also highlight considerations for licensing, backup, HA, managing/monitoring/maintenance and support.

Replay for Power Systems Virtual User Group webinar held January 17, 2019 covering IBM Cloud Private.

Replay from December 13, 2018 Power Systems VUG webinar, covering PowerVC.

5th Dec 2018 Speaker: Ross Cruickshank, Developer Advocate, Developer Ecosystems and Startups, IBM Digital Business Group Abstract: Hybrid cloud services are click away with Node-RED . This session will demonstrate the new RPM-based process for installing open source packages - development tools and other packages. With the availability of Node.js, the hugely popular flow-based programming tool Node-RED can be installed into IBMi PASE, bringing with it the ecosystem-developed packages ("nodes") that enable easy access to AI, IoT, cloud storage, and a vast range of API-based services. With a few simple flows, Node-RED can integrate image capture and classification with Watson Visual Recognition, Power AIVision, and third party image classifiers like Microsoft Azure Computer Vision. A chatbot interface can be included to guide the process using Watson Assistant. Node-RED can also exploit local services - IFS, DB2i and IBMi utilities and services - to create a rich mix of data and process. And finally, build a local API abstraction over these external functions, to present to ILE applications, with little or no coding.
