Editorial Review:

Linux on the Mainframe explains why Linux can be a perfect fit for a mainframe and how companies can leverage Linux for business advantage. Learn how to reduce IT costs, consolidate servers, and reduce the complexity of your IT infrastructure. Understand Linux on the mainframe basics, whether you are a decision maker or involved in the technical implementation of this solution. Includes an in-depth introduction to the latest developments, trends and technologies around Linux on the mainframe. Two sample companies illustrate how the mainframe supports virtualization, server consolidation and how Linux benefits from mainframe strength like hardware availability or software capabilities for dynamic resource allocation. Examples of middleware and tools that can be used with Linux on the mainframe also are detailed. Linux creator Linus Torvalds said in a keynote address (Feb 2, 2000, LinuxWorld) that he was surprised by the appearance of Linux on an S/390 mainframe and wound up using Linux on a mainframe as an example of the wide and growing commercial acceptance of Linux. "This is not something I envisioned back when I started. I did not envision that a year ago," he said.Notes - see page 3 for an expanded Author Expertise section. LOTM referenced below stands for Linux on the mainframe.

Amazing 4 out of 5 stars.
2 of 3 people found this review helpful.

The authors have dealt with every aspect of the AS/400 and have succeeded in making the book a valuable resource for anyone who wants to get a detailed overview about the system

Editorial Review:

This updated guide to the iServer and AS/400 world provides an overview and comprehensive reference to the latest models, options, disk storage equipment, printers, tape drives, software enhancements, Lotus Domino, displays, network stations, and much more. It addresses such business issues as lease versus purchase, maintenance strategies, cost justification, and office ergonomics. It also includes hypothetical case studies of small, medium, and large businesses to illustrate how real business problems can be solved with iSeries and AS/400 systems. Nontechnical readers will appreciate its straightforward style.

Editorial Review:

Application Program Interfaces (APIs) are powerful, built-in tools used to solve business problems. Many System i programmers, however, do not have a working knowledge of the APIs available within i5/OS. Worse still, programmers who are familiar with the use of APIs may not be taking full advantage of the APIs and processing techniques available to them.



In this book, author and noted IBM API expert Bruce Vining is your guide to making sense, and effectively mastering, the wide variety of APIs available with System i. Each chapter is full of real business-world examples that you can modify and use in your own environment.



In recent years, the business programmer has had to integrate applications—often from different operating systems and programming platforms—using different languages to integrate business rules and requirements. APIs allow you to gain access to the underlying structure of an application. With this book you will soon realize that APIs are among the most powerful tools in your toolbox.



New for this edition:



• New chapters covering topics such as exit point concepts, Integrated File System, date and time, cryptographic services, TCP/IP, and more



• Sorting, character data conversion, and user application information



• APIs are covered in depth



• Fully updated code on previous APIs to bring them up to newer standards



• Updates to API changes since the previous edition



• Modernized RPG code to demonstrate current coding style



• An Appendix with COBOL examples and implementation including API equivalents for RPG support of memory management, bit testing, edit words, and more



• Check Your Knowledge tasks at the conclusion of each chapter with solutions provided in RPG and COBOL Write client and server applications that enable your System i to communicate



with other systems, such as PCs, using sockets

Not very Informative - Introduction is right 2 out of 5 stars.
4 of 4 people found this review helpful.

I am currently using this book in class and I believe it's rather useless. First off, the book is only 175 pages long not including the contents and index pages and that isn't anywhere near enough space to cover AS/400 Operations to any detail. Some of the questions in the back of each chapter are fine and the book covers a lot of topics but on a whole, this book just doesn't give enough information. Just one example is WRKJOBSCDE ( Work with Job Schedule Entries which is in Chapter 4 ). They give you a little paragraph and a screen shot of the AS/400. All in all, I am very disappointed with this book and I'm going to buy a different book like " Understanding AS/400 System Operations " by Mike Dawson.

Editorial Review:

Take a leap towards becoming a successful AS/400 system administrator with the newest edition of this textbook. Whether you know the basics or want to refresh your memory, Introduction to AS/400 System Operations, Second Edition, is for you. This book takes you through sign-on, user profiles, objects, libraries, folder, and queues. The authors also provide instruction through common tasks such as working with printers and printer output, configuring and managing devices such as lines, controllers, and PCs, and performing backups and installing PTFs. Finally, the book takes the reader through a typical day, week, and month of operations on an AS/400. The newest edition of this textbook has been modified to reflect the changes to OS/400 through V4R3, with new material covering Operations Navigator, changing printer output, the Integrated File System and connecting optical drives and PCs, and much more.

Best reference for SQL 5 out of 5 stars.
3 of 3 people found this review helpful.

This book is the perfect book for you if you are writing SQL on the AS/400 or using a ODBC/JDBC to submit SQL to the AS/400. It contains all the little-used gems that make your job easier. In addition, it shows both the common and uncommon uses of SQL in clear, practical examples you can easily repeat.
It's organized so that a programmer under the gun can easily find what they need and get on with the project. In my opinion, it is "THE" essential reference for SQL on the AS/400.

Editorial Review:

This is THE book to teach you SQL on the iSeries and AS/400 platform. Howard will take you from the beginning to the end with information for beginners and experts alike. Best of all, the book comes with a CD that has all of the sample data and queries used in the book, plus a FREE copy of SQLThing that you can use to work through the examples in the book so you learn by doing. You will learn and understand how to:

Create SQL statements

How SQL is implemented on the AS/400

Tune for performance

Deal with legacy issues

Take advantage of new features available only in SQL

Write complex aggregate queries

Write stored procedures
