In this 2009 update of one of MC Press Online's most popular ever articles, learn how you too can have amazing superpowers.  By Greg Hintermeister When I was young, I used to fantasize about having superpowers. Even after I had learned the laws of physics, I still yearned for the abilities to fly, to become invisible, and to travel through time. After becoming a systems management professional, I had to accept reality and put away my dreams of wielding superpowers. |

Getting System i Access for Web up and running in your business isn't hard. Here's how!  By Linda Hirsch
System i Access for Web enables users to access their IBM i resources and applications through a browser interface. Users can upload PC data to DB2 for IBM i, query and download database information, start a 5250 interface, work with printer output, and more. The product is running entirely on your IBM i. The only requirement on the desktop is a browser, and no applets are running in the browser. Therefore, the product has lots of appeal for administrators: best of all, you don't have to deal with the installation and maintenance of client desktop software. The product can be used from any desktop or device that has a browser, so your users with mobile devices or Mac, Linux, or other operating systems can get at IBM i resources through the Web interface. |

Tune SQL performance using the System i Navigator's GUI. By Jarek Miszczyk The graphical interface used to manage all aspects of System i operations has recently quite dramatically evolved. In addition to the traditional Windows client, you now have the ability to perform most of the tasks through a Web browser. Although System i Access for Web has quite impressive functionality, certain areas are still best served by the "traditional" Windows-based client. As of V6R1, professionals who are charged with DB2 administration will probably continue to rely on the rich functionality provided by the System i Navigator for Windows when it comes to DB2 management and performance tuning. |

Data volumes grow constantly, even when business is slow. Keeping storage and processing optimized today can save your skin when business booms.  By Chris Thomas Editor's note: This article provides a summary insight into the 12-page, 5000-word whitepaper System i Optimization Best Practices. The full white paper can be accessed for free by clicking here. One of the most frustrating aspects of managing systems is the natural yet unfair lack of connection between business volumes and your workload. When economies drag and sales sag, businesses universally look for places to clip budgets. |

Without knowing how much storage is being used, where it is used, and who is using it, IT cannot effectively allocate storage resources. By Sean Derrington Managing storage resources has never been more challenging or critical. After all, storage is growing at an estimated 60 percent or more annually for the average company, even as storage utilization rates remain at an alarmingly low 30 to 40 percent. At the same time, storage resources are often spread across multiple geographic sites as well as virtual environments, making end-to-end visibility difficult. |

Many System i shops unduly defer critical optimization functions because the tasks are complex and time-consuming. Automation can help. By Andy Kowalski Back in the early days of what was then called AS/400, when people said they had a 10 gigabyte machine, they were referring to DASD. Today, they are referring to system memory. The point is that this is not your father's AS/400 (or iSeries or System i), and the changes that have occurred have serious implications for system management and optimization. |
