14. IBC233 Review

15. Green Screen

16. Seneca Network (simplified) ZEUS (Power Systems) MATRIX Fire Wall PCs at Home PCs in the Lab

17. Connectivity Software Rational Developer (RDI) Client Access (in the Classrooms and at Home) Mocha (at home) Both are available for download from the CS site. (download text document for instructions)

18. ibm i  Operating System (OS/400)  Object-Based  Everything that takes up space and has a description is an object.  Types of Objects include:  User Profiles –Job Queues –Files –Programs

19. Traditional ibm i Data Storage Hierarchy Library Objects Members contain data - Files only

20. Traditional IBM i Data Storage Hierarchy BERNS - *LIBBAC344LIB - *LIB DA344x99 - *LIB Object1 *PGM Object2 *OUTQ Object3 *FILE QCBLLESRC *FILE PGM1 PGM2 PGM3 DA344x99 *OUTQ QCBLLESRC *FILE PG1 PG2 PGM1 *PGM PGM3 *PGM PG1 *PGM

21. 20 Library Lists Object used to organize data storage. Are different for each student. Are initially set to your default for each session you start (signon). Can be changed uniquely different for each session.

22. Library Lists Each job has an attached Library List Different Types of Libraries: –System: IBM Supplied –Product:Added automatically when an IBM product is used –Current: Defined by an individual user ID User ID’s default Library –User: Non-IBM Supplied Libraries Created by Business to organize programs, files, etc.

23. IBM i finds Objects Qualified Names Library/Object BAC344LIB/QCBLLESRC Using Library Lists! How are Library Lists sequenced?

24. System vs Subsystem System = ZEUS Subsystem is a logical grouping of resources

25. Database

26. Physical Files vs Logical Files

27. CL

28. 27 Definitions

29. 28 OS400  Operating System  Object-Based  Everything that takes up space and has a description is an object.  Types of Objects include:  User Profiles –Job Queues –Files –Programs

30. 29 Integrated File System Libraries Objects Directories Stream Files Objects Folders Documents

31. CL Syntax Command-name (space) parameter

32. Keyword vs Positional Notation Keyword WRKOUTQ OUTQ(PRT01) CRTLIB LIB(MOOGK10) + TEXT(‘Cindys Library’) Positional WRKOUTQ PRT01 CRTLIB MOOGK10 *PROD ‘Cindys Library’

33. 32 Naming of Commands Based on English! Combination of Verb and Noun CRTLIB Library Create

34. CL Syntax Use Menus to find the command Use F11 and Help to find the Syntax

35. Commands that you’ll use? Look at RDI Assignment 1

36. Granting authorities !!
