These iSeries™ books and information center topics contain information you might need.
- ADTS/400:
Data File Utility
provides the application programmer, programmer or help desk aide
with information about the Application Development Tools data file utility
(DFU) to create programs to enter data into files, update files, inquire into
files and run DFU programs. This manual also provides the workstation operator
with activities and material to learn about DFU. - The Backup and recovery topic provides the system programmer with information about the different media available to save and restore system data, as well as a description of how to record changes made to database files and how that information can be used for system recovery and activity report information.
- The CL programming topic provides a wide-ranging discussion of programming topics, including a general discussion of objects and libraries, control language (CL) programming, controlling flow and communicating between programs, working with objects in CL programs, and creating CL programs. Other topics include predefined and immediate messages and message handling, defining and creating user-defined commands and menus, and application testing, including debug mode, breakpoints, traces, and display functions.
- Communications
Management contains information about working with communications status, communications-related
work management topics, communications errors, performance, line speed and
subsystem storage.
- DB2
Universal Database™ for iSeries Query Management Programming provides the
application programmer with information about determining the database files
to be queried for a report, defining a structured query language (SQL) query
definition, and using and writing procedures that use query management commands.
This manual also includes information about how to use the query global variable
support and understanding the relationship between the query management function
of the operating system and the IBM® Query for iSeries.
- The Distributed data management topic provides the application programmer or system programmer with information about remote file processing. It describes how to define a remote file to i5/OS™ distributed data management (DDM), how to create a DDM file, which file utilities are supported through DDM, and the requirements of i5/OS DDM as related to other systems.
- DSNX
Support provides information for configuring an iSeries server to
use the remote management support (distributed host command facility), the
change management support (distributed systems node executive) and the problem
management support (alerts).
- Local
Device Configuration provides the system operator or system administrator with information
about how to do an initial local hardware configuration and how to change
that configuration. It also contains conceptual information for device configuration,
and planning information for device configuration on the 9406, 9404, and 9402
System Units.
- SNA
Distribution Services provides the system programmer or network administrator with information
about configuring a communications network for systems network architecture
distribution services (SNADS) and the Virtual Machine/Multiple Virtual Storage
(VM/MVS) bridge. In addition, object distribution functions, document library
services and system distribution directory services are also discussed.
- ICF
Programming provides the application programmer with the information needed to
write application programs that use iSeries communications
and ICF files. It also contains information about data description specifications
(DDS) keywords, system-supplied formats, return codes, file transfer support,
and programming examples.
- LAN,
Frame-Relay and ATM Support contains information about using an iSeries server in
a token-ring network, an Ethernet network, or bridged network environment.
- Remote
Work Station Support provides information about how to set up and use remote workstation
support, such as display station pass-through, distributed host command facility,
and 3270 remote attachment. It also provides information for the application
programmer or system programmer about configuration commands and defining
lines, controllers, and devices.
- The Security topic provides the system programmer (or someone who is assigned the responsibilities of a security officer) with information about system security concepts, planning for security, and setting up security on the system.
- The SQL programming topic provides the application programmer, programmer, or database administrator with an overview of how to design, write, test and run SQL statements. It also describes interactive Structured Query Language (SQL).
- The SQL reference topic provides the application programmer, programmer, or database administrator with detailed information about SQL statements and their parameters.
- X.25
Network Support contains information about using iSeries servers
in an X.25 network.
