<div><p>This topic discusses the iSeries™ Navigator and <span class="keyword">i5/OS™</span> command
|
|
line interfaces.</p>
|
|
<div class="section"><p><span class="keyword">i5/OS</span> uses
|
|
two operational interfaces:</p>
|
|
<blockquote><dl><dt class="dlterm">iSeries Navigator</dt>
|
|
<dd><p>iSeries Navigator
|
|
is a Windows-based, fully graphical interface to <span class="keyword">i5/OS</span> operations.
|
|
It is an easy way to perform <span class="keyword">i5/OS</span> operational
|
|
tasks in a well-designed GUI. iSeries Navigator has been designed from
|
|
the ground up to be logical, consistent, and easy to use. Wizards are used
|
|
extensively to make configuration easier. When using iSeries Navigator you do not need to
|
|
remember commands, and you see much more information in the window than on
|
|
a text-based display.</p>
|
|
<p>Most <span class="keyword">i5/OS</span> operational
|
|
tasks can be performed through iSeries Navigator, although there are
|
|
some exceptions such as the command that powers down the iSeries. iSeries Navigator
|
|
is the best choice if you are new to iSeries.</p>
|
|
</dd>
|
|
</dl>
|
|
<dl><dt class="dlterm"><span class="keyword">i5/OS</span> command line</dt>
|
|
<dd><p>The <span class="keyword">i5/OS</span> command
|
|
line is the traditional text-based interface where you can run Command Language
|
|
(CL) commands directly. It is similar in function to the command-line interface
|
|
in Unix, Linux<sup>®</sup>,
|
|
and Windows<sup>®</sup>.
|
|
CL is the scripting language used on iSeries, and you can group CL commands
|
|
together to create a CL program. </p>
|
|
<p>The command-line interface is available
|
|
through a 5250 or green screen session, where the term 5250 refers to the
|
|
text-oriented datastream used, and green screen refers to the default color
|
|
of the characters in the text-based session. The iSeries Access program product provides
|
|
5250 sessions in Windows and in supported browsers. It is also possible
|
|
to access a 5250 session on iSeries using telnet. </p>
|
|
<p>The command-line interface
|
|
can be preferred by experienced iSeries users who know the CL commands,
|
|
because it is faster and more powerful than the graphical interface. It is,
|
|
however, more difficult to use for an inexperienced iSeries user.</p>

|
|
<p>Use the iSeries Navigator graphical interface
|
|
to operate your integrated Linux servers, except where noted. For
|
|
managing integrated Linux servers you will find it much easier to learn
|
|
and navigate your way around compared with the command line.</p>
