• Use OmniFind and JSON_TABLE to

implement linguistic search of IFS

subdirectories


JSON – Behavior Change

• Duplicate Key Behavior (today)

– FORMAT JSON – Duplicate keys within the JSON document are not allowed

– FORMAT BSON – Duplicate keys are allowed

• Duplicate Key Behavior (coming)

– FORMAT JSON – Duplicate keys are allowed, by default

– FORMAT BSON – Duplicate keys are allowed

– WITHOUT UNIQUE KEYS and WITH UNIQUE KEYS clauses are added

values json_object( 'a' value 1, 'a' value 8); -- fails with -16400 today, but is being changed to succeed

values json_object( 'a' value 1, 'a' value 88 with unique keys); -- new syntax that result in an -16400 failure


Rational Developer for i


Rational Developer for i

• Modern

• Integrated

• Analysis

• Debugger

• Visual

• Supports RPG, COBOL, CL, C, C++, SQL, DDM


Rational Developer for i 9.6.0.3

PDM comes to RDi


PDM on Steroids

• Collaboration with Help Systems delivers new value

– Help Systems understands the challenge of moving to RDi from PDM

• Here is an example of the impact of their vision and energy

• Improve ease of transition

– Give new RDI users a view that looks and works exactly like PDM

– Easily transition to additional functions and features of RDi

• Experienced RDi developers will also see productivity improvement from new navigation


PDM Perspective – easy onramp

• Secret to getting started


Simple to get started

• No complex “connection” dialog – just type in the host name


WRKLIBPDM ++


WRKOBJPDM++

• Just like PDM– Type in options

– Filter by library wildcard, object wildcard, type and attribute

– Can subset

• But in addition– Can click on column heading to sort

– Can customize which columns are shown

– Can quick select from history of filters for each field

– Etc. etc.


Rich history mechanism

• Easily move back/forward to previous searches or jump directly via view

menu

Previous / Next / Parent filter


Enter Options - Like PDM

• Enter option 5

• Source it

populated above in

the Editor

• Maintain both PDM

and ‘SEU’ views…

but better


Subset (like F17) – blazing fast – on keystroke basis


Function keys do the same

• F6 – Create new

• F9 - Command line


Any User Command – not just PDM

• User actions with names of any length can

now be invoked

• Not only by context menu but also by Option

column


Quickly Create Filters for RSE

• Once the subset of interest is established, it can be saved as named filter


Loading filters from RSE

• Existing named filters can be loaded from the combo box

• Can work with same filters in RSE or Table

• RSE power users may find the table more productive

• Also handles multiple filter strings


Compare/Merge of members

Two files side by side, compare, update, move one side to the other


Read only to Edit toggle

• Icon in editor tab & status bar on bottom indicate member in browse or edit

• Easy to toggle between edit and browse mode, using either the Ctrl-Shift-G

key or by double clicking the section of the Status bar.

• Hover on status bar & menu item in the Source menu show this capability.

Ctrl-Shift-G


IBM i Access Client Solutions

(ACS)


ACS Version 1.1.8.0

• Generate SQL Objects

– Perfect Order

• Schemas

– Query in Run SQL Scripts

– View Journal Entries…

– Locked Rows

– Locks (Alias/Index/Table/View)

– Transactions

– Index and MQT partition lists

• Run SQL Scripts

– More Insert from Examples

50

Java 8 & Higher !!!


Open Source Package Management

ACS is the primary place for managing IBM i


Java Print Services

• Highest voted RFE - 211 votes

• Java Print Services

– Using the native Java print support

– Replacement for the native windows print support in PCOMM

– Used heavily in Japan

52


Integrated File System - Permissions Updates


Open Source


Announced Open Source deliveries

• Package Manager

• Language updates

• TLS 1.3 support

• The ‘updatedb’ and ‘locate’ tools

• Various GNU tools

• Build toolchain

• lftp

• GNU nano


Package Manager

• A new way to build and distribute open source software: RPM packages

• Installing open source has never been so easy!


Open Source Package Manager

• New distribution mechanism: RPM's ('ibmi' platform)

• Package manager

– Installs/manages OSS packages

• IBM-hosted public RPM repository

INSTALLING OPEN SOURCE IS NOW JUST

DOWNLOADING FROM THE WEB!!!!!!

• Installed software from RPM’s:

– in a new IFS location

– 64bit only

– Independent of AIX RPM’s

– Independent of 5733-OPS


Why is Package Manager important for IBM i?

• Can easily work with IBM i containers

– Allows developers to safely try new technology

• Allows us to deliver more open source technology (build an ecosystem)

• Allows automated build + test


Why is Package Manager important for IBM i?

• Allows faster delivery of security fixes

• Eliminates hard-to-manage cross-option dependencies in OPS

• Install an entire open source ecosystem in a matter of minutes!!

• 5733-OPS no longer needed!!

• Allows more parties to build, support, or distribute open source technology


Language Updates

• Node.js version 8

– Improved Promises support (async/await)

– Greatly-improved performance

– N-API to make native addons more maintainable

– HTTP/2

• Python 3.6

– Formatted string literals (f-strings)

– Underscores in numeric literals

– Asynchronous comprehensions

– Asynchronous generators


TLS 1.3 support

• Available through OpenSSL 1.1.1

• Currently available as draft 18, final version coming

• nginx HTTP server is built against OpenSSL 1.1.1

– Easy to TLS1.3-enable existing applications


The 'updatedb’ and 'locate’ tools

• Shipped in package ‘findutils’

– updatedb updates a database with files found on the filesystem

(often run overnight)

– locate searches that database to give you immediate results


Build toolchain

• GNU Compiler Collection

– Easy to install

• Surrounding tools

– autoconf

– automake

– m4

– GNU make

– patch

– Cmake

• Package Manager Group Definition

– yum group install "Developer Tools"


lftp

• Command-line ftp client

• ….. And so much more!

– Multiple protocols: ftp, http, sftp, fish, torrent

– Job control (run things in background, suspend them, etc)

– Bookmarks

– Built-in support for creating mirrors

– multitasking


GNU nano

• Terminal-based editor

• Supports copy/paste, skip to line number, search with regular expressions,

and more. Can add syntax highlighting:git clone https://github.com/scopatz/nanorc.git ~/.nano

cat ~/.nano/nanorc >> ~/.nanorc

https://github.com/scopatz/nanorc.git ~/.nano


Various other GNU tools

– less

– grep

– ls

– awk

– sed

– find

– patch

– tar

– iconv

– sort

• A bunch more…….

• Shipped in /QOpenSys/pkgs/bin


Delivery update

IBM Cryptographic Device Manager for i

(5733-CY3)

• Prior to March 2018 Cryptographic Device

Manager was only delivered on physical

media

• Starting in March 2018, Cryptographic

Device Manager is also available as

electronic download (once ordered and

entitlement is created) via Entitled System

Support web site (ESS)

– Note that 5733-CY3 must be ordered via

e-config like IBM i and the LPPs for i
