The RPG & DB2 Summit in Minneapolis showcased an array of delicious tidbits and I\u2019m not just talking about this spread of desserts!\u00a0 The schedule of events featured great speakers and great topics, to include Ian Jarmen at the opening session all the way to Susan Gantner on working with RSE\/RDI\/RDP (or whatever acronym you\u2019d like to call it).<\/p>\n
As a vendor with a table display in the exposition, I found the attendees to be interested and excited about the new enhancements IBM continues to make with the IBM i operating system.\u00a0 With the launch of IBM i 7.1 TR7 next month, developers are anticipating the opportunity to work with free format RPG.\u00a0 With this, the migration from SEU to RDI seems to be picking up speed.\u00a0 So of course, our programmer utilities, namely DBU,\u00a0 needs to be seamlessly integrated with the RDI environment to make our customer\u2019s lives easier.\u00a0 Our tech team continues to work on this functionality and will roll-out a solution!<\/p>\n
SQL is also steamrolling on the System i.\u00a0 Classes like \u2018Demystifying SQL joins\u2019 and \u2018Embedded SQL-Beyond the Basics\u2019 seemed well-attended by some of my visitors.\u00a0 Once they saw our SQL Audit offering, the brochure flew out of my booth!\u00a0 It really will help their SQL experience, as the before and after effect of their SQL statements against the actual data are logged and can be analyzed.\u00a0 Now they need to get out to our website and download that product & play with it for 30 days while it\u2019s all fresh in their minds.<\/p>\n
Once again, our trip to the Summit made for a wonderful (and delicious) trip!\u00a0 It\u2019s time to get back to work and burn a few of those tasty calories!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
