A Power Day of iSeries Access Technology
With Linda Hirsch from IBM Rochester

This one-day seminar explores topics that will help enhance your skill sets and abilities in iSeries Access in the latest V5R4 technology environment. During this packed seminar we will be covering the very timely topics of:

Get to the Web Fast with iSeries Access for Web

If you are looking for a extremely simply and highly functional way for to work with iSeries resources, then iSeries Access for Web is the best option!   Users simply start up their favorite browser and work with iSeries resources through easy-to-use GUIs. This session will describe how users can run host applications, work with the database, printers, the file system.  Network administration becomes a breeze as there is nothing that needs to be installed or configured on end user desktops.   By the end of this session, you will see how users can:

• Run host applications (5250 emulation), upload and download database information, and use the iSeries as a file and print server
• Convert their spooled printer output to PDF and either print it or email it
• Work with printers, jobs, run commands, send messages -- all through easy-to-use GUIs designed around the browser interface
• How an administrator can set up different views ('window') of the iSeries for different groups of users.

iSeries Access for Web:  Installation and Configuration

So you've heard that iSeries Access for Web is the new browser-based addition to the iSeries Access Family, and it runs run entirely on the iSeries in a web application server.  This session will describe detailed information on how the product is delivered, what pre-requisite products need to be running on your iSeries, and what needs to be done to get Access for Web configured and running in your network. We will also discuss how Access for Web can be used to connect to multiple back-end iSeries servers.

iSeries Access for Web:  Control Access to Your Resources

Abstract: When you connect to your System i through iSeries Access for Web, you will be presented with a default home page that enables you to work with your server resources, such as 5250 applications, printers, database, file system, and more.  However, as an administrator of your System i, you may not want many of your connecting users to have access to all of these functions.  You can limit access by using the customization tools provided by Access for Web. Everything is controlled through i5/OS user profiles, so you can restrict functions based on single users or group profiles. And you can create a variety of  front pages for your different types of users.

Come to this session to learn:

• How to set policies to control what functions of iSeries Access for Web that connecting users can see and use.
• About 'user-level' preferences that may improve productivity for connecting users.
• How to use the customize functions to create your own home pages.

Among the iSeries Access for Web capabilities is a 5250 interface that allows you to access your System i through your web browser of choice. You can completely control this function from your server, set up preconfigured sessions for your end users, bypass the second sign-on by using macros at start-up time, and have a help desk shared 5250 session with users having troubles at their desktop. Come and hear about the features available in this new 5250 web-based interface so that your company can get to the web with your existing applications.

iSeries Access for Web:  Tips and Techniques

As iSeries Access for Web grows in popularity, administrators want to roll out these capabilities to more and more users on more and more systems.  This session provides tips on how to incorporate iSeries Access for Web functions into normal mainstream processing, and provide added capabilities for end users.  You will learn how to exploit its administrative tools to:

• Enable users to combine their email with iSeries Access for Web functions.  With a single click, user can convert results of transactions into .PDF, .ZIP, or PC spreadsheet formats, and include these as an attachment to their email.
• Set up network configurations and set up special security measures
• Work with Policy profiles and propagate these throughout the network
