Duration: 4 Days
This course enables a new system operator to develop basic to intermediate level skills needed for day-to-day operations of System i. Specifically, the course explains how to: Use the online help and references; Send, display, and reply to messages ; Monitor and control jobs, devices, and job and output queues; Start and stop the system; Create and change user profiles; Use authorization lists and group profiles; Manage system configuration; Save and restore objects, libraries, and the system; Monitor job and history logs; Diagnose a system problem; Order, receive, and apply PTFs. You will learn how to perform all of these functions using a 5250 emulation session as well as System i Navigator and Systems Director Navigator for IBM i. Hands-on exercises reinforce the lecture topics and prepare the student to successfully operate a System i.

Audience
This course is intended for the person who has responsibility for daily system operations.
It is not intended for technical audiences who are seeking an in-depth look at how the Power i system works. This audience should instead attend the IBM i Programming Facilities Workshop (OE490) or (OV490)
Prerequistes
You should be able to sign on to a workstation, send and respond to messages, and use system-supplied menus.
