Particularly related to developer activities: analyzing program definitions and relationships, file and field definitions, object and source cross references, SQL definitions, triggers and constrains implemented, and the list goes on and on. All this information is as valuable to IT System Managers, as it is enterprise information to Business executives. You need to understand, evaluate, and take advantage of this knowledge.

In this session we will review the different types of system information you can find on IBM i, that are important for Developers. We’ll also analyze different case studies of how to interpret and prepare the info for future exploitation.

Learning Objectives:
1. Identify different kinds of Information available in your IBM i.
2. Analyze different ways of obtaining and/or finding this information in your systems.
3. Prepare information for better use with modern tools.
