To port an application to the System i5 family, you will need to have a basic understanding of the system's architecture and operating system and related system services. The following references provide the necessary background. In addition to these topics, you should also review application development and porting references.

|
 | Overview of iSeries Architecture
This presentation provides a quick, easy to read overview of the System i5 family's architecture. |
|
| A Technical Introduction to IBM eServer iSeries
This presentation is an introduction to many of the technologies utilized by this System i5 family. You will gain a foundation of the hardware and software, which is necessary to successfully use the system. |
|
| OS/400 File Systems
This presentation will teach you what you need to know to quickly find and efficiently work with objects on the system. You will learn about the attributes of objects and files such as their names, locations, data encoding and permissions. |
|
| iSeries Access: Contemporary Client Interface for iSeries servers
This presentation discusses the graphical user interface iSeries Access to the System i5 family. This includes from Windows or Linux, browser-based access and even wireless devices. |
|
| iSeries Access for Windows and iSeries Navigator Lab
This lab covers such as working with jobs, users and groups, databases, and file systems. The discussion also includes software prerequisites and installation. |
|
| DB2 UDB for iSeries
This site and related links offers options to learn about DB2 basics if you are a long time SQL user or database administrator on another database/platform. |
|
| Introduction to work management on the IBM iSeries platform
This presentation addresses terminology, functions and diagnostic procedures. "Work management" is the term used to describe the functions that manage work on the iSeries system. |
|
| Work management lab exercise on an IBM iSeries system
In this exercise you examine basic work management functions. You will also review objects that are used by the i5/OS operating system to control the jobs that run on the System i5 family of servers. |
|
| Exploit IBM i5/OS workload management capabilities
This whitepaper provides the information to exploit the work management features of i5/OS. You'll learn how to automatically start a server application with the operating system initialization. |
|
| Introduction to OS/400 Security
This presentation discusses object-based authorization and explains how users are either allowed or denied access to server resources. |
|
| System Security Lab
This lab exercise will show you how to set up basic object authorizations to secure your server; you will learn how to either allowed or denied access to server resources. |
|
| TCP/IP setup
This topic provides tools and procedures for setting up a connection and configuring TCP/IP on your server. This is the first place to stop if you want to connect your server to a TCP/IP network. |
|
| i5/OS TCP/IP applications
In this course, you will look at typical TCP/IP applications and how they operate on the IBM System i platform, which supports all standard TCP/IP code. The intent of this course is to explain commonly used functions and the specific IBM i5/OS differences (where they exist) from the TCP/IP environment on other operating systems. |
| TCP/IP applications, protocols, and services
Useful information on how to start and use TCP/IP applications, such as NetServer (iSeries support for Windows Network Neighborhood), telnet and FTP. |
|
| iSeries Basic System Operations
The System i5 family requires only minimal effort to keep it running reliably, and most of the routine operations are performed quickly and easily once you are familiar with them. This section introduces the essential system tasks including system interfaces, work with attached devices, working with printer output and managing system storage. |
|
| Save user data
Discusses how to back up (save) user libraries (SAVLIB command), objects (SAVOBJ command) and directories and files (SAV command). |
|
| IBM eServer iSeries lab: Save and restore commands
This lab help will help you to perform common procedures and commands related to saving (backing up) and restoring files on the System i5 family. It is designed to help those new to iSeries systems efficiently and effectively handle one of the unique aspects of the server family. |
|
| Start and stop the system
Regardless of the System i5 configuration, you will need to stop and restart the server from time-to-time. You will want to prevent data loss and to protect system integrity. This topic will explain how to do so. |
|
| i5/OS software and fixes
IBM provides updates to the operating system and other programs between releases in sets of program temporary fixes (PTFs). Follow the associated links to learn about finding and applying updates and fixes. |
