Course details
| IBM Code: SXOS029G | Category / Subcategory: IBM i / New Features |
| Delivery Method: Online and in-person | Duration (days): 3 |
Target Audience
This course is intended for IBM i administrators, users, and support staff.
Recommended prerequisites:
The following are recommended prerequisites:
- Basic understanding of Power Systems with IBM i architecture.
- Basic understanding of the support available in a current version of IBM i.
Instructors
Most of the IBM courses we offer are taught directly by our engineers. This is how we guarantee maximum quality. We complement all trainings with self-developed materials and labs, based on our experience during deployments, migrations, and courses carried out over the years.
Added Value
Our courses are deeply role-oriented. The technological needs of a development team differ from those of a team responsible for deploying and managing infrastructure. That’s why, beyond commands and tasks, we focus on solving real-world problems that arise daily for each team. We provide the knowledge, skills, and competencies required for each project. Additionally, our documentation is based on the latest version of each product.
