Table of Contents
PREFACE
Understanding AS/400 System Operations is for students learning computer operations and administration on the AS/400 computer system. Offering a unique approach to learning AS/400 operations with extensive end-of-chapter, hands-on labs, self-tests, and review questions, this book prepares you from the ground up to be productive at AS/400 operationsusing real-world situations.
The primary goal of this book is to teach you how to perform day-to-day operations on an AS/400 computer system. Operations include IPL, starting and stopping the system, backup and recovery, and system cleanup. Procedures covered are creating and maintaining user environments, device configuration and management, security implementation, work and data management, and TCP/IP configuration. Console operations include jobs, message handling, and working with spooled files and peripheral devices. Electronic Customer Support (ECS) and Program Temporary Fix (PTF) upgrades are introduced. Most topics include a hands-on lab.
Understanding AS/400 System Operations has 20 chapters, four appendices, and a glossary. At the front of the book, the Contents provides a road map from which students can get a quick overview of the concepts presented in each chapter. Each chapter is organized into the following sections:
- Chapter objectives.
- Chapter text material explaining AS/400 system operation concepts.
- Chapter summary.
- Key terms.
- Review questions.
- Self-test questions.
- Lab assignments.
Chapter objectives are presented on the first page of each chapter to provide a quick overview of important concepts presented in the chapter. The objectives also inform readers what is expected of them and what material is most important.
The chapter text material explains AS/400 system operation concepts and gives examples of how they might be used in a business environment.
A chapter summary gives students an opportunity to review the major concepts presented in each chapter.
Each section of key terms provides an overview of important terms presented in the chapters. The sections provide a quick reference of new terms for students.
Review questions provide students with an opportunity to reinforce the concepts presented in the chapters. These questions may be used in four ways:
- For class discussion at the conclusion of a discussion of the chapter.
- As homework assignments at the conclusion of each chapter.
- As quizzes.
- As class reviews for examinations.
Students are provided with self-test questions to measure their understanding of the system operation concepts presented in the chapters. These questions consist of fill-in-the-blank, true-false, and illustrative system-operations questions.
With most chapters, several practice assignments are provided. These assignments require the use of the concepts presented in the chapter and give students an opportunity to apply their knowledge of skills introduced in the chapter.
The lab assignments supplement the chapter material and provide an opportunity for students to practice the different aspects of the AS/400 operations environment.
IBM CERTIFICATION TESTING
Understanding AS/400 System Operations prepares students for two IBM AS/400 certification exams: Test #052, AS/400 Associate System Operator Certification and Test #053, the AS/400 Professional System Operator.

INSTRUCTORS MANUAL
An Instructors Manual has been prepared by Marge Hohly and has been tested for quality assurance. The manual is available to those colleges that adopt this book. Support materials include overhead transparency masters, a test bank, lab setup instructions, user environment material/definitions, lab submission sheets, and AS/400 objects required for labs.
TO THE READER
This book is appropriate for introductory computer students. Although no previous AS/400 experience is required, we suggest that, before studying AS/400 operations, students have some understanding of basic computer concepts. A course in AS/400 concepts or at least some exposure to the AS/400 computer system is recommended.
If you know another operating system, you might be able to proceed more quickly through the text. We hope you find the approach more conceptual than you might have experienced with other textbooks. Accordingly, we recommend that you read the text in sequence and practice each topic by completing the lab assignments at the end of each chapter. If you have studied a course in AS/400 concepts or at least have some exposure to the AS/400, you could consider skimming the first four to six chapters. However, you should complete the labs to confirm your knowledge of each topic area.
We welcome your comments, criticisms, and suggestions. Please submit suggestions by email at textbooks@midrangecomputing.com . Requests for reprint permissions should be addressed to the Permissions Department, Midrange Computing. For product-ordering information, visit our Web site at www.midrangecomputing.com or contact:
