Happy new year! I know it’s late February now, but it’s still the first post of
2022 here, so let’s see what January had to offer.
Just because the last couple months were quiet doesn’t mean that nothing’s going on. Case in point, the last month of 2021 saw a ton of updates, though many ...
November brings some nice goodies for IBM i 7.3+ users and some security fixes.
Another relatively quiet month of IBM i open source updates.
September was a pretty quiet month, but still some good stuff.
August is up, let’s check it out.
Back with another overdue update, this time for July. Big news this month, which had been hinted at for a while. Did you figure it out ahead of time? New Pac...
Hey, it’s been a while! I got way behind on pushing out update blogs, so I’ll be pushing out updates to catch up on the 2021 and try to be more consistent fo...
Today, we’re pushing out an update to YUM which will automatically pull in a new ibmi-repos package. The ibmi-repos package will provide two “new” repositori...
May updates at the same time as April updates? Madness, I say!
Well, I’m a month late, but let’s not dawdle any further – on to the updates!
Hold on to your hats, because this might be the biggest monthly update yet!
New year, new rpm updates! In this post, we’ll go over updates for both January and February.
Being the holiday and end of year season here in Rochester, things are wrapping up for the year so I figured I’d put out my December update now instead of ne...
With the latest update to BASH, there are 3 new IBM i-specific BASH builtin functions: liblist, cl, and getjobid. These builtins function nearly identically ...
October was a pretty slow month with mostly low-level improvements so I figured I’d combine them with the November updates. November turned out to be a prett...
While August had some big hitters, September was very quiet so I decided to only do one update.
Been a while so let’s get right to it.
Well, it’s that time of the month again. Time to talk about all the OSS updates that’s fit to print!
Well, I mentioned before that the May update was gonna be big and boy is it a doozy!
April seemed very busy to me, but it ended up being rather mild in what we actually delivered. I suspect that means that my May update will be a rather large...
Alright folks, strap in because March was a busy month!
Wow, hasn’t even been a week! In this blog entry, I’m going to go over what my team delivered in February.
Well, I hadn’t planned to take this long to get out another blog, but the world of OSS moves fast and things have been very busy around here. I’m planning on...
It’s a new year and so I’m finally getting around to doing something that I’ve wanted to do for a while now: write a blog series about various updates about ...
Sometimes when using bash, you can run in to an oddity where it keeps running the “wrong” command. Let’s go through a scenario:
Like last-week’s post about commitment control in Python ibm_db, you may run in to this unexpected error as well:
When using the Python ibm_db package to interact with the Db2 for i database, you may run in to this error:
QSH provides a wonderful utility called db2 which allows you to run SQL queries from within the QSH shell, but what if you’re in a QP2TERM shell or using SSH...
Today I got asked if you can index in to rows returned by ibm_db_dbi by column name. While this doesn’t come out of the box1, it can be done pretty easily.
In my last blog I showed how the LIBPATH gets used and also how the runtime search path in the binary gets used. LIBPATH is obviously set as an environment v...
So in the last entry, I described the differences between PATH and LIBPATH, but I didn’t really explain how LIBPATH is actually used. I’m going to rectify th...
I see this kind of tip suggested a lot when dealing with PASE issues:
First post here. More to come later. Happy X-mas to you all!
