IBM i Navigator

Many are already making use of and taking advantage of all that is offered in the new web-based version of IBM i Navigator. The new release not only eliminates the need for client software to be installed. All that is needed is to have the tool loaded on your IBM i and to have a working web browser. The new features are very robust, and ease of use has been significantly improved. We were fortunate to have Larry Bulhois share his knowledge on the topic with our local user group. It was exciting to see the information shared and the community interest. It is also a popular topic on many of the IBM i focused blogs, sites, through local user groups, IBM and COMMON. Visit the IBM site https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/i/7.4?topic=i-whats-new-navigator for information on what is provided within the new version of navigator. Some of the enhancements include monitor enhancements, tape enhancements, network enhancements, SMTP distribution list, authority collection, SQL features and templates, DB2 and IFS enhancements. performance enhancements and graph history. Take the time to check out navigator. Spend some time visiting the IBM site, seek out blogs and conversations on the topic, request your local user group has a presentation or workshop, attend COMMON sessions, or install the new navigator and explore. Many have already started to work with the tool and in 2022 it is a must if you have not already started to work with the new navigator.
