Take Advantage of the IBM i Administration Runtime Expert
Business-critical applications must be up and running reliably without failure. When something unexpected occurs, you must identify the cause and correct it quickly. We all want to find ways to make our jobs easier, and unexpected surprises are not fun. The relentless push to do more with less is only going to intensify while the tolerance for failure keeps dropping. Yet identifying points of failure can be tricky as complexities scale. IBM i offers a free product that helps ascertain application and infrastructure health. The IBM Administration Runtime Expert for i (ARE) can be used to define attributes of a healthy environment and use those defined attributes to validate that the environment is as expected.

This presentation covers how to use ARE to with some examples such as:
• Ensure a test environment is exactly the same as production for software installed and object levels
• Identify what changed to cause an unexpected application failure
• Ensure multiple partitions are consistent in their configurations
• Ensure user profiles are consistent across all partitions
• Verify PTFs installed on all partitions at a given release

IBM Fix Level Recommendation Tool
IBM’s Fix Level Recommendation Tool (FLRT) is a helpful tool to find the updates and upgrades for various components in your Power Systems infrastructure.
FLRT can help you determine what updates and fixes are available for your Power Systems firmware, VIOS, HMC, and IBM i itself, as well as the other operating systems supported on Power systems.

This session will provide an overview of FLRT and a demo of its features.
