This manual also provides the workstation operator with activities and material to learn about DFU.
- The Backup and recovery topic provides the system programmer with information about the different media available to save and restore system data, as well as a description of how to record changes made to database files and how that information can be used for system recovery and activity report information.
- The CL programming topic provides a wide-ranging discussion of programming topics, including a general discussion of objects and libraries, control language (CL) programming, controlling flow and communicating between programs, working with objects in CL programs,
and creating CL programs. Other topics include predefined and immediate messages and message handling, defining and creating user-defined commands and menus,
and application testing, including debug mode, breakpoints, traces, and display functions.

- DB2
Universal Database™ for iSeries™ Query Management Programming
provides the application programmer with information about determining the database files to be queried for a report, defining a structured query language (SQL) query definition, and using and writing procedures that use query management commands.
This manual also includes information about how to use the query global variable support and understanding the relationship between the query management function of the operating system and the IBM® Query for iSeries.
- The Distributed data management topic provides the application programmer or system programmer with information about remote file processing. It describes how to define a remote file to i5/OS® distributed data management (DDM), how to create a DDM file, which file utilities are supported through DDM, and the requirements of i5/OS DDM as related to other systems.
- DSNX Support
provides information for configuring a System i™ product to use the remote management support (distributed host command facility),
the change management support (distributed systems node executive), and the problem management support (alerts).
- Local Device Configuration
provides the system operator or system administrator with information about how to do an initial local hardware configuration and how to change that configuration. It also contains conceptual information for device configuration,
and planning information for device configuration on the 9406, 9404, and 9402
System Units.
- SNA Distribution Services
provides the system programmer or network administrator with information about configuring a communications network for systems network architecture distribution services (SNADS) and the Virtual Machine/Multiple Virtual Storage (VM/MVS) bridge. In addition, object distribution functions, document library services and system distribution directory services are also discussed.
- ICF Programming
provides the application programmer with the information needed to write application programs that use i5/OS communications and ICF files. It also contains information about data description specifications (DDS) keywords, system-supplied formats, return codes, file transfer support,
and programming examples.
- LAN,
Frame-Relay and ATM Support
contains information about using a System i product in a token-ring network, an Ethernet network, or a bridged network environment.
- Remote Work Station Support
provides information about how to set up and use remote workstation support, such as display station pass-through, distributed host command facility,
and 3270 remote attachment. It also provides information for the application programmer or system programmer about configuration commands and defining lines, controllers, and devices.
- The Security topic provides the system programmer (or someone who is assigned the responsibilities of a security officer) with information about system security concepts, planning for security, and setting up security on the system.
- The SQL programming topic provides the application programmer, programmer,
or database administrator with an overview of how to design, write, test and run SQL statements. It also describes interactive Structured Query Language (SQL).
- The SQL reference topic provides the application programmer, programmer, or database administrator with detailed information about SQL statements and their parameters.
