I'm pleased to share that AS28G: BRMS for IBM i, including Cloud Storage Solutions for i has been updated and published.
Format: Instructor-led course with hands-on labs
Duration: 5 days
Level: Intermediate
What changed in this update?
This update brings the course current for IBM i 7.5 and includes updates for 5770-BR2 and the BRMS Web Interface. The course materials were refreshed with updated terminology, revised screen captures, and removal of outdated System i Navigator / IBM Navigator for i references where applicable.
The lab environment now reflects current access models to the secure IBM Power lab environment. Several labs were updated, removed, or rewritten where older interfaces are no longer supported. The course also includes updates for cloud backup topics, migration, BRMS enterprise content, and current BRMS product behavior.
