And although it’s an excellent tool, OpsNav works only with DB2 on the iSeries. And those who do use it may have limited access to it, or may not install all of the components. For one, not everyone on the iSeries has access to OpsNav. (For more information on OpsNav, check out “DB2 Library Contents in Operations Navigator” and “Run SQL Scripts Using Operations Navigator” or get a more detailed look at SQL in “Using the SQL Features in Operations Navigator”.) Well, you are correct, and it is an awesome tool, but there are a few reasons why I want to talk about an additional database tool. Those of you who are familiar with OpsNav may realize that you already have a GUI-based tool that allows you to view and modify DB2 data on your iSeries. It is with that in mind that I’d like to introduce to you a Java-based database tool you can use to view and modify DB2 data on your iSeries. Now that the interoperability between Java and other iSeries programming languages has become so seamless, because of tools like IBM’s Toolbox for Java and the Java Native Interface, and enhancements to the GUI-based opportunities on the iSeries are almost endless. We have many tools at our disposal, like WebSphere Development Studio client, WebFacing, and Operations Navigator, that allow us to perform a variety of operations, administration, and programming tasks in GUI-based environments, as well as to provide GUI-based applications to the user community. What those uneducated iSeries wannabes don’t realize is that it hasn’t all been 5250 emulation without so much as a point and click or a drag and drop.

And if that’s not enough, developers on other platforms ridicule us iSeries developers about our archaic development tools, and when they are not ridiculing us they speak in condescending tones about our “legacy” applications.

Now they want GUI-based business applications, too. After all, the user community is getting more accustomed to GUI-based applications everyday, in the form of e-mail and the Microsoft Office Suite of products.
