There are two half days broken up into two logical sections:

In Part One, we will discuss keeping things current along with best practices on your HMC, your System, and the IBM i Operating system.

In Part Two, we will discuss day-to-day systems management tasks including monitoring, some system tuning, system clean-up, and spooled file handling.

Note that Part One is NOT a prerequisite for Part Two.
