No More Excuses: Using AI to Anonymize Your Test Data
Monday October 26, 2026 9:00am - 10:00am EDT
TBD
We'll just use a copy of production — it's a phrase that has launched a thousand compliance violations. IBM i shops often sit on decades of richly structured data in Db2 for i that is invaluable for testing, but off-limits for good reason. This session shows how AI can intelligently anonymize and synthesize test data that preserves referential integrity, realistic data distributions, and business logic — without exposing PII or violating GDPR, HIPAA, or SOC 2 requirements. We'll cover practical approaches using AI tooling alongside native IBM i capabilities, and walk through real patterns for masking data across related physical and logical files.

How Refactoring Helps Bulletproof Your Application
Monday October 26, 2026 9:00am - 10:00am EDT
TBD
Do you (or does your manager) doubt the value of refactoring your code into a modular design? This session goes in-depth about how you save time and create higher quality programs by refactoring into small, independent routines. We will discuss how this improves your ability to test and maintain your application over time, saving you tons of time in the long run. This session is co-presented by expert developer, Scott Klement, and expert tester, Yvonne Enselman to help you see it from both perspectives.

Application developers should consider the performance characteristics of new and changed applications as part of the development process. After all, finding a performance problem during test is far better than having an issue occur on production. This presentation will review the IBM i performance tools available to understand the performance of applications. This session will review Wait Accounting, Job Watcher, and Performance Explorer and how these tools can be used to understand the performance characteristics of your applications. This session will also discuss common performance issues that occur due to application design and how using performance tools can help prevent these problems.

ILE Concepts - and Analyzing ILE Objects with IBM i/Db2 Services
Monday October 26, 2026 9:00am - 10:00am EDT
TBD
Programs, Modules, Service Programs, Internal and exported Functions and Procedures, Binding Directories ... in short ILE Concepts are necessary for a modular and modern programming in RPG and other ILE messages. But ... sometimes still a mess. Once the Concepts are understood and used, programs can easily be created by putting "puzzle pieces" pieces together, i.e. calling functions and procedures. But how to analyze our ILE Objects, i.e. where are our procedures/functions located, which modules are bound to what (service-)programs etc? The good news is, IBM provided in the last releases and technology refreshes a lot of powerful IBM and Db2 Services. Among these services are also all kinds of Services for analyzing and managing ILE Objects. This session combines an introduction into the ILE Concepts and shows what services are available for analyzing the ILE Objects (modules, programs, service programs, modules …)

Modern DevOps for IBM i: Building the Foundation for AI and Beyond
Monday October 26, 2026 9:00am - 10:00am EDT
TBD
Generating code with AI is impressive, but it's only half the story. How does it find the source it needs? How do you create the objects? How do you deploy it? How do you manage dependencies? This session explores why the right DevOps foundation is what makes all of it possible, and why, without it, AI-assisted development on IBM i is extraordinarily difficult (and expensive to do). You'll see how modern DevOps platforms automatically identify dependencies, determine build requirements, and handle deployments across environments. We'll demonstrate how non-IBM i developers can use AI to create RPG programs without understanding compilation processes or deployment procedures, because the DevOps infrastructure takes care of it. Agentic coding becomes genuinely manageable when the right foundation is in place. We'll also cover the broader case for moving to true Git-based DevOps: increased productivity through parallel development, better auditability, cleaner visibility into code changes, and a development workflow that connects IBM i to the tools the rest of your organization already uses. You'll learn strategies for integrating AI-generated code into existing workflows and see real examples of what this looks like in practice. This isn't just about writing code faster. It's about creating a complete, integrated development environment where AI and automation work together to make your team more productive.

In addition to showing you the basics of how APIs work, this session explains how to use several free tools to consume them. The tools will be compared so that you can determine which one would work best for you.

RPG and UTF-8 – Pitfalls, Solutions and Best Practices
Monday October 26, 2026 9:00am - 10:00am EDT
TBD
In the modern IT world, data in different languages and move over in data in different writing system must be exchanged, maintained and stored. For data exchanged over the web in JSON or XML format is UTF-8. In UTF-8 a single character can have 1-4 Bytes. For RPG developers, this brings new challenges: By default, RPG automatically converts all data – including constants, variables, external data structures, and columns in tables processed via Native I/O – into the job’s CCSID at runtime. This behavior can have serious consequences when certain characters cannot be converted and are replaced by substitution characters, leading to potential data loss. Length calculations and alphanumeric built-in functions can also produce unexpected results, since RPG internally operates in bytes rather than characters. This becomes a problem as soon as multi-byte characters are involved. Since IBM i 7.2, it has been possible to define variables with a specific CCSID, such as UTF-8. But what about all the other data objects that are not explicitly defined this way?
