Course Overview
The Advanced System Operator Workshop for IBM i (AS27G) by IBM is a specialized three-day course designed for IT professionals responsible for managing and operating IBM i systems, including roles such as IBM i System Operators, Systems Administrators, and Power Systems Operators. This course builds upon foundational knowledge to deliver advanced skills in system management, work management, and security implementation on the IBM i platform. While no formal certification exam is tied directly to AS27G, it aligns with IBM’s professional training pathways and supports preparation for broader IBM Power Systems credentials. With over 150,000 IBM i systems still in active enterprise use worldwide, particularly in finance, healthcare, and manufacturing sectors, demand for skilled operators remains strong, ensuring career relevance for attendees.
Participants gain hands-on experience with key IBM technologies including IBM i Access Client Solutions (ACS), Hardware Management Console (HMC), Logical Partitioning (LPAR), Management Central, and traditional development tools like PDM and SEU. The lab environment simulates real-world IBM i operations, where students configure subsystems, manage batch jobs, and implement security controls using system values, group profiles, and authorization lists. A core component of the workshop involves building a basic Control Language (CL) program using both SEU and ACS, as well as creating custom menus with Screen Design Aid (SDA). One practical scenario includes setting up an LPAR environment via the HMC and using Management Central to monitor and administer multiple IBM i systems across a network, providing direct experience in enterprise-scale system administration.
By completing the Advanced System Operator Workshop for IBM i (AS27G), professionals enhance their qualifications for roles requiring deep IBM i expertise, with certified IBM i operators commanding average annual salaries between $75,000 and $95,000 in North America, depending on experience and region.
