| Step-by-step guide to IBM Power Systems firmware update
IBM® Power Systems™ firmware update, which is often referred to as Change Licensed Internal Code (LIC) procedure, is usually performed on the managed systems from the Hardware Management Console (HMC). Firmware update includes the latest fixes and new features. We can use the Change Licensed Internal Code wizard from the HMC graphical user interface (GUI) to apply updates to the Licensed Internal Code (LIC) on the selected managed system.
We can select multiple managed systems to be updated simultaneously. The wizard also allows us to view the current system information or perform advanced operations. This tutorial provides the step-by-step procedure for the IBM Power Systems firmware update from the HMC command line, and the HMC GUI and is targeted for system administrators.
This step-by-step instructions can prepare the newbie for what needs to be done and how it could be done to stay on to the latest firmware level all the time. When you purchase a new hardware, the best practise is to upgrade all the firmware to the latest level.

environment where changes can be tested and tuned before being deployed into production.
InfoSphere Optim Query Capture and Replay captures all of the application workload
running against a production database and replays it against a test database without the
need to replicate the entire application infrastructure. It not only replays both
dynamic and static SQL, but also reproduces the number of client connections and their
properties, the timing and order of execution, transaction boundaries and isolation
levels, and many other critical features of workload execution. The result is a much
closer approximation of production workloads and greater confidence that when changes
are deployed, they will not disrupt production.

cloud applications. With Workload Deployer, you can assemble virtual
application patterns consisting of Java EE enterprise applications, Web
applications, OSGi applications, and other types of components. However, as an
application developer, it is predominantly the source code of the components
of the pattern you need to work with the most. The latest integrated features
of Rational Application Developer and Workload Deployer will help you develop
virtual application patterns from the source code on up.

| Use industry templates for advanced case management, Part
1: Introducing the Credit Card Dispute Management sample solution template for
IBM Case Manager
IBM Case Manager provides the platform and tools for a business analyst to define and implement a new generation of case
management solutions. To accelerate the development of solutions in particular industries, IBM Case Manager supports the notion of a
solution template, which is a collection of case management assets that can be customized and extended to build a complete solution. To
illustrate the value of solution templates and the features of IBM Case Manager, IBM has provided two sample solution templates
that can be used as learning tools for users new to the platform. This tutorial
introduces one of those templates: Credit Card
Dispute Management from the financial services industry. This sample template can serve
as a foundation for clients who want to
build a similar solution. The template can also serve as a learning tool and reference
for clients to build other solutions in other industries.
