Geekish Garrulous Grumblings blogs › How to update Turnover for Windows

September 29th, 2012 Comments off
update turnover change management

Turnover (from Soft Landings Inc) is a pretty cool Software Change Management system running on IBMi.

Arguably its best in class and certainly my preferred SCM tool. Saying that, the old 5250 (green screen) functions are frustratingly lacking in some areas where the company has obviously decided to only focus continued development on its Windows client - Turnover for iSeries.

when does iseries become IBMi

[quote]It's not Turnover for iSeries, its Turnover for IBM-i! Would you sell a Windows package and sell it as Turnover for DOS or maybe Turnover/XP?[/quote]

But, the Windows client is based on the Eclipse IDE and its pretty neat. It's regularly updated, but you need to know how to grab the very lastest updates. So here you go.

I recorded this little screen cast with the excellent freebie JING from Techsmith but didnt record any sound... because I am huddled in a super quiet littel Dilbert cubicle and it may have awoken my fellow programmers.

The important piece is this URL - http://support.softlanding.com/t100client/2012Q2/

IBM i Access Client Solutions

Are you an IBM i Access user (formerly known as IBM Client Access)? IBM has added a brand new member to the family called IBM i Access Client Solutions. It provides a Java based, platform-independent solution that runs on most operating systems that support Java, including Linux, Mac, and Windows.

Imagine having nearly all the features of the standard IBM i Access client and being able to run it on practically any machine, including those finicky Macs that we now have to deal with. Imagine being able to run it straight from a thumb drive without even installing it.

IBM i Access Client Solutions consolidates the most commonly used tasks for accessing your IBM i, including 5250 emulation, data transfer, a virtual control panel, printer emulation and 5250 emulation for LAN Console.

Best of all it’s already included in your current IBM i Access Family license so you can download it today and use it today.
