Domino for System i
System i: Using iSeries Navigator tasks on the Web
Overview
iSeries Navigator is the user interface of choice for many System i administrators, system operators, and
end users. This Windows-based GUI, which is a part of the iSeries Access for Windows product, gives
administrators an easy-to-use, Windows-based interface for managing key iSeries resources.
However, in order to use iSeries Navigator, you must have the iSeries Access for Windows product
installed, both on the iSeries and your PC. What if you are home, away from your primary PC at work, and
you would like to perform some quick iSeries Navigator task. Maybe you need to check the system
operator's message queue to make sure there are no messages needing a response before work can
continue. Or you might need to check the status of a particular job that is currently running, or make sure
a key piece of printer output is moved to the top of its print queue so it can be printed immediately. Well,
with Domino 8 and i5/OS V5R4 you can perform these and many other tasks, even though you are away
from your main work PC! All you need is a browser and access to the desired i5/OS system.
This browser support is provided with a new feature called iSeries Navigator tasks on the Web. iSeries
Navigator tasks on the Web allows you to perform a subset of iSeries Navigator tasks through an Internet
Web browser. The interface may look slightly different, but the tasks you can perform are the same as
when using iSeries Navigator Windows interface.
Administration of Domino servers from iSeries Navigator tasks on the Web is supported with i5/OS V5R4.
This feature, allows you to perform most of the same tasks that you can perform when using the Domino
plug-in for iSeries Navigator Windows interface, but from a browser.
The iSeries Navigator Web interface for Domino differs from the iSeries Navigator Windows interface for
Domino in that it is shipped with i5/OS, whereas, the iSeries Navigator Windows interface for Domino is
shipped as an iSeries Navigator plug-in as part of the Domino for System i product. Therefore, there is no
need for any update operation to run on the client in order to get a newer version of the iSeries Navigator
Web interface for Domino. Whenever you update to a new i5/OS level, you get the latest version of the
iSeries Navigator Web interface for Domino.
