As you learn, remember the oath doctors swear: "First, do no harm!"

There are a lot of commands used to administer the iSeries that can do harm as well as good. Not always from maliciousness, but because some of the controls are "two-edged swords--" changing a parameter in one direction can cure a problem, changing it in another can make it worse!

If you have a test machine to work on, that's where to do your investigations. And you can usually create your own private copy of whatever it is you want to explore so you won't damage the real one!

If you're -really- a glutton for punishment, start investigating job and performance controls-- subsystems, routing entries, classes, modes, etc. etc. Useful information, but definitely "201" or higher classes!
