• iSeries Projects Demo
  In this demo, you will see how to work with iSeries Projects and will learn how to download source files locally, verify source offline, and edit source members offline. There are three ways to view and interact with these demonstrations:
  • Show Me: Display the demonstration as a video presentation.
  • Guide Me: Participate in a guided demonstration.
  • Let Me: Work through the demonstration without guidance.
  
  In order to view the entire presentation, you may need to move the Simulation Producer window that appears.

  	iSeries Projects Demo v6.0.1 - Downloading source files locally Updated April 2006

  	iSeries Projects Demo v6.0.1 - Verifying and compiling source in offline mode Updated April 2006
  In this demo, you will see how to use iSeries Projects to perform some typical iSeries native development tasks. You will walk through a development cycle using iSeries Projects where you are given the task of updating an existing green-screen application and re-pushing it back to the iSeries host. The development cycle involves creating and populating an iSeries project with the existing code for the green-screen application. It then involves editing and verifying the code locally, and pushing it back to the iSeries host.
