May FOCUS Friday: Move. Clean. Comply. The all-in-one dataflow.; Interactivity with Unbound Controls and IBM's APF and zIIP
May 15, 2026 | 11:30 AM - 1:00 PM EDT
The flowers aren’t the only things blooming this May. It’s time to scrub your data flows, refresh your UI architecture, and supercharge your mainframe performance. Join us for this month’s FOCUS Friday as we move beyond the basics and into the high-performance fast lane.
Steven, Kin and Walter are joining up to bring you:
- Move. Clean. Comply. The all-in-one dataflow: In this session we will show a preview of the 9.3.8 feature that combines ETL and data cleansing checks into one flow, to ensure your data arrives clean, compliant, and ready for immediate use.
- Interactivity with Unbound Controls: Most WebFOCUS developers start with “Bound Controls” (filters tied directly to data columns). This session explores the architectural advantages of Unbound Controls.
- IBM's APF (Authorized Program Facility) and zIIP: If you are running ibi FOCUS versions 7.6.10 or higher, you can take advantage of IBM's zIIP processor (z Integrated Information Processor). This session will review how to run a program as APF authorized and how to turn on the ability to utilize the zIIP engines.
Whether you're looking to streamline your mainframe costs or build a sleeker web interface, this session is designed to help you "May-ke" it happen. Clear your calendar, bring your questions, and let’s get to work.
