For many years, the IBM Expert Labs team has issued a bi-monthly newsletter for customers and business partners that are using or are interested in SAP on IBM i. The last newsletter was sent out at the end of April, introducing a method to reduce downtime during table partitioning and reorganization. In general, the newsletter is covering technical articles around SAP and IBM i basis administrator tasks, but also event information and announcements. The authors are usually subject matter experts from IBM or SAP.
