IBM i,
in your browser.

iBridge is a modern web console for IBM i: real SQL and CL on a live system, an interactive 5250 terminal when a command needs one, and a REST API beside it. No emulator to install, no VPN gymnastics — bring a free PUB400 account and go.

// the console

Everything a green screen does. None of the green screen.

SQL Studio

LIVE

Run SELECT, VALUES and CTEs against QSYS2 services and your files. Results land as real web tables — sortable, filterable, exportable to CSV/JSON, with saved queries and a history that restores outputs.

Interactive 5250 terminal

LIVE

WRKUSRJOB, WRKACTJOB, menus, job logs — live in the browser. Every screen brings its own field map from the host, so option fields sit exactly where IBM i puts them. Type options, roll, F-keys: the real session, not a screenshot.

Persistent sessions

LIVE

Sign in once and every run reuses the same 5250 session — no sign-on per command, and the failed-sign-on counter on your profile stays untouched by retries.

Library & object explorer

PHASE E

Browse libraries, objects and source members as web pages, over the same session. Spools and IFS follow in the same explorer.

Live dashboards

PHASE E

Active jobs, subsystems and system status from QSYS2, auto-refreshed — WRKACTJOB and WRKSYSSTS as dashboards instead of green screens.

Guardrails by default

LIVE

SQL is read-only, CL passes a safety denylist, runs are rate-limited, and an auth rejection from any door is final — iBridge never cascades into a second sign-on attempt against your profile.

// how it connects

Three steps between you and the machine

1

Sign on like an emulator

iBridge opens a real TN5250 session on its backend — the same sign-on a terminal app performs — and keeps it open while you work.

2

Run, in the right shape

SQL returns as web tables, display CL as clean text, and anything interactive hands you the live terminal screen with its real field positions.

3

Sign off cleanly

Disconnect closes the session on the IBM i itself. Idle sessions expire on their own; your password is used at sign-on and never retained.
