This course is developed for systems programmers working on an implementation of a Parallel Sysplex. It covers the details of z/OS and z/OS-related products and subsystems exploiting the Parallel Sysplex components. It is focused on the resource sharing side.
TARGET AUDIENCE:
The audience should include system and subsystem programmers and personnel responsible for the implementation of the hardware and software for a Parallel Sysplex.
COURSE PREREQUISITES:
Experience in the following areas is recommended:
• Installing and testing z/OS and related products
• HCD coding
• PARMLIB settings
