Parallel Sysplex Implementation Workshop

CODE: ES42G

LENGTH: 36 Hours (4.5 days)

PRICE: $4,000.00

Description

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.

Objectives

  • Understand the steps to implement a basic and full Parallel Sysplex
  • Implement a basic sysplex
  • Implement a multisystem base sysplex
  • Implement the connectivity for a Parallel Sysplex
  • Implement the features and functions of a Parallel Sysplex
  • Implement the coupling facility key exploiters
  • Understand the different recovery scenarios

Audience

This intermediate course should include system and subsystem programmers and personnel responsible for the implementation of the hardware and software for a Parallel Sysplex.

Prerequisites

Experience in the following areas is recommended:

  • Installing and testing z/OS and related products
  • HCD coding
  • PARMLIB settings
