Short Summary

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

Duration in Hours ⌚

36

Content 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
