Parallel Sysplex Implementation Workshop [TDS_ES42G]

OVERVIEW

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.

Virtual Learning

This interactive training can be taken from any location, your office or home and is delivered by a trainer. This training does not have any delegates in the class with the instructor, since all delegates are virtually connected. Virtual delegates do not travel to this course, Global Knowledge will send you all the information needed before the start of the course and you can test the logins.

OBJECTIVES

After this course participants should be able to:

• 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

The audience should include system and subsystem programmers and personnel responsible for the implementation of the hardware and software for a Parallel Sysplex.
