This course presents the structure and control blocks of the z/OS BCP and system services. It prepares the z/OS system programmer to identify potential bottlenecks and performance problems, perform initial error symptom gathering, and identify opportunities and requirements for tailoring an z/OS system. This course also provides prerequisite information needed for further training in specialized areas such as system measurement and tuning and system problem determination.
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.
System Introduction
Operating Environment Initialization
Task Management
Addressability
Input/Output Supervisor
Storage Management
Recovery Termination Manager (RTM)
Before taking this course, you should be able to:
These prerequisites can be met through on the job training or completion of z/OS Facilities (ES15).
Note: A fundamental knowledge of hexadecimal notation, assembler language, and z/Architecture instruction execution will enhance a student's understanding of the course material. Completion of Assembler Language Coding Workshop or Assembler Language Series is recommended.
This is an intermediate course for z/OS system programmers responsible for customization, measurement and tuning, or problem determination of z/OS. Subsystem programmers will also benefit from this class.
