This course is designed to teach you how to use the CustomPac installation dialog to receive and install a new z/OS ServerPac order. It also discusses basic PARMLIB customization which may be required before the new z/OS system can be IPLed. The course includes a considerable hands-on lab component.
Course Objectives:
After taking this course, you should be able to:
• Create a z/OS implementation plan based on installing a z/OS ServerPac
• Install and activate the CustomPac Installation Dialog
• Use the CustomPac Installation Dialog to configure the z/OS system layout according to local requirements
• Execute the installation jobs created by the installation dialog and any related customization task necessary to build an initial IPLable z/OS system
• Perform the hardware and software configuration tasks required to IPL a z/OS system
• Perform basic PARMLIB customization of the new z/OS base necessary to provide a stable platform for migration and testing of other products and applications on the new z/OS level
• Reuse the ServerPac z/OS system configuration in future installations and reduce time spent on upgrading the z/OS system level
