Course Details

Parallel Sysplex Implementation Workshop

Course code: ES42G

Duration: 4.5 Days

Prerequisite:

Experience in the following areas is recommended:

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

Course 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.

Course Objectives:

After taking this course, you 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    

Intended 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.
