Parallel Sysplex Update and High Availability Topics Training  

Please understand, that the following description of topics is preliminary and subject to change. Because these workshops will contain the most up-to-date technical content based on the latest IBM software and hardware releases. Topics include: Description of the sysplex-related enhancements in z/OS latest version, Considerations for installing a zEnterprise server into an existing sysplex environment, Information about the new capabilities delivered in CF Level on zEnterprise servers, The latest Mean Time to Recovery enhancements delivered in z/OS and currently exploited by DB2, Implementing SMF Logger support in the real world. Most of the existing documentation discusses the mechanics of switching SMF recording from a VSAM data set to a log stream. However it doesnt discuss how this affects your current SMF infrastructure, consisting of tens or hundreds of programs and users, and built up over the last 40 years. This session is intended to help you identify how to optimize the capabilities of SMF Logger support in your environment. CPU Measurement Facility is a new hardware capability delivered on z10 and zEnterprise processors. This session helps you understand how to control this facility, and how you might exploit the data that it collects to more effectively manage your configuration. Resiliency tools that are extended or introduced in z/OS - Predictive Failure Analysis and Runtime Diagnostics, and what they mean to mainframe system programmers. Miscellaneous bits of useful information.
