Storage Management Administration & Exploitation Uzbekistan Eğitimi

This popular four-day course describes and explains how to implement and exploit the features provided by the z/OS storage environment, and covers SMS in particular. It examines both hardware and software features and explains how to exploit them to the full. The course will gives attendees a detailed knowledge of how best to design and test the SMS Constructs and ACS routines.<br>The course also provides a basis for evaluating standards and for establishing an optimised System Managed Storage (SMS) environment. Key components such as catalogs, VTOCs and I/O definitions are all explained.<br><br>There are a number of challenging online practical sessions during the course which, among other things, teach how to write optimised ACS routines.<br><br>This course is also available for one-company, on-site presentations and for live presentation over the Internet, via the Virtual Classroom Environment service.

A general knowledge of z/OS concepts, the ability to use TSO and familiarity with JCL and Utility programs.
