Introduction to the IBM Enterprise Environment

4

This IBM Redbooks publication provides students of information

systems technology with the background knowledge and skills
necessary to begin using the basic facilities of a mainframe computer.
It is the first in a planned series of book designed to introduce
students to mainframe concepts and help prepare them for a career in
large systems computing.

For optimal learning, students are assumed to have successfully

completed an introductory course in computer system concepts, such
as computer organization and architecture, operating systems, data
management, or data communications. They should also have
successfully completed courses in one or more programming
languages, and be PC literate.

16 This book can also be used as a prerequisite for courses in advanced

topics or for internships and special studies. It is not intended to be a
complete text covering all aspects of mainframe operation or a
reference book that discusses every feature and option of the
mainframe facilities.

Others who will benefit from this book include experienced data
processing professionals who have worked with non-mainframe
platforms, or who are familiar with some aspects of the mainframe
but want to become knowledgeable with other facilities and benefits
of the mainframe environment.
 This IBM Redbooks publication introduces the IBM System z10
Enterprise Class server, which is based on z/Architecture. It builds on
the inherent strengths of the System z platform, delivering new
32 technologies and virtualization that are designed to offer
improvements in price and performance for key workloads, as well as
enabling a new range of solutions.

on to ISPF and provides details of navigation methods, program
function key definition and explains how basic ISPF settings can be
configured.

4 This course describes the TSO association with ISPF, and provides
examples of commonly used TSO commands. Basic ISPF concepts,
defaults, and general navigation are discussed, and detailed
descriptions are provided of the View, Edit, and Utility options. The
editing of data set content and the use of Edit Primary commands is
explained.

The SDSF Concepts and Operation course describes the purpose of

SDSF, providing details on how it is accessed and how you interact
with it. The course then explains how data is located and the use of
filtering commands to display specific information. Details of SDSF
8 initialization and shutdown are provided with solutions to common
problems. Finally, a description of SDSF logs and how they are used is
covered.

The Using SDSF to Manage System Resources and Devices course

describes the use of the IBM Health Checker and explains commands
that can be used to run, delete, restore, activate and deactivate a
check. Displaying and interpreting JES2 resource data is covered
along with the process of handling system requests and action
6
messages. Details associated with displaying and managing spool, and
JES2 node and line activity are also explained.

The Using SDSF to Control Job Processing course describes how job
activity can be displayed using the Input, Display Active and Status
SDSF panels. It discusses how the attributes of jobs including their
7 status, can be modified by overtyping existing values, or by entering
commands. Control of overall batch job activity through the use of
MAS, Scheduling Environments and Initiators is also discussed.

The TCP/IP protocol suite has become the de facto standard for
computer communications in today's networked world.
The ubiquitous implementation of a specific networking standard has
led to an incredible dependence on the applications enabled by it.
Today, we use the TCP/IP protocols and the Internet not only for
entertainment and information, but to conduct our business by
40
performing transactions, buying and selling products, and delivering
services to customers. We are continually extending the set of
applications that leverage TCP/IP, thereby driving the need for further
infrastructure support.
 This course discusses the coding of the JOB, EXEC, and DD
statements and the parameters used to create and access data sets
and output. It describes the use of GDG, temporary and dummy data
4 sets, and the traditional partitioned and sequential data sets. The
course also looks at the coding of catalog procedures, and common
JCL problems and their resolution.

This course describes the JES2 command syntax and provides

numerous examples explaining the scenarios in which JES2
commands are used. After an initial overview of commonly used JES2
3 commands, modules focus on the commands used for displaying
printer, initiator, and batch job attributes and status.

This course is designed to teach you the fundamental practical skills

to navigate and work in a z/OS environment.
28 This includes the use of ISPF/PDF dialogs, TSO/E commands, JCL,
UNIX System Services shell, and BookManager.

The ABCs of IBM z/OS System Programming is a 13-volume

collection that provides an introduction to the z/OS operating system
and the hardware architecture. Whether you are a beginner or an
experienced system programmer, the ABCs collection provides the
information that you need to start your research into z/OS and related
subjects.

Whether you want to become more familiar with z/OS in your current
environment, or you are evaluating platforms to consolidate your
online business applications, the ABCs collection will serve as a
-
powerful technical tool.

Volume 1 provides an updated understanding of the software and IBM

zSeries architecture, and explains how it is used together with the
z/OS operating system. This includes the main components of z/OS
needed to customize and install the z/OS operating system. This
edition has been significantly updated and revised.

z/OS job management in a z/OS system uses a job entry subsystem

(JES) to receive jobs into the operating system, schedule them for
processing by z/OS, and control their output processing. JES provides
supplementary job management, data management, and task
management functions such as: scheduling, control of job flow, and
8
spooling. JES is designed to provide efficient spooling, scheduling, and
management facilities for the z/OS
system.
