About our wizards
Our wizards are interactive assistants that ask you a series of questions about the task you want to perform (for example, setting up a Parallel Sysplex). The wizards simplify your planning and configuration needs by exploiting recommended values and by building customized checklists for you to use. For configuration tasks, our wizards also generate outputs like jobs, policies, or parmlib members that you can upload to OS/390 and use.

Minimum browser levels
To successfully use our wizards, please use:

• Netscape Navigator® 4.06 or 4.7x (wizards currently will not run on Netscape Navigator 6 or above)
• Microsoft™ Internet Explorer 5.0 or above
