Education

IBM is offering Live web-based education sessions on a variety of z/VSE topics. This education is in the form of 'Live Virtual Classes' (LVC). In a LVC, you can see the charts and listen to the speaker 'live'. In addition, you are able (and encouraged) to ask questions of the speaker during a Q&A session following the prepared presentation. Each LVC lasts approximately one hour, including Q&A. There is no fixed schedule, so please check this web page periodically to find out if there's a new LVC planned. LVC sessions are free of charge.

At the day of each LVC, the charts will be posted here in PDF format. a few hours later, a playback will be available as well. With the replay, you are able to read the charts and hear everything that was said on the LVC. You are welcome to read the charts or listen to the playbacks if you can't participate 'live'. However, compared to the replay, one advantage of live participation is that you are able to ask questions of the speaker.

Upcoming Live Virtual Classes

How to avoid or handle CICS storage availability problems

Storage availability problems can often result in CICS or even z/VSE system down conditions, and it is often possible to avoid these situations by ensuring that your system is configured appropriately and is being monitored and reconfigured proactively. However, life is not always that simple, and issues such as performance problems, changes and new bugs can result in outages. Hence it is important that the appropriate diagnostic information is provided so that IBM can deal with the problem as efficiently as possible. For CICS storage availability problems, understanding both CICS and z/VSE GETVIS storage usage is of vital importance, therefore, Partition, Space and System GETVIS usage, optimization, monitoring and diagnosis are explained as well as the CICS equivalents. The session explains what diagnostic material IBM needs based on the symptoms, the correct commands to be used to monitor storage usage and to force CICS dumps for cases such as SOS, and even includes typical SDAID commands for the various types of GETVIS storage leak. This session is based on experience of dealing with customer PMRs reported against CICS TS for VSE/ESA.

Replay: This session will be recorded and a replay will be available shortly after the session.

If you've never used Connect Pro, get a quick overview.

 

Future Live Virtual Classes:

We are currently planning for the following future z/VSE Live Virtual Classes:

  • z/VSE SCRT Update
  • Cloud computing with z/VSE
  • Hardware Update

Note: All topics are subject to change.

Schedule dates and registration links will be made available about 2 weeks before the individual event.

Additional future topics will be added over time and can also by suggested via Contact z/VSE.
