Optimization and Simplification Tips for Deploying z/VM Products
Wednesday June 10, 2026 1:00pm - 2:00pm EDT
Acquisitions, scaling, or hardware upgrades often require product environment updates. In this session, we will share simple techniques and standard practices to save time, reduce effort, and eliminate errors through optimized processes. Learn why copying existing configurations beats starting from scratch. Review best practices for working with primary, alternate, and previous runtime environments, and how flexible service deployments and cloning can streamline z/VM product environment management.

VFILE coming to a Reader Near You
Wednesday June 10, 2026 2:15pm - 3:15pm EDT
VFILE provides NJE-like interconnect using open standard UFT protocol to include Linux and Windows in your collection. It mimics spool space on systems which don't have that providing a "delivery dock" so that files arrive safely, isolated from user filespace until received by the user. VFILE is a powerful alternative to services like FTP, more secure, easier to automate. And, yes, messaging works too.
