In this session you will learn about what the Rexx Programming Language can do, how to use some of the basic instructions and functions to get started with and resources to have on hand for reference.
Learn about the recommended practices based on experience, lab testing, development recommendations, and customer experiences for Making z/VM and Linux Guests "Production Ready". Design and Configuration Planning Considerations, Installation/Configuration Recommendations, Basics for Monitoring, Troubleshooting, Performance, and more!
CMS Pipelines is a facility included with the z/VM CMS component that includes a set of some 350 programs that can be used to build application to run in CMS. Each programs is known as a stage. In this session, the speaker will provide an overview of the Pipeline concepts, an overview of many of the basic stages, and the how to use CMS Pipelines to enhance programming in CMS. A working knowledge of CMS and REXX is needed to get the most out of the presentation. The presentation will include examples that could be executed on any CMS system.
No matter if you have a second-level z/VM test system or a full-on Production z/VM host, you had better have an External Security Manager. The RACF security server gives you a much higher level of security than CP can. But how does it "work" and why is it so scary - or painful - for a lot of z/VM system administrators? In this session, the speaker will cover the basic terminology, RACF commands that should be learned to manage basic resources and pit-falls to avoid and overcome.
In this session we will talk about the right way to deploy RACF on z/VM. The speaker has done many RACF deployments and has strong opinions on what constitutes the right way. (Yes, Virginia, there is a wrong way!) We'll talk not only about policy, but about the mechanics of deploying RACF the right way the first time, including the latest updates to RPIDIRCT in z/VM 7.4.
