Every now and then, we get asked by VSEn customers, how to enable Multifactor Authentication with VSEn? So in this presentation we will show you a possible way, using the VSEn LDAP Client, and an LDAP Server outside of VSEn with connection to an MFA server, resulting on VSEn loging with MFA!
In this session we will cover the announcements and news that have been happening since last year, things to consider when upgrading to 21CS VSEn 6.3 and 6.4 and the next steps you should take if you care about your VSE workloads.
In this session, you will learn what to consider when installing and upgrading to 21CS VSEn 6.4, and specially the new System License Key feature. If time allows, there will be a demo, if not, feel free to visit our hands-on-lab!
In this session we will show you how to granularly secure SMDMU, to be able to still leverage some functionality less dangerous for colleagues that might need to use it but without a risk that they will bring the system down ;-)
Using zVPS to monitor VSE is quick and easy. This session will go through the process and show the data that can be displayed. CICS and the TCP/IP stacks can also be monitored. In addition, some new features will be discussed.
In this session we will review the process of setting up, creating SCRT input files and report and uploading them... and most important how to check that the report is valid and what the different sections in the report mean.
In this presentation we will show a mixed collection of experiences from the 21CS team on different areas while working with VSEn customers and upgrading to/using 21CS VSEn 6.3 and 6.4.
From relocating a rack-mounted IBM z16 and DS8910F storage system to experimenting with AI-assisted COBOL documentation, there is currently no shortage of activity in my mainframe environment at SDK. In this session, I provide an update from Germany on current infrastructure and development projects. Topics include the upcoming datacenter relocation, insurance consolidation activities, modernization efforts around VSEn, security improvements, and enhancements for COBOL development using Visual Studio Code. I will also share first experiences using AI technologies to improve COBOL documentation and application understanding. Alongside the technical topics, I will share lessons learned and a few entertaining moments from daily mainframe operations — because enterprise IT projects rarely go exactly as planned.
Did you ever had a situation where a yield transaction was looping so bad, that you had to shutdown the whole OLTP region in order to stop it? Well, we have come up with a solution, that will make the transaction stop without you having to stop the whole OLTP region. We will also mention, some other enhancements to make your OLTP environment more resilient.
Does it seem a bit daunting to set up a second-level Linux system or a z/VM guest for testing? This session will give you a primer on setting up Linux and z/VM to run as guests and even making them "gold images" so you can duplicate them to make more as needed.
In this session we will show how to efficiently work with VSEn, both for Sysprogs and Application Programmers, by leveraging the VSEn Connectors tools and VSCode pluging to VSEn that we will release soon.
Success on the track depends on a finely tuned race car supported by a well-equipped, high-performing team. Similarly, navigating the VSE ecosystem effectively requires the right tools and the expertise to use them. Join us as we take you through the VSE circuit and explore how a comprehensive portfolio of solutions can drive you all the way to victory lane.
Channel performance management is rarely as straightforward as it first appears. To further complicate this, the IBM z17 introduces new considerations with the addition of the Network Express Adapter, FICON Express32-4P Adapter, and Data Processing Unit (DPU). This presentation will begin with a brief overview of channels and the z17 channel architecture. It then moves into a deeper exploration of channel performance management , highlighting key components, critical metrics, and important nuances specific to the z17 architecture.
This session provides an overview of GDPS, IBM's multi-site application availability solution, and how it integrates key availability technologies; including z/OS, z/VM, Linux on Z, LinuxONE systems, and remote disk copy with automation to enhance application availability and strengthen disaster recovery across IBM Z environments. Attendees will learn how GDPS delivers state-of-the-art performance in support of continuous availability, while coordinating recovery for z/OS, z/VM, and Linux workloads. The session also explores how GDPS helps organizations meet regulatory and business continuity requirements by providing robust disaster recovery (DR), high availability (HA), and improved continuity of operations (CO) for mission critical applications. Steven Cook zVM: Beyond the Horizon An update and discussion on the current z/VM focus, strategy, p
In this session we will show the latest enhancement from 21CS SDB, based on customer/compliance requirements, to support longer that 8 chars passwords when connecting to an IBM DB2 Server outside of VSEn. If there is time, we will be happy to show a demo.
In this session we will talk about the VSEn AI ChatBot that we've been working the past months, specifically trained for VSEn users, to run on your premisses and without needing too costly HW resources.
In this session we will show how to use the 21CS Customer Portal as opposed to Box and what features will be available soon. Looking forward for your feedback!
