z/OS JCL Workshop Pt 2 - Advance Functions & Utilities [TQ]

OVERVIEW

This course builds on the skills taught in the definitive introductory JCL course - z/OS JCL Workshop Part 1 - Foundation Skills. The course teaches the exploitation of the important advanced features and facilities available in z/OS JCL, and shows how JCL maintenance can be simplified in order to aid productivity.
 

This course also introduces and explains the use of DFSORT ICETOOL, a dataset reporting utility that provides a batch front-end for DFSORT, which is capable of performing complex sorting, copying, merging, reporting and analytical tasks using multiple datasets in a single job. This tool can be called from a program or executed directly in a batch job. ICETOOL provides a set of 'operators' that provides a wide variety of tasks, and this course shows how to effectively exploit the benefits offered by this utility.

z/OS System Dumps Problem Resolution [MEDG]

OVERVIEW

When system problems occur companies often automatically send the dumps to IBM, without looking at them first. However, as we all know, z/OS today is almost invariably a multi-vendor software environment. 


This course teaches you the vital (yet simple) techniques that will quickly extract maximum information from the diagnostic data. This lets you identify the vendor product responsible for the problem, and ultimately verify their diagnosis of the problem. 


This course describes and explains what can go wrong in an IBM z Systems environment, and what you can do about it as an operator or systems programmer. It looks at failure situations from many points of view, including hardware problems and the software environment. 


The software environment is further examined by looking at the Recovery Termination Manager (RTM) - the 'cleaning-up' function of z/OS - and its ABEND-concept. All the different reports that come out of a z/OS system in conjunction with failures (messages, dumps, traces, etc.) are also discussed. The most common reasons for system ABENDs (and how you can analyze the information coming out of the system when they occur) are also covered.

COURSE SYNOPSIS

  • Interactive Problem Control System
  • Recovery & Termination
  • Request Block Analysis
  • SVC Dump Analysis Approach
  • Multi-Processor Environments
  • Locks
  • Dispatcher
  • Address Space Control
  • SAD Analysis Approach
  • Input/Output Supervisor
  • Real Storage Manager
  • Auxiliary Storage Manager

COURSE OBJECTIVES

  • Identify which software component caused the problem 
  • Identify the vendor responsible for the problem
  • Extract the most relevant diagnostic information in the minimum time
  • Use the appropriate diagnostic procedure for each type of dump 
  • Identify the failing operating system component in standalone and SVC dumps
  • Use various operating system data-gathering facilities such as system traces, LOGREC, and SLIP.
  • Locate information in various manuals that is critical to problem resolution.
  • Develop a methodology to speedily extract the required information for resolving a problem situation.

PREREQUISITES

To benefit from this course, participants need both the ability to read Assembler code and familiarity with z/OS internal operations and data areas (including the concept of control block chaining). These prerequisites can be met by completing the courses Using z/OS Assembler [AS], z/OS System Fundamentals Part 1 [MSF1] & z/OS System Fundamentals Part 2 [MSF2].
