Beskrivelse
ToppenThis course is designed to provide the SMP/E skills needed in the installation and maintenance of optional features and maintenance in the z/OS operating environment. You are taught to define the SMP/E database and invoke SMP/E to add, modify, or replace system elements. The course includes extensive hands-on labs using a current level of SMP/E.
You will get practical experience in the SMP/E tasks involved in installing a z/OS product. Emphasis is on interpreting results of SMP/E processing. SMP/E concepts examined in this course include modification control statements, the consolidated software inventory, zone structure, and error analysis. SMP/E commands such as RECEIVE, APPLY, ACCEPT, RESTORE, REPORT, and LIST are discussed.
You will also learn how to perform automated SMP/E delivery of z/OS and product maintenance over the Internet with an automated SMP/E process that downloads and installs IBM preventive and corrective service over the Internet.

Virtuel deltagelse
Et V&C Select kursus indholder nøjagtig det samme som et almindeligt kursus. Før kursusstart modtager man kursusmaterialet. Dernæst logger man på kurset via internettet og ser via sin pc den selvsamme præsentation som de øvrige deltagere, man kommunikerer via chat med underviseren og de øvrige deltagere på kurset. Denne uddannelsesmodel er både tids-og omkostningsbesparende og kan være et oplagt alternativ til almindelig klasseundervisning, hvis man f.eks. har et begrænset rejsebudget.
