z/OS Internals
Mainframe Training Overview

This course provides a detailed examination of z/OS for systems programmers. Topics include an introduction to computer systems hardware and an exploration of z/OS architecture, system services and functions, storage management mechanisms, and I/O processes. Each section will also explore the associated control block structures associated with the z/OS operations being looked at.

Mainframe Training Audience

Experienced systems programmers with a need for a more detailed understanding of z/OS functions. Due to the technical nature of this material, the student should have several years experience in the z/OS environment.

Mainframe Training Course duration

5 days
