Students are introduced to the services provided by the servers which execute in the z/OS environments, such as the Communications Server and the Security Server. Installation packaging options and steps to install the z/OS environments are also introduced. Operational examples using a number of IDCAMS commands, such as REPRO, EXPORT, IMPORT and ALTER are provided and discussed. The course addresses the structures (catalog, VVDS, and VTOC) involved in the ICF environment. This course provides a view of z/OS (with JES2 as the job entry subsystem) through the eyes of the operator and the operator console.
The JES3 Concepts and Commands course introduces the JES3 subsystem. It describes the JES3 input, main output, and expanded services available, and examines the commands used to start, display, maintain, and shut down the JES3 subsystem.
