Using CA-OPS/MVS with CA-Unicenter

    

Summary:
This course is designed to help technical staff learn the skills needed to automate and manage applications running in a z/OS UNIX System Services environment, using Computer Associates' Unicenter CA-OPS/MVS and the CA Common Services Unicenter components. At the completion of this course, attendees will understand how to install, implement, program and debug the OPS/MVS interface to UNIX System Services (USS) and Unicenter Network and Systems Management (Unicenter NSM). Quizzes and hands-on programming labs are used to reinforce the presented topics.

Duration:
2 Days/Lecture & Lab

Audience:
This course is intended for automation analysts and system programmers who are responsible for designing, building and monitoring systems managed by CA-OPS/MVS.

Topics:

• What UNIX System Services is and why it needs automated
• Essential skills for navigating the UNIX side of MVS
• CA-Unicenter overview
• How to install and configure the required and optional components of the Unicenter Framework for MVS
• How to install the OPS/MVS UNIX System Services interface components
• How to code and test OPS/MVS USS rules
• How to code REXX execs that use the ADDRESS USS environment
• How to deploy two-way communications with other Unicenter servers for Enterprise-wide systems management
• Case study Interfacing OPS/MVS with the IBM MVS HTTPD Web Server

Prerequisites:
Students should be familiar with MVS in general, OPS/MVS, the OPS/REXX programming language and UNIX System Services. ProTech courses MVS Skill Pack, Multi-platform REXX Programming, Understanding and Using CA-OPS/MVS and z/OS UNIX System Services Introduction provide this background knowledge.
