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 CA-OPS/MVS and CA Common Services 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 Network and Systems Management (CA NSM). Quizzes and hands-on programming labs are used to reinforce the presented topics.
Prerequisites
Attendees 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.
