Interfacing CA-OPS/MVS with USS and Enterprise Event Management
August 3 - 4
December 21 - 22
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.
