Parallel Sysplex Implementation Workshop

This course is developed for systems programmers working on an implementation of a Parallel Sysplex. It covers the details of z/OS and z/OS-related products and subsystems exploiting the Parallel Sysplex components. It is focused on the resource sharing side.

Training Paths that reference this course are:

z/OS and System z

z/OS Installation, Tuning, JES, and REXX Programming and Problem Diagnosis
