Concepts and ISPF


Book Description

Now you can quickly master ISPF with this practical book. Chapter 1introduces you to MVS (both MVS/XA and MVS/ESA) and shows you how TSO/ISPF relates to the operating system. Then, the remaining 7 chapters teach you how to use ISPF for everyday programming tasks.




MVS TSO/ISPF


Book Description

Packed with current data and the latest methods, this hands-on reference shows you how to use the two major mainframe interface products--MVS Time-Sharing Option (TSO) and Interactive System Productivity Facility (ISPF)--to create and store data, print documents, and perform data management functions.




MVS TSO


Book Description

This is still the best book we've seen for learning how to use the TSO commands that underlie ISPF. It is also an efficient introduction to CLIST and REXX.




Practical MVS JCL Examples


Book Description

Revised to be a companion/reference to Gary Brown's System 370/390 JCL, known as the ``JCL Bible,'' it contains a significant amount of actual JCL examples in the context of a single large model program, added upon as each new feature of JCL is introduced. Details the latest enhancements from IBM including MVS/ESA and SMS. Demonstrates debugging techniques through JCL. Illustrations are in TSO/ISPF with JCL to make the book's screen examples look exactly like those seen on a computer.




ISPF Programmer’s Guide


Book Description

This book is intended to support ISPF application programmers to become professional in the smart programming of ISPF applications using the REXX language. The contents are presented in a modular manner to suit reading with heterogeneous ISPF programming knowledge. The following topics are covered: Introduction to the programming language REXX as well as to ISPF programming, data processing in ISPF applications, use of messages, panels, skeletons, tables, ISPF variables and an introduction to creating and applying edit macros. Each theme is vividly illustrated by programming examples. The Smart ISPF Utilities contain some very useful programming aids that are often useful when programming ISPF applications. The book serves as a textbook as well as a manual for daily work. Many cross-references are included as well as an extensive index. Moreover, the author gives many helpful hints and tips on smart ISPF programming practices. The Smart ISPF Utilities contain many useful programming aids.

Mainframe Basics for Security Professionals


Book Description

Leverage Your Security Expertise in IBM® System zTM Mainframe Environments For over 40 years, the IBM mainframe has been the backbone of the world’s largest enterprises. If you’re coming to the IBM System z mainframe platform from UNIX®, Linux®, or Windows®, you need practical guidance on leveraging its unique security capabilities. Now, IBM experts have written the first authoritative book on mainframe security specifically designed to build on your experience in other environments. Even if you’ve never logged onto a mainframe before, this book will teach you how to run today’s z/OS® operating system command line and ISPF toolset and use them to efficiently perform every significant security administration task. Don’t have a mainframe available for practice? The book contains step-by-step videos walking you through dozens of key techniques. Simply log in and register your book at www.ibmpressbooks.com/register to gain access to these videos. The authors illuminate the mainframe’s security model and call special attention to z/OS security techniques that differ from UNIX, Linux, and Windows. They thoroughly introduce IBM’s powerful Resource Access Control Facility (RACF) security subsystem and demonstrate how mainframe security integrates into your enterprise-wide IT security infrastructure. If you’re an experienced system administrator or security professional, there’s no faster way to extend your expertise into “big iron” environments. Coverage includes Mainframe basics: logging on, allocating and editing data sets, running JCL jobs, using UNIX System Services, and accessing documentation Creating, modifying, and deleting users and groups Protecting data sets, UNIX file system files, databases, transactions, and other resources Manipulating profiles and managing permissions Configuring the mainframe to log security events, filter them appropriately, and create usable reports Using auditing tools to capture static configuration data and dynamic events, identify weaknesses, and remedy them Creating limited-authority administrators: how, when, and why




ABCs of z/OS System Programming Volume 12


Book Description

Installations today process different types of work with different response times. Every installation wants to make the best use of its resources, maintain the highest possible throughput, and achieve the best possible system responsiveness. You can realize such results by using workload management. This IBM® Redbooks® publication introduces you to the concepts of workload management utilizing Workload Manager (WLM). Workload Manager allows you to define performance goals and assign a business importance to each goal. You define the goals for work in business terms, and the system decides how much resource, such as CPU and storage, should be given to the work. The system matches resources to the work to meet those goals, and constantly monitors and adapts processing to meet the goals. This reporting reflects how well the system is doing compared to its goals, because installations need to know whether performance goals are being achieved as well as what they are accomplishing in the form of performance goals. The ABCs of z/OS® System Programming is a thirteen-volume collection that provides an introduction to the z/OS operating system and the hardware architecture. Whether you are a beginner or an experienced system programmer, the ABCs collection provides the information that you need to start your research into z/OS and related subjects. If you would like to become more familiar with z/OS in your current environment, or if you are evaluating platforms to consolidate your e-business applications, the ABCs collection will serve as a powerful technical tool.
