IBM z/OS 2.4 update and enhancements (ESC9G)

• Teams with the 2.4 migration planned.
• Organisations already on 2.4 who want to use what they are leaving on the table.

• An overview of the new features in z/OS 2.4
• Base control program enhancements
• Advanced sysplex features
• z/OS UNIX system services
• Data storage subsystem updates
• Communications Server enhancements
• Updates in the security components, such as RACF
• Installing and migrating to z/OS 2.4

• Labs on a real z/OS rather than on slides: every block is practised on the system.
• Taught directly by IBM Champion instructors from the SIXE team.
• Credly badges available: credly.com/organizations/sixe/badges
• Flexible format — online, classroom or onsite — in closed groups, priced per attendee, in the language of your choice (ES / EN / FR).

Does this course still make sense?
The official outline of this course covers a release IBM has already withdrawn: z/OS 2.5 is the one still in support. We keep delivering it because estates are still there, and we teach it on the release you run. If what you need is to prepare the jump, tell us and we build the migration content you need.

Does it cover the migration itself?
The last block is installation and migration: what changes, what to review beforehand and what usually causes trouble.

Group size and language?
Closed groups of four to ten people, in Spanish, English or French. We run it with fewer than four as well, though it usually pays to wait and fill the group.

• ESC8G — z/OS 2.3 update (the previous release)
• ES41G — Installing z/OS with ServerPac (installing the system)
• ES26G — SMP/E for z/OS (maintaining the software)
