Purpose
ES150 introduces the base elements ,optional fetures,and server provided in Z/OS and OS 390. It focused on the system service facilities provided by the Z/OS and OS/390 Base Control Program(BCP).
Prerequisites Learners should have practical experience with logging on to TSO and working with JCL. This experience can be obtained by attending to ES10-Fundamental System Skills for Z/OS and OS/390 .
Unit 1 Z/OS and OS Overview
What is Z/OS?
The ultimate mainframe operating system
-A packaging of over 70 different solutions
- Base operating system.
- Many industry exclusives:workload manager,parallel sysplex,intelligent resource director
- Key e-business services:networking,security,storage management,distributed files and print
-Exploiting the techs of the IBM E Server zSeries 800,IBM E Server zSeries 900.
notes:highly secure,high-performance enterprise OS on which to build and deploy Internet and Java-enabled applications,providing a comprehensive and diverse application execution environment.
Z/OS is the next generation of OS 390
Z/OS and OS 390 play a major role in the implementation of today's and future IS installation by integrating the heterogenous components to a solution that is able to cope with the complexity of this enviroment
Z/OS and OS 390 can run on the IBM eServer zSeries 800,900 and 990 machines,which are designed for the high-performance data and transaction needs demanded by next generation e-business.
Before the introduction of OS 390,the system 390 consisted of many different products that are required to be ordered ,installed and maintained seperately.After that,Z/OS and OS 390 can be ordered by customers and customers can receive a tailored package of all the base and optional products they need for their IS installation. IBM makes sure that all products shipped with the order are at the proper release level, and that all prerequisites are met. The z/os and OS 390 packages come in a pretested and easy-to-install form,whichi reduces installation and testing time considerably.Once Z/OS or OS 390 is in place ,IBM provides several differenct ways to keep your installation up-to-date.
Historical Perspective
notes:The BCP for z/OS and OS/390 is built on the MVS operating system. BCP and MVS can be used interchangeably in the documentation for z/OS and OS 390.
MVS/370->MVS/XA->MVS/ESA(open c/s solutions,object tech,network connectivity)
VTAM,TSO/E,ISPF/PDF,RACF,DFSMSdfp,JES2/JES3,SMP/E
to upgrade one product may involve upgrading mutiple other products to solve product dependencies.
IT Requriements:
1.Availability and Reliability: automatic recovery capabilities,dynamic reconfiguration,robustness as a minimum computer infrasture.
2.Application technology choice:Demand for new techs.Demand for shorted application dev cycles and easier maintenance.
3.Service to end users: easy-to-use interfaces and continuous availability of the applications.
4.Enterprise-wide systems management,network and security integration.

the last release of os 390 was Release 10 delivered in Sep.2000.The first release of z/OS was delivered March 2001.
Each release has General Availability(GA) data and an out of service date.
Elements and Features
To develiver the release in customer-tailored version,z/os and os/390 consist of base elements and optional features(priced or no charge).The IBM-supplied SYS1.PARMLIB member that defines product enablement policy for a system is IFAPRD00.

Although I went to engineering school in the late 1960s and early 1970s, and had to do my own programming, I have not a clue as to the nature of what you are doing now. Suffice it to say that I paid you a visit since I noted that you are a follower of blog, "I Think, I Can." I was curious as to the types of individuals who follow my friend from Singapore. Thanks.
WOW. Just paid closer attention to your introduction, and upon reading your profile more thoroughly, noted that you are in China. I have been trying for a year now to connect with bloggers in China, and actually establish a connection. My previous efforts had resulted in finding two blogs maintained by Chinese women who taught English in China, one of whom was traveling in the United States on vacation. However, I never could get a responsive comment. Hope that you get this.
Should you desire, upon reading our blog, you will not some of the interesting social issues which we face here in the US, which you may not face in China. Like you, we are interested in meeting and hearing from all sorts of people, from all over the globe, with all sorts of views, opinions, and ideas. Look forward to hearing from you.
Finally, feel free to pass on our blog address to others throughout China. We'd love to have a Chinese following.
Hello,I have recently been busy in doing something, so for a long time i haven't maintained my blog.Today it is very happy to see your comments. I am very willing to become your friend and discuss various topics no matter how simple or complicated they are.Welcome to visit my blog and keep in touch with me . thanks
