Why You Need a Network Documentation Library; Getting Hands on With Db2 for z/OS
Posted onApril 9, 2018
Welcome to the newly redesigned Z EXTRA. It’s got the same types of great content you expected from Mainframe EXTRA but with a new streamlined look that is easier to navigate. As an added bonus, we’ll be giving you three Z EXTRA newsletters each month, along with the regular roundup of Marketplace news and offerings from business partners, the fourth Tuesday of each month.
Documentation isn’t only important for programming; it’s vital for all of IT, including networks. It’s an unpopular task because organizations are action-oriented and objective-driven, including network management. In the short-term, this mindset makes sense, but in the long-term there’s a high price to be paid. Rewriting that student records system took a lot longer because it was a complete restart. Not only did programs have to be re-worked, so did every aspect of the application. Similarly, a network that doesn’t track performance, errors, availability and resolutions is condemned to repeat them over and over, at the expense of availability, response time and staff productivity.
I’m sometimes asked about options for getting hands on experience with Db2 for z/OS. Basically, I know of only one option, but it’s an excellent one: the IBM Z Trial Program.
Data Encryption, Data Authentication and Data Integrity software for Data-at-Rest, FTP data, Backup/Archive data and DB2/IDMS data. Complement ICSF, CPACF and all disk encryption.
How can organizations make sure clouds are secure? As cybersecurity requirements become more demanding, the IBM Z platform has introduced and updated features that make securing the cloud less daunting.
The shortage of z/OS performance analysts & capacity planners has left infrastructure and application availability at risk for many organizations unable to fill the gap.
