In part one, Marna focuses on preparing for your z/OS 2.4 upgrade. Marna discusses the changed content of z/OS 2.4, the ordering and delivery options, and explains the coexistence, migration, fall back, and service policies. Driving and target system requirements for both software and hardware is highlighted along with some migrations actions you can perform now on your current z/OS release.

- “Virtual Storage Analysis: Exploring Below the Bar Private Storage Problems”, Patty Little, IBMAbstract:
Join Patty Little in her virtual world as she delves into debugging below the bar storage problems. This session explores debug of below the bar private storage problems. You will learn techniques used by z/OS Software Support to analyze below the bar private (local) storage usage for an address space (job) in a system dump by using VSMDATA reports. With these techniques, you will be able to assess the private storage usage for a job, and identify areas of growth or extreme usage. The GET/FREE trace will also be discussed to help identify who obtained the storage.About the Speaker:
After 3 years as a developer, Patty went to z/OS L2 support on a temporary assignment. Thirty-two years later she is still in L2, enjoying problem solving at its finest and most challenging, as she diagnoses customer problems in the Supervisor, RTM, SLIP, and VSM component areas.
