SDSF – Using SDSF to Perform Advanced System Monitoring 2.5
Duration
3 hours
Overview
The SDSF – Using SDSF to Perform Advanced System Monitoring course describes SDSF panels that system programmers can use to analyze storage and address memory information. It also discusses how key system libraries and their attributes can be displayed using various SDSF panels. This information can assist systems programmers with analyzing and diagnosing information that may be affecting the performance of workloads and availability of the system.
Audience
Primarily designed for Systems Programmers, whose role it is to diagnose system issues, but some aspects may also be applicable to Application Programmers.
Prerequisites
This person needs to have solid knowledge of the z/OS operating system and how workloads are processed.
Objectives
