SMP/E for z/OS Workshop Course Overview

SMP/E for z/OS Workshop Course Overview

The SMP/E for z/OS Workshop course is a comprehensive program designed to equip learners with the skills necessary for system maintenance using the System Modification Program/Extended (SMP/E) tool. The course provides an in-depth understanding of how to manage and deploy software updates, apply patches, and ensure system reliability on z/OS platforms.

Starting with the basics, Module 1 lays the foundation by explaining the role of SMP/E in system maintenance. As participants progress through the course, they'll learn to interpret and manage modification control statements (Module 2), create a software inventory database (Module 3), and utilize SMP/E dialogs for product installation (Module 4). Managing exception SYSMOD data (Module 5), understanding primary and secondary data sets (Module 6), and analyzing SMP/E output to troubleshoot issues (Module 7) are crucial skills developed in subsequent modules.

Advanced topics include using the REPORT command for software dependencies (Module 8), the BUILDMCS process for function SYSMODs (Module 9), and leveraging new SMP/E functions for automatic software service installation over the internet (Module 10). The course also covers FTP client support (Module 11) and the RECEIVE ORDER command to automate z/OS maintenance (Module 12).

This workshop empowers learners with the knowledge to effectively manage z/OS environments, ensuring streamlined software delivery and system integrity.
