OS/390 MVS Concepts and Facilities
This course introduces the IBM Multiple Virtual Storage (MVS) environment and explains concepts and facilities, and its role within the OS/390 system. The course explains the role of MVS and identifies the data processing resources affected by the MVS operating system. The course explains how MVS functions as an operating system and how the MVS components fit together. It also shows the various ways the system processes a job using Job Control Language (JCL). The course explains how MVS handles user input/output using five MVS system facilities: Job Entry Subsystem, Initiator, Terminator, Interrupt Handler, and Task Dispatcher. The course also explains how MVS shares system resources between multiple programs through the operating system task management components.
MVS Concepts and Facilities training covers such topics as:
Environment Overview
Virtual Storage
MVS Functions
MVS System Programs
Data Storage and Management
Application Development
This course is designed as an introductory course for system programmers, operators,
managers, system support personnel, and application programmers.
Description
This course introduces the IBM Multiple Virtual Storage environment.
It explains concepts and
facilities, and its role within the S/390 system. The course covers
MVS functions and system programs,
data storage management, and application development. The course
explains the role of MVS and
identifies the data processing resources affected by the MVS operating
system. The first topic
presents a broad overview of MVS functions, and the second topic
concentrates on mainframe job
processing environments. The course explains how MVS functions
as an operating system and how
the MVS components fit together. It also shows the various ways
the system processes a job using
Job Control Language. The course explains how MVS handles user
input/output using five MVS
system facilities: Job Entry Subsystem, Initiator, Terminator,
Interrupt Handler, and Task Dispatcher.
The course also explains how MVS shares system resources between
multiple programs through the
operating system task management components.
Audience
This course is designed for system programmers, operators, managers,
system support personnel,
and application programmers.
Prerequisites
This course assumes the student is new to the MVS/390 platform
and has basic knowledge of IS
technologies, data processing, software and hardware. It is expected
that students have some
knowledge of networking, communications and application development,
and security concepts.
It is suggested that the student first completed the OS/390 Introduction
course.
