zOS Communications Server Part 2 - Implementing TCP/IP under z/OS
Course Description
Overview
This new, four-day course is the second part of the definitive z/OS Communications Server training program. This course explains in detail how TCP/IP works in a z/OS environment. Installation, profile definition and implementation are all taught in depth. All versions of TCP/IP for z/OS are covered, along with all the servers. Additionally, all the essential and important configuration options are explained and examples are provided. Extensive hands-on practical sessions, in which each student has their own system to work on, form the central part of the course. These sessions make up approximately 30% of the whole course. Each segment of the course also contains extensive review questions/exercises - thus ensuring that all students fully grasp each topic before moving on to the next.Objectives
- Describe the structure, operation and the addressing mechanisms used in a TCP/IP network
- List the major configuration steps involved in customizing TCP/IP for z/OS and explain the Security Server customization required in z/OS
