This document outlines the system requirements specification for a group project called "Super Toy". The group members are listed. The project aims to help build connections between parents and children by helping parents understand children's language using artificial intelligence. The system architecture includes translating questions to answers via SMS, voice, and a voice answering system. The system will be trained according to children's language. Product functions include translating between text and voice, adding songs, changing phone numbers, indicating positions, managing words, and calculating processing time. Classes and objects are also discussed.
This certificate was presented to Sphamandla Mhlongo for successfully completing the Monitoring Batch Jobs with JES2 course, earning 3.00 credit hours. The course was completed on November 25, 2014 and the copyright is owned by IBM.
Share 2014 Pittsburgh CICS and Workload Management (WLM)nick_garrod
CICSPlex SM provides workload management capabilities that allow for more dynamic routing of workloads across CICS systems based on performance goals. This helps improve availability, meet response time targets, and balance workloads. Key aspects of workload management include routing transactions dynamically using VTAM generic resources in the network, TCP/IP load balancing, and z/OS Workload Manager capabilities to allocate resources based on service policies and goals defined for different workloads in the sysplex. CICS Explorer provides a simplified way to define workload management using service classes to describe performance objectives for different parts of the workload.
IBM MQ (formerly known as MQSeries) is middleware that implements message queuing using queues to allow programs to communicate asynchronously. It runs on many platforms and supports transactional message passing between programs. Key objects in MQ include queue managers, queues, channels, and messages. Messages are placed on queues and can be retrieved later, even if the sending program has ended. MQ uses logging and recovery to ensure reliable message delivery even if failures occur. It provides benefits like loose coupling between applications, assured delivery through persistence, and ability to integrate with transactional systems.
Session 6638 - The One-Day CICS Transaction Server Upgrade: Migration Conside...nick_garrod
InterConnect 2015 Session 6638 The One-Day CICS Transaction Server Upgrade: Migration Considerations. After months of writing letters of justification you‘re finally OK to order CICS TS. The software has arrived and is ready to install. What next? Do you have to buy lunch for the z/OS Sys Progs to get them to install the latest release of z/OS? What do you need from the database administrators? Is this the time to “byte” the bullet and use CICSPlex Systems Manager? Are your CICS Exits and User Replaceable Modules still valid? What will it take to get them working with this release of CICS? What will you have to tell the Application Programmers? Is your shop relying on any function that has been removed from this release of CICS? Come to this technical session to get the answers to the above questions and more.
Learn about the latest generation of IBM System z servers, the IBM System z9 Enterprise Class (z9 EC, formerly the IBM System z9 109 (z9-109)) and the IBM System z9 Business Class (z9 BC), are designed to provide an advanced combination of reliability, availability, security, scalability, and virtualization features. The good news is all supported z/OS releases can run on a z9 EC or z9 BC server (all supported z/OS.e releases can run on a z9 BC server). Similarly, all supported z/OS and z/OS.e releases can participate in a sysplex that has a CF or operating system image on a z9 server. The even better news is that most customers are well positioned to use the new server. For more information on IBM System z, visit http://ibm.co/PNo9Cb.

DB2 Systems Programming Tools of the Trade NA07B03Linda Hagedorn
Linda Hagedorn gave a presentation on DB2 systems programming tools for z/OS mainframes. She discussed how DB2 connects to various z/OS components like SYS1.PARMLIB, APF, SCHED, LNKLST, SSVT, PPT, and SMF. She explained how to use tools like IPLINFO, SETSSI, SETPROG, and MVS commands to view and update these components. She also covered dumps, slip tracing, protect keys, and other troubleshooting topics for DB2 systems programmers.
The document appears to be a short note containing only a date - "4th May". In 3 sentences or less, this document records a single date without providing any additional context or information about the significance of that date. The summary captures the high-level information that the document contains a date but lacks essential details about the meaning or purpose of the noted date.

Compuware’s Jim Liebert demonstrates some of Abend-AID’s recent enhancements. Discover Abend-AID’s new integration enhancements that allow you to quickly resolve problems by moving seamlessly among Compuware point products using our Eclipse plug-ins. Also see how enhanced Find and Fix functionality now includes batch, IMS and DB2 components.
Control/DCD and Control/SE are software tools that can help with migrating existing COBOL applications to newer Enterprise COBOL compilers. Control/DCD runs in batch mode on one or all programs, while Control/SE allows interactive processing of individual programs. These tools provide pre-compilation analysis of code to help identify issues during migration, as recompiling old COBOL programs without documentation risks introducing logic errors or reopening old bugs. They can help large organizations that rely heavily on legacy mainframe COBOL applications but now use offshore contractors for development and maintenance.
3978 Why is Java so different... A Session for Cobol/PLI/Assembler Developersnick_garrod
InterConnect 2015 Session 3978 Why is Java so different... A Session for Cobol/PLI/Assembler Developers. After giving sessions about Java in the past few years that tell System Programmers they should do Java on System z and that Java is just like every other language, this session tries to explain why Java is a bit different in Operating and Handling. Therefore this session tries to compare COBOL/PLI/Assembler with Java and how the Java technology works on System z: > Why can't you phase in a Java Program > How is a JIT working > Understand the Development Process of Java Applications > Debugging and Logging of Java Applications > and a lot more...
A presentation for PL/I and COBOL developers about Java. Not a course, but a technical deep dive. Parts are reused from an earlier Jave on Mainframe presentations, but most is new stuff.
The document provides an overview of the initial program load (IPL) process in z/OS. It describes how the bootstrap loads the operating system from disk into memory and passes control to the IPL control program IEAIPL00. This program initializes the system environment and loads initialization programs that initialize system areas, address spaces, and subsystems to start the operating system. The document also discusses system parameters and parmlib members that control the initialization process.
The document provides an overview of IBM's CICS "SIX" tools for managing CICS environments. It describes the key tools, including CICS Configuration Manager, CICS Interdependency Analyzer, CICS VSAM Transparency, CICS Performance Analyzer, IBM Session Manager, CICS Batch Application Control, and CICS VSAM Recovery. It discusses how the tools help meet common IT demands like improving responsiveness, modernizing platforms, and reducing costs of ownership. The CICS Explorer is presented as a new integrated interface for these tools.
