Available in replay for your convenience, register now.

Developed for: Mainframe IT technical manager, operations manager, systems programmer

Technical Level: Intermediate - advanced

It won’t be long before z/OS® V1.7 is a thing of the past … in fact, it’s less than six months away. While you may be tempted to wait and upgrade with the new IBM System z10 Enterprise Class Server, all z10 functionality is supported now on z/OS V1.9. It’s time to move forward to stay within migration and coexistence guidelines supported by IBM.

Join us for this complimentary teleconference and you’ll learn how to identify migration issues, take advantage of z/OS best practices, and simplify migration to z/OS V1.9. This key release offers enhancements in areas of security; sophisticated policy-based networking; up to 64-way single image scalability; availability improvements for Parallel Sysplex®; improved application development with new System REXX™ and METAL C facilities; and improved economics for IPSec network encryption; XML parsing for DB2® 9 pureXML™ workloads; and, specialty engine exploitation. And of course, it also supports the new z10 server.

In this teleconference, we’ll discuss:

  • Features that are new, changing and removed in V1.9, along with features that will be removed in the future
  • Ordering and delivery options
  • Coexistence, migration, fall-back and service policies
  • Driving and target system requirements for both software and hardware
  • Communications Server, Distributed File Server (DFS), DFSMS, language environment and z/OS UNIX® System Services

Speakers: Gita Grube Berg, IBM z/OS Marketing, and Marna Walle, IBM z/OS System Build and Install Team

This teleconference will also be available for replay after the event.
