Planning MVS operations

Managing the operation of z/OS in today's data processing environment has become increasingly important. Operators need to learn new skills and manage more z/OS functions as installations grow in their computing power. Single MVS™ systems are becoming part of multisystem environments with new demands on the management of the hardware, software, and people required to run those systems. To monitor MVS and to respond to system changes and problems make operations planning more important than ever before.

In order to make decisions about MVS operations planning, you need to understand:
  • The operations goals of your installation
  • The operating environment and how it will affect those goals.
