z/OSMF - Using Software Management & Software Update


This new one-day course, 40%of which comprises hands-on lab exercises, teaches how to install z/OS, software products and maintenance.
This knowlede is necessary because, since z/OS 2.5, all new software products and z/OS need to use z/OSMF to install the software. This makes this course essential for all those who will be doing this in the future. As this is a replacement for ServerPac, the theory behind ServerPac will also be explained.
