This course is essential for all those who have responsibility for the support and maintenance of IMS DB and IMS and IMS TM technical environments. Covering both IMS on-line operations and support functions, the course provides comprehensive cross-training for systems support specialists from parallel disciplines such as z/OS, CICS, or Db2.

Attendees will learn effective IMS system administration, based on a comprehensive insight into the structure and function of the IMS processes and resources, together with the parameters and operator commands that control them.

Typical problems are outlined, emphasizing the identification of the appropriate skills and the utility procedures required to resolve them. Exercises reinforce the formal theory sessions.

Following this course, attendees will be able to provide standby support to their IMS colleagues (following an overview of the standards, conventions, and procedures that are used in their own IMS department).
