A Different Way to Perform z/OS Maintenance

Project and Program: MVS, MVS Core Technologies

Tags: Proceedings, SHARE in Anaheim 2012, 2012

You've seen the Successful Maintenance Practices presentations at SHARE in Orlando and Atlanta so why another one? There's a different way to look at Unix file systems, maintain an active monoplex system, and use Big Volumes to simplify your approach to z/OS service APPLY and roll-out. Why keep a separate SMP/E volume or DLIB volume? Do you need a multi-volume SYSRES? What's the big deal about separating Unix file systems from the rest of SYSRES? Why not APPLY service to a running system? Join Ed Webb of SAS as he reports on the current methodologies he uses to maintain and rollout z/OS based on his 40 years of MVS experience.
