The
role of the System and File Manager is critical with
new software releases. They need to know not only what
features and functions are new but also how they will
enhance, improve and impact the environment. Model 204
V5R1 is loaded with changes and improvements that will
affect the System and File Manager's jobs. This class
will go into detail on each change and improvement and
live demonstrations will be used to reinforce topics
where appropriate. Topics for in-depth training session
include:
v Recovery
v Nonstop/204
v Freeway/204
v The
In Storage feature
v Performance
enhancements
v Commands
and wait types for ECF
v New
$functions
v Compatibility
issues
v Changes
to user-written functions
v Installation

This
course will walk through the step-by-step process
of conducting an installation of a new release of
Model 204 and the Dictionary. This process will include unloading the tape,
providing the correct values for the parms that generate
the JCL, generating the JCL and finally executing
each job to complete the installation. For the individual that has not performed a
Model 204 installation before, this class will clear
up the confusion of SVC's, authorizing the loadlib,
installing CRAM, when an IPL is necessary and other
system programmer mysteries that may trip up a new
system manager who is now responsible for installing
M204. Installation in all three operating systems
(OS, VM and VSE) will be covered.

Programmers'
Track
| Advanced
Model 204 V5R1 Topics for Programmers |

| Two
major enhancements were made for programmers that
adds new capability to Model 204.
The first one is the External Call Facility. This facility allows User Language Procedures to execute external
modules such as COBOL, FORTRAN or C programs.
The second enhancement is the new functions
$POST, $WAIT, $UNPOST, $ECBDGET, $ECBDSET and $ECBTEST.
These functions allow the programmer to coordinate
the processing of multiple User language procedures
as well as coordinate the execution of online and
batch jobs. Thread signaling and synchronization are
examples of this and will also be discussed in the
class. Performance improvements, compatibility
issues and XREF support for block comments will also
be covered. |

| Connecting
with the Power: Exploring Connect* and JDBC for Model 204 |
|
Because
it is one of the fastest and most powerful databases
on the market, Model 204 is the perfect server for
new generation applications - and the connectivity
options keep getting better and better. This workshop
explores the various tools available for integrating
Model 204 data and applications with other environments
to build sophisticated Web-based and client/server
systems. Topics to be discussed include:
- Getting
started with each available connectivity tool
- Supported
platforms
- Comparison
and contrasting of the connectivity tools
- Sample
applications
