Hilario, Despite the off-topic comments, you have a legitimate request. And I suspect that over the next couple of years, there will be similar requests on this forum from other new sysprogs. Before you can function as a system programmer, you will need to become familiar with the mainframe. I have a link on my website for a couple of z/OS 101 Primers - http://www.watsonwalker.com/articles.html, which is one place you can start. For you, one of the best will be the Redbook called the P/390: OS/390 New User's Cookbook - SG24-4757 - http://www.redbooks.ibm.com/abstracts/sg244757.html?Open. This was developed for a developer's machine in 1999, but it is quite handy for a new sysprog. By using the links provided in responses to your question and the links in my primer, you should have a good start on learning the mainframe.
With that in hand, however, the task of migrating from z/OS 1.7 to z/OS 1.11 is almost an impossible task without some experienced help. No matter what country you're in, you can probably locate someone who can help you remotely, and I think you'll need that. Depending on the size of your current installation, you might well have a better chance of success with installing z/OS 1.11 in a separate LPAR and slowly move the libraries and user to the new machine. If you go this route, try to use IBM's defaults whenever possible, rather than create new and difficult to manage naming standards. My best advice is to get your vendor, IBM or 3rd party, to get you started.

I have no time to attend training and in my country there are no planned training courses for not having enough workers to justify the course. Some of you you can tell me if there are training manuals or the can makes me get my email on the following topics: - Installing Z / OS - SMPE - SMS - RACF - USS - HFS - CICS - IMS / DB - REXX and CLIST - JES2 - VSAM - DB2 I have manuals that IBM would need is if someone has information that can help me (types of training books or notes). Thank you very much.
