Gee Chris- that description sounds very familiar. You need the parts about Walking on Water, Dealing with Products that are not Performance Related, and Keeping up on new z/Architectures that improve performance. You may also have to add Java Workloads, z/Linux Environments that may interact with the z/OS image and have performance implications.

Interesting. > Are such things deemed "corporate confidential" these days ???. How about z/OS tuning expert: Working knowledge of IBM zArchitecture hardware and I/O architectures, z/OS operating system, plus major subsystems including CICS, IMS, DB2, Websphere etc. Demonstrated knowledge of WLM, data collection and performance tools such as RMF or equivalent. Working knowledge of IBM and OEM processor and I/O subsystem capacities and capabilities and a demonstrated ability to adequately size equipment to satisfy business service level and availability requirements within narrow fiscal constraints. Demonstrated ability to work with disparate groups and interpret their business and technical requirements from runes, chicken entrails and hallway anecdotes. Demonstrated ability to (find!!) and navigate through IWMARIN0 and successfully translate said anecdotal information into positional columnar input that resembles the chicken entrails and doesn't bring the system to its knees. Cat-herding skills a strong plus. (Too much?) :-) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
