At share there was an IBMer who was requesting what classes we need for mainframe. So we provided a large list.
Also, there will be in the Share.org Proceedings section some good Handouts on Sysplex Trouble shooting, GRS and a couple of other interesting areas You may wish (if you are a ember) to download them and see if they can help.

However, it was removed from the class. A victim of too much information in the 5 day period. I recommend the following: http://www.slideshare.net/ggddggddggdd/parallel-sysplex-implement2 http://www.redbooks.ibm.com/redbooks/pdfs/sg246485.pdf http://www.redbooks.ibm.com/redbooks/pdfs/sg246523.pdf http://www.redbooks.ibm.com/redbooks/pdfs/sg247817.pdf Paul Newton IBM Software & Systems -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:IBM-MAIN@LISTSERV.UA.EDU] On Behalf Of Art Gutowski Sent: Friday, August 10, 2012 8:54 AM To: IBM-MAIN@LISTSERV.UA.EDU Subject: Re: Parallel Sysplex Online Training >http://www.interskill.com/course-catalog/Related-Parallel-Sysplex.html That looks pretty basic, perhaps not much new to the OP from reading his posts thus far. I am suspect of any online training beyond a rudimentary understanding. A key component of the Parallel Sysplex Implementation course is lab exercises. Though I took only the Implementation course, the same is true for the Operations and Recovery courses. "It's not a matter of how he grasps the husk, it's a simple matter of weight ratios." Sorry...it's Friday. I believe the difficulty lies not in proximity, but rather to logistics and capacity. To wit, many operate their systems remotely, and indeed it does not matter whether it is 5m or 500Km. The issue lies in coordinating an online course with machine time. Not saying it cannot be done, but it is likely cost-prohibitive, perhaps to the point of washing out any savings in travel costs. If you really want to learn it and be able to support your organization, you must insist that management send you to class (I have seen Parallel Sysplex courses hosted in Europe and elsewhere), or bring the class to you (which is only practical if you have a large enough staff or you can share the cost with other companies in your region). If they won't relent, well, it might be time to find a boss who sets you (and them) up for success rather than failure. Just sayin...
