When I first turned up at share I had the opportunity to chair the IPCS talk 
for Jerry Ng - he had done it several times prior and I had always downloaded 
it for reference. Paper only, way before the interactive sessions.
The IPCS manuals are handy references, but hardly instructional - have a look 
at the Diag Tools ans Service Aids for some IPCS/dump intro. Getting the right 
data is as important as analysing it.
When I started at Amdahl I was able to sit in on customer classes for no fee if 
and when they were being run out here - MVS Internals and Diag Techniques were 
what I jumped at. Several others on this list probably did likewise in the 
"old" days. These days you'll have to just pull bits together where-ever you 
can find them and spend some quality time getting up to speed.
Is your manager prepared to invest in your time ?. Hopefully so.
