Does anyone on the list use Workload Simulator for testing, load testing,

Wayne,

You might want to ping your old landlord Alan offline. He's our expert on the floor. He's globe trotting around Europe with
his family at the mo.

I've been asked to possibly run a course and develop coursework on WSIM.

Since IBM outsourced all their training, it appears that this one isn't
covered.

Was there ever a formal training course for this product?

Folks:

What you want is an automated tool that can modify the batch executables
"on the fly" for each environment.  If you have a change control tool like
ISPW, SYSChange, Endevor or ChangeMan, it is pretty straightforward to set
up rules through an automated JCL management tool such as J-Man from
Visiant Arcares (www.visiantarcares.com).  Through an easy to define set
of rules, the user can cause the batch processes (even the automated
updating of the scheduling nets when moving to production) to mirror the
appropriate libraries, naming conventions, test environments, etc.  And, as
Chris says, "what ever runs in production, you're going to need a copy of
it in testing."  This can also be automated if you have one of the change
tools described above and the appropriate JCL management solutions, such as
J-Man.

Chris, this could be a way to multiply yourself!    :o)

well, whatever runs in production, you're going to need a copy of it in
esting.
sually means a lot of batch and then testing the onlines/applications' user
ccess.
  found it always helped to keep a testbed of data for batch/db's, then
write an
utomated batch job scheduler that edits all the JCL and control cards so
that
hey point to testing libraries/files instead of production, plus remove
all the
roc steps that you don't want to run (emails, data xfers, etc.).
adly, there aren't enough of me to go around...

Can anybody tell me about Mainframe testing, what are the tools are used
or Mainframe system testing
