Hi Marna,
I did have a look at some presentations a while ago. Very helpful, so please do 
keep this going.Some presentions are a little sparse. Some more comment would 
be helpful.

Hello IBM-MAINers,
I wanted to ask about the usefulness of the IBM Education Assistance (IEA) for 
z/OS.

A little background:  IEA is found here:
http://www.redbooks.ibm.com/redbooks.nsf/pages/IBMIEAV22avail?Open and provides 
concise and technical information about a specific function introduced in z/OS. 
 For instance, there is a module there for Dynamic
Logrec in z/OS V2.2.It is intended to be a "one stop shopping"
location for new enhancements in a z/OS release.  Of course, all information 
can also be found in the appropriate z/OS books.  We've had IEA for both z/OS 
V2.1 and V2.2.

My questions are:
1)  is this is still a good way to provide this information to you?
2) with all the other ways to learn about new functions, is IEA still needed by 
you?
3) are there particular topics in IEA that you like and want to continue to see 
in the future?  if so, which ones?

Thanks in advance for any opinions you'd like to share.

Re: IBM Education Assistance for z/OS - Useful??

2016-10-13 Thread Mike Wawiorko
Marna,

I've had a look at this and so have a couple of my colleagues who support z/OS 
Communications Server and related software.

1)  is this is still a good way to provide this information to you?
Yes - we all agree on this

2) with all the other ways to learn about new functions, is IEA still needed by 
you?
It is good to have all this in one place.
The z/OS Comms Server New Function Summary has similar information but the 
presentation gets the main points across better and more succinctly. 

3) are there particular topics in IEA that you like and want to continue to see 
in the future?  if so, which ones?
Keep up the good work.

The main point I'd make is to publicise the existence of IBM Education 
Assistance for z/OS more widely.

From the users point of view we all need to make sure we are aware of the 
sources of information in manuals, presentations like IEA for z/OS, Share, IBM 
Support sites etc. We should all make time to look at them and judge what's 
right in new function for our organisations. IBM add new functions for good 
reasons.

Hello IBM-MAINers,
I wanted to ask about the usefulness of the IBM Education Assistance (IEA) for 
z/OS.

A little background:  IEA is found here:  
http://www.redbooks.ibm.com/redbooks.nsf/pages/IBMIEAV22avail?Open and provides 
concise and technical information about a specific function introduced in z/OS. 
 For instance, there is a module there for Dynamic Logrec in z/OS V2.2.It 
is intended to be a "one stop shopping" location for new enhancements in a z/OS 
release.  Of course, all information can also be found in the appropriate z/OS 
books.  We've had IEA for both z/OS V2.1 and V2.2.

My questions are:
1)  is this is still a good way to provide this information to you?
2) with all the other ways to learn about new functions, is IEA still needed by 
you?
3) are there particular topics in IEA that you like and want to continue to see

Marne:
1. Yes!
2. Yes!
3.  A better way to config an IOCP

No remote learning. I went to one and after 1 day asked for the money to be 
refunded.
I have given classes and the *ONLY* way to figure out if your getting the point 
across is to look at the faces of the students. 
Don’t hire instructors that are inflexible. I had several over the years and if 
you contradict what is in the handouts and you prove it, the instructor should 
be prepared to take corrections in the course.

Hello IBM-MAINers,
I wanted to ask about the usefulness of the IBM Education Assistance (IEA) for 
z/OS.

A little background:  IEA is found here:  
http://www.redbooks.ibm.com/redbooks.nsf/pages/IBMIEAV22avail?Open and provides concise 
and technical information about a specific function introduced in z/OS.  For instance, 
there is a module there for Dynamic Logrec in z/OS V2.2.It is intended to be a 
"one stop shopping" location for new enhancements in a z/OS release.  Of 
course, all information can also be found in the appropriate z/OS books.  We've had IEA 
for both z/OS V2.1 and V2.2.

My questions are:
1)  is this is still a good way to provide this information to you?
2) with all the other ways to learn about new functions, is IEA still needed by 
you?
3) are there particular topics in IEA that you like and want to continue to see 
in the future?  if so, which ones?


I know it and it's useful for me.
I treat it as "another source of SHARE presentations" - the format and 
content are quite similar.

This is good idea to keep it.
However I see some risk for the future: navigation. The more 
presentations will be the more complex task will be to find relevant 
topic. I don't know good solution for that, maybe except google-like 
search.
BTW: The presentations usually DON'T get outdated - if you STILL don't 
know the feature XYZ introduced in z/OS "8 years old", the presentation 
about it usually will still be very interesting for you.

I can only speak for myself, but I had no knowledge that IEA even 
existed. I've now skimmed a few of the presentations and they look useful.


The page referenced by your link shows only 2.2 items. I don't see any 
benefit to removing items for all but the latest release.
