Dates/Times - - All webinars are on Wednesdays at 11:00am Eastern, unless otherwise noted
Our webinars vary from 30 minutes to one hour. After each webinar, Peter Enrico and Scott Chapman will be available for a post-webinar Q and A.
The following webinar was presented in conjunction with SHARE
z15 to z16 to z17 – What has changed? ..... May 20th ..... Sign up has ended. Please see Our Presentations page if you would like to download a copy of the presentation slides
Many customers will only upgrade their mainframe machines every other generation. This can make it easier to miss changes that happened in the interim generation. In this webinar, Scott Chapman will discuss the differences and new capabilities for both the z16 and z17, relative to the z15. Some brief discussion of prior generations may occur as well. If you’re considering a machine upgrade to the current z17 generation, then this webinar will be a good overview of some of the new features and capabilities that upgrade might afford you.
The following webinar is presented in conjunction with Enterprise Systems Media
Evaluating Latent Demand in the Mainframe Environment ..... June 17th ..... Sign up will be posted soon, please check back later
In the world of computers, you can think of latent demand as the demand for resources that cannot be met due to constraints. Workloads want to use the resources and have demand for those resources, but the environment does not have the ability to satisfy the demand. During this presentation, Peter Enrico will discuss the measurement and evaluation of latent demand in the mainframe environment. So, if you have a system that is being capped, weight enforced, or if your processor is just out of capacity, you will want to attend this session.
Managing Workload Manager: Multiple Sysplexes and Asymmetric Sysplexes ..... July 8th ..... Sign up using this link
Using WLM to manage the performance of your z/OS workloads is of course a huge topic. But we sometimes get asked about the more pedestrian, but equally
important, part of how you manage your WLM policies when you have multiple sysplexes. Should each plex have its own separate policy or should you have
one policy that you copy between plexes? What are the implications of those different answers? Somewhat related are the issues that arise when you have
a sysplex that has asymmetric systems: systems with different access to capacity or maybe even run on quite different hardware.
If either of those situations
apply to your environment, then this webinar presented by Scott Chapman may give you some new ideas for how to handle those sometimes “sharp” edges of
that situation.
Introduction to z Processor Measurements ..... July 22nd ..... Sign up using this link
On the z platform, there are more processor measurements than any other computing platform. What are all these processor measurements actually measuring, where do they come from, and how can they be used? During this presentation, Peter Enrico will introduce to you the many processor measurements available and show you how many of them can be used during any processor performance analysis or capacity planning exercise.
