"The z/OS V1R9 Goody Bag", Bob Rogers, z/OS Designer/Philosopher: This session covers some of the goodies that have been included in the BCP and related elements of z/OS in the most recent releases. Topics include supporting up to 4 Terabytes of real storage, enhancements to GRS for availability and scaling, Workload Manager (WLM) and SDSF enhancements for IBM System z Application Assist Processor (zAAP) engines, and other important items found in z/OS 1.9 or elsewhere. "Getting Started with Message Flood Automation", Kevin Kelley, z/OS Core Components Development: Message Flood Automation is a new function within z/OS Console support. It was introduced in November 2006 in APAR OA17514 for z/OS R6, R7 and R8. It was made part of the z/OS base in z/OS R9. Message Flood Automation is designed to protect z/OS systems from message floods caused by failing devices and errant programs. This presentation will provide an overview of Message Flood Automation and provide rationale for why you might want to use it. The speaker is one of the creators of Message Flood Automation and a long-time designer of z/OS console support. "Presenting the z/OS LDAP Server", Jon Furminger, z/OS LDAP Development: In the first part of this presentation we'll look at the basic elements of the LDAP protocol, and how z/OS LDAP authenticates users and controls access to the information in the z/OS LDAP directories. In the second part, we will describe the many advantages of using LDAP on z/OS.
