We've recently placed on the web ( http://www.redbooks.ibm.com/redbooks.nsf/pages/IBMIEAV22avail?Open ) new materials associated with z/OS V2.2. If you're not familiar with IBM Education Assistance (not to be confused with IBM Education Assistant), these are modules that can give you "soup to nuts" information on a specific new function in z/OS. Or, it might contain all the enhancements in a specific component for z/OS V2.2.
It's a great place to go shopping for new functions that might interest you in z/OS V2.2. All enhancements are sorted by interest area to help you find an enhancement that may appeal to you: Availability, Scalability & Performance, Usability & z/OSMF, Industry & Open Standards, Security, Networking, and Installation & Migration. We've got approximately 100 modules available, so there's something for everyone. The modules are usually provided in PDF format. They all follow a template to make them easily understood. The template looks like: Overview, Usage & Invocation, Interactions & Dependencies, Migration & Coexistence Considerations, and Installation. We hope that this material will help you discover and use new z/OS functions in a easy way. Of course, this information is supplemental to the official publications, but with this information sliced "horizontally" across books, it may be able to see the larger picture from these modules than reading in just one book. I welcome any feedback on the IBM Education Assistance for z/OS! -Marna WALLE z/OS System Installation, IBM Poughkeepsie ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
