Re: Cannot reach the outside world
Well said my friend Bill Munson Sr. z/VM Systems Programmer Brown Brothers Harriman CO. 525 Washington Blvd. Jersey City, NJ 07310 201-418-7588 Mike Walter mike.wal...@hewitt.com Sent by: The IBM z/VM Operating System IBMVM@LISTSERV.UARK.EDU 07/01/2010 06:31 PM Please respond to The IBM z/VM Operating System IBMVM@LISTSERV.UARK.EDU To IBMVM@LISTSERV.UARK.EDU cc Subject Re: Cannot reach the outside world Daniel, From previous posts is appears that your immediate fire has been extinguished. But you also asked: also, is there a quick and dirty guide to z/VM? I'm from the distributed world, and would like a quick reference.. unfortunately answers arent as easy to find on the internet about z/VM as they are about windows or linux or any of the myriad other unixes i've worked on; sort of a short and to the point book like the exam cram type or perhaps An idiots guide to z/VM. Let's turn that question around. I, along with many subscribers to this list have decades of learning, classes, conferences, and day-to-day hands-on experience with z/VM - since before it was even called z/VM, some going back to VM 370. We're being encouraged to learn Linux. Many of us have asked similar questions about Linux (or Unix, or Windows, or Solaris, or Apple, or ... well, you get the idea). For some of those there are certainly xxx for Dummies books. But none of those are a substitute for getting one's hands dirty looking through the manuals. Those of use who live and breath all things VM are used to outstanding IBM documentation - the envy of every other software supplier. We look at the Dummies manuals and ask ourselves: why is this xxx manual so hard so read, and understand!? IBM has raised the bar, and our expectations; some ISVs hear regularly from VM'ers who demand better documentation. BTW, I do not consider the output of the 'man' command a very good way to start at the beginning, at least not after having experienced IBM pubs. For a very fast start, ask your management to send you to SHARE in Boston this August 1-5, 2010 (you'll have to register soon, see: www.share.org). You'll rub shoulders with some of the best VM'ers (and MVS'ers, and...) in the world, including customers, ISV developers, and IBM developers. SHARE is time and money extraordinarily well spent, especially for those new to VM. There are also formal IBM education classes, as well as classes by several other providers. VM'ers have a well-earned reputation of being the friendliest (no flames) and most welcoming of all OS supporters. Visit the IBM VM home page for suggestions of both IBM and non-IBM provided training opportunities: http://www.vm.ibm.com/education/ Otherwise, read the outstanding IBM pubs. There are several IBM web sites for publications. My personal favorite means is to go to http://www.vm.ibm.com/pubs/ From there I choose the PDF version of manuals I want and download them to my laptop. Being a throwback to the olden days, I print the ones which I reference regularly and use Post-it's to mark pages for quick reference as I use them. Print them all and you can easily be responsible for destroying a small forest all by yourself. To get started, I'd recommend downloading and : - z/VM General Information - z/VM Guide for Automated Installation and Service - z/VM CP Planning and Administration - z/VM CMS Planning and Administration - z/VM Connectivity - z/VM CP Commands and Utilities Reference - z/VM CMS Commands and Utilities Reference - z/VM CMS Primer - z/VM XEDIT User's Guide - z/VM XEDIT Commands and Macros Reference - z/VM REXX/VM User's Guide - z/VM REXX/VM Reference - z/VM CMS User's Guide - z/VM Pipelines User's Guide - z/VM Pipelines Reference - z/VM Service Guide - z/VM VMSES/E Introduction and Reference Those will give you a good start, and they are FREE! You're probably saying to yourself: that's a LOT of manuals!!! But wait! There are more, many more! z/VM is a full-fledged mainframe system with many, many facilities. Everything is well-documented (well, there are some less than transparent TCP/IP messages about which we grumble occasionally). Welcome to z/VM! Once you get past the initial deer-in-the-headlights phase, you're gonna love it! Mike Walter Hewitt Associates The opinions expressed herein are mine alone, not my employer's.
