The next meeting of the NY Metro NaSPA Chapter will be on Tuesday, 2 March 2010 in room 1219 at the IBM Building at 590 Madison Avenue, New York City, from 10:00 AM until 4:30 PM. We have a full-day of great sessions planned, including:
"An Introduction to LDAP on z/OS", Jon Furminger, LDAP Development, IBM The Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) is one of the most popular protocols that an application can use for the storage and retrieval of information. Many clients have successfully deployed z/OS for networked applications. In this session, we cover: What is LDAP, an overview of the IBM Tivoli Directory Server (IBM TDS) for z/OS and its data stores, the authentication mechanisms supported by the IBM TDS for z/OS, how to store and access data in RACF including custom fields using LDAP, and how to use the IBM TDS to log changes made to RACF users, groups, connections, and resource profiles. "Solving the Enterprise Systems Skill Problem", Angelo Corridori, Marist College Marist College has had a long and active relationship with IBM and mainframes since the mid 1980s, a collaboration which includes not only integrating the mainframe in the curriculum and management of the school, but also a large provider of System z education and certification, Marist College has developed an Enterprise Systems Certificate program to address the need for z/OS skills. This worldwide program is designed to educate personnel new to System z and z/OS as well as those with some experience. This session provides an overview of the existing and planned courses of study in the program and describes the course delivery, student feedback and assessment of the classes, student demographics, program costs, and an overview of enterprises that have used the program. We will also cover the z/OS Advisory Board, use of online class materials in the undergraduate curricula, and the Enterprise Computing Community National Science Foundation Grant if time permits. "Migrating to z/OS V1R11", Marna Walle, IBM Want to know what you need to do to migrate your systems to the latest release of z/OS? This session covers planning for your z/OS 1.11 migration and several important z/OS migration actions that you will encounter. This session is of interest to System Programmers and their managers who are migrating to z/OS 1.11 from either z/OS 1.9 or z/OS 1.10. Pre-registration is requested and recommended as it simplifies getting into the building and helps us get the room set up correctly. Please RSVP to mar...@us.ibm.com as soon as is possible if you are thinking of attending. The meeting is open to non-NaSPA members and is free. Please pass this invitation on to your colleagues!
