Mainview Sc Training Sept 2012 - Day 2

The correct answer is z/OS Communications Server. This is IBM's implementation of SNA (VTAM) and standard TCPIP protocol on the z/OS platform. It provides the necessary communication services for applications running on the z/OS system, allowing them to interact with other systems and networks. The z/OS Communications Server includes various components and features that enable reliable and secure communication, such as TCP/IP, FTP, Telnet, and SNA protocols. It is a critical component for networking and connectivity in the z/OS environment.

The correct answer is 3.2.00.

The Mainview for IP 3.2 release did not include the addition of APPN Extended Border Nodes.

The correct answer is OMPROUTE. OMPROUTE is the address space used to issue OSPF (Open Shortest Path First) commands. OSPF is a routing protocol used in IP networks to determine the best path for data packets to travel. OMPROUTE is specifically used for managing and configuring OSPF routing within a network.

RTCS stands for Real-Time Control System. Based on the given options, all three products mentioned (MVDB2, Apptune, and Pool Advisor) require RTCS. Therefore, the correct answer is "All of the above."

The current GA release of Mainview for CICS is 6.4.00.

The mainview for IP is a tool that displays VTAM session data and PIO tracing data. This means that it provides information about the sessions established between VTAM (Virtual Telecommunications Access Method) and the applications running on IP (Internet Protocol). Additionally, it also shows the tracing data related to PIO (Parallel Input/Output) operations, which can help in troubleshooting and monitoring the performance of IP connections. Therefore, the statement "Mainview for IP displays VTAM session data and PIO tracing data" is true.

The statement is false because ziiP (z Integrated Information Processor) is a feature of IBM z Systems mainframes that offloads certain workloads to a specialized processor. It does not offload a specific percentage of code, but rather offloads specific types of workloads, such as Java and XML processing. Therefore, it is incorrect to say that 50% of our code will be offloaded to ziiP with ziiP enabled for MainView CICS.

CPM stands for Capacity Provisioning Manager. It is a z/OS facility that was added in CMF 5.8 and MainView for z/OS 3.0. CPM is responsible for managing and provisioning the capacity of processors in a z/OS environment. It helps in optimizing the performance and utilization of the central processors by dynamically allocating and adjusting resources based on workload demands.

The new facility for creating JCL and Control Cards to run Analyzer batch jobs in CMF 5.7 is called "The CMF JCL Builder".

The correct answer is October 2013; v11.1 with maintenance. This is because the question is asking for the expected G/A (General Availability) date of DB2 Sequoia and the version of the DB2 products that will support it. According to the given options, the expected G/A date for DB2 Sequoia is October 2013, and the version of the DB2 products that will support it is v11.1 with maintenance.

In CMF 5.9 and MainView for z/OS 3.1, support for z/OS Unix System Services (USS) data was added. This means that these versions of the software are capable of collecting and analyzing information about USS zSeries File Systems. This allows users to monitor and manage the performance and usage of USS file systems on the z/OS operating system.

The JTCB view introduced in MainView for z/OS 2.8 was enhanced in 3.1 to move address space data to the view header area. This enhancement allows for better organization and efficiency in accessing and managing address space data within the JTCB view. By moving the data to the header area, it becomes more easily accessible and can be processed more efficiently, resulting in improved performance and reduced CPU time.

LGC brings the most important value by providing a standard repository for installation options and supporting standardized XML configuration. This allows for better support in deployment processes, ensuring consistency and efficiency.

In CMF 5.9, the new view type added was LPAR.

RTCS brings the biggest value to the customer by providing seamless failover for registries used across SYSPLEX members. This means that in the event of a failure or outage, the system automatically switches to a backup registry without any interruption or loss of service. This ensures continuous availability and reliability of the registry services, which is crucial for the customer's operations.

The current GA version of MainView for CICS will support tracing long running tasks with additional PTFs. This means that tracing long running tasks is not supported out of the box with the base GA code, but it can be enabled by applying additional PTFs.

With TS 5.1, programs can take advantage of 64-bit storage, but only if they are written in ASM (Assembly Language). This means that programs written in other languages, such as COBAL, will not be able to utilize the 64-bit storage capabilities provided by TS 5.1.

The correct answer is "Support common storage data written in comma separated value format." This means that in MainView SYSPROG Services 3.7, the CSMON component has been enhanced to handle common storage data that is written in a comma separated value format. This allows for easier and more efficient processing and analysis of the common storage data within the CSMON component.

JVMSERVER support was added under CICS Transaction Server release TS 4.2.

The correct answer includes three options: DB2 Sequoia ESP support, Improved package level reporting, and A new NGL component with improved zIIP and compression capabilities. These three components are part of the System Performance for DB2 v11.1 release.

All the DB2 products will support the DB2 Sequoia ESP program. This means that all the different products within the DB2 family, including MVDB2, will be compatible with and able to support the DB2 Sequoia ESP program.

The primary values provided by NGL include automated goal-based dataset allocation and setup, which helps in efficient management of datasets. It also uses media manager to provide fast I/O, ensuring quick and efficient data transfer. Additionally, NGL is very scalable and can be easily used with high capacity requirements, making it suitable for large-scale operations.

The correct answer is "Will begin testing with key customers in 2013." This suggests that Apptune is not currently available in MV/Explorer, but it will be tested with key customers in 2013. This implies that there are plans to make Apptune available in the future, but it is not yet ready for release.

The DBC brings important values to the customer by exploiting zIIP engines, exploiting 64-bit storage and other 'Z' technology, and being set up in a way to make deployment easier.
