IBM Basic z/OS Tuning Using the Workload Manager (ES54G)

Official IBM course



This training course is designed for new performance analysts to learn how to work with Workload Manager (WLM) in objective mode, to discover the concepts of WLM and performance management in the z/OS system using WLM. In this course, you will learn how to analyze Resource Monitoring Facility (RMF) reports and implement service definitions using the WLM Interactive System Productivity Facility (ISPF) application. You'll also get the chance to put the concepts and techniques you've learned into practice, thanks to a wide range of practical exercises.
