The z/TPF Development Lab is posting a series of educational videos originally recorded during our 2020 z/TPF Customer Internship. Featuring a number of topics spanning the product portfolio, our z/TPF Internship videos are an excellent entry point for new TPFers learning the operating system, as well as a thorough refresher for experienced practitioners. All videos will be collected in the "z/TPF Internship" playlist on our MediaCenter channel.

This video features an introduction to the system characteristics of z/TPF. You will learn about some of the unique characteristics of our operating system, including Entry Control Blocks (ECBs), message processing and flows, memory configuration, and main storage management.

Once you've watched the video, you can access further information about the concepts and structures of z/TPF on IBM Documentation. You can also access a PDF of this presentation from our IBM Community Library.
