Nice course, just did this one today. Very well paced.

Probably will try z/TPF task management next.

I love the content and the way this course is structured.

Anyone new to zTPF can understand the content and will greately help in the understanding of the underlying system and process.

Thanks for your feedback, Hemanth! We're glad you liked the course content and structure, and appreciate you taking the time send us your thoughts.

doesn't seem like we get a badge upon course completion?

No, you just get the Certificate of Completion ... now you know how I spent my New Year's Eve :)

:) studying on new year's eve? Looks like a new year's resolution and hope the drive stays for rest of the year!

I want to know more depth of z/TPF programs. 

Flat file: I/O (using FILEC, etc), how these are stored and managed by ECB and applcation programs

TPFDF: how they are organized and stored, what are the levels in a TPFDF object, how are the records accessed (read, write, update, delete)

Didn't seem like these topics are covered in the Task Management course.

Is there a place where I can learn these z/TPF topics?

Hello,

I have one query/feedback for ECB process model. 

Parallel ECB process model and Thread model sounds similar as a process model, Can you please provide more information on what context these two are different? 

Thanks,

Karthik

Hi Karthik, 

Thank you for the question! 

In the parallel ECB model, each created ECB is a separate process where nothing is shared.  In the Thread model, each ECB that represents a thread are tied together into a single process that shares heap storage. 

Hope this helps.  Please post any additional questions.

Do you have any course that talks about the file recoup process and and share the latest zTPF POP document?

We don't have an education course on Recoup.  Our documentation does provide a description of the various phases of Recoup and what each does:  https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/ztpf/latest?topic=recoup-functions-by-phase

I'm not sure I understand what you mean by "latest zTPF POP"?   Are you looking for what are the latest updates to the product?  Or are you looking for an architecture document that covers the entire system?  If you are looking for "what's new" there is a section in our documentation that lists and provides pointers to the latest enhancements:  https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/ztpf/latest?topic=2024-whats-new

If you are looking for a published architecture document that covers the entire z/TPF system, unfortunately, that does not exist.  The only thing I could offer is this Red Book, which contains architectural information about the system in the context of modernization:  https://www.redbooks.ibm.com/abstracts/redp5714.html

By "POP", did you mean Principles of Operations (PoPs)?  If that's the case, z/TPF is built on the IBM z/Architecture and the latest Principles of Operations (z16) can be found here:  https://publibfp.dhe.ibm.com/epubs/pdf/a227832d.pdf

My other guess is z/TPF Concepts and Structures.  The latest can be found using the link below and then navigating to z/TPF 2024->Library->Concepts and structures in the menu on the left side.
