So, what do IMS system programmers actually do?
Quite a bit, but this course will describe those activities and what it takes to install, run, and maintain an IBM® IMS™ system.
This intermediate course is all about the tasks and responsibilities of the IBM® IMS™ system programmer. You'll learn about IMS architecture, packaging, database and transaction management, locking, logging, shared queues, data sharing, connectivity to other subsystems, and more.
This 13-hour course is for IMS system programmers who need to install, configure, maintain, and support an IBM IMS database and transaction management system.
