AUDIENCE:   This course is designed for system programmers who will be responsible for implementing TCP/IP on z/OS. PREREQUISITES:   Delegates are expected to be familiar with: TCP/IP, which may be obtained from our Understanding TCP/IP course. z/OS, which may be obtained from our z/OS for Beginners course. TSO/ISPF, which may be obtained from our TSO/ISPF workshop course. UNIX Services on z/OS, which may be obtained from our Introduction to UNIX Services on z/OS course. General UNIX user facilities, which may be obtained from our UNIX The Essentials course. DURATION:   3 days. OBJECTIVES:   The course will provide delegates with detailed implementation plan for the implementation of TCP/IP. During which they will be involved with exercises which involve configuring a TCP/IP stack on z/OS including a network interface, telnet and ftp.
