The Mainframe Environment

Course description

In this course, students are introduced to the key concepts and principles that are applicable to a variety of mainframe operating systems. Mainframe operating systems are discussed in relationship to specific hardware architectures and applications. In the lab, user interfaces, tools and utilities, application development, and the runtime environment are explored. Students develop an understanding of the complex relationships required in a mainframe operating system to support user processes. The impact of the use of mainframe systems in reducing power consumption in data centres are discussed.

Students registering for credit courses for the first time must declare a program at the point of registration. Declaring a program does not necessarily mean students must complete a program, individual courses may be taken for skill improvement and upgrading.
