A combined programme on two core system-programming skills: installing and maintaining software with SMP/E and securing z/OS with RACF. Learners practise receiving, applying and accepting service, working with HOLDDATA, and managing users, groups, dataset and resource profiles and audit settings. A strong fit for new system programmers and security administrators in enterprise environments.
