IBM Mainframe

IBM mainframes contain about 70% of corporate data from operations like accounting, payroll, and billing. They are often used as database servers in web-enabled applications. Mainframe systems use operating systems like z/OS and utilities like JCL, VSAM, TSO, ISPF, CICS, and DB2. Mainframes are suitable for applications requiring large-scale transaction processing, supporting thousands of users concurrently accessing resources, managing terabytes of data, and handling large data communication. Over 90% of Fortune 500 companies use mainframes, especially for applications in banking, insurance, and other industries involving interactive transactions.

(accounting, payroll, billing, etc.) Often the database server in web-enabled database applications

Modules covered in Mainframe:


Z/OS: z/OS is a 64-bit operating system for mainframe

computers, produced by IBM JCL: Job Control Language is a scripting language used on IBM mainframe operating systems to instruct the system on how to run a batch job or start a subsystem. JCL uses a number of IBM utility programs to assist in the processing of data. Utilities are most useful in batch processing. VSAM: Virtual storage access method (VSAM) an IBM disk file storage access method

TSO: Time Sharing Option (TSO) is an interactive time

sharing environment for IBM mainframe operating systems ISPF: Interactive System Productivity Facility (ISPF) is a software product for the z/OS operating system that runs on IBM mainframes. CICS: Customer Information Control System (CICS) is a transaction server that runs primarily on IBM mainframe systems under z/OS and z/VSE. DB2: IBM DB2 is a relational model database server developed by IBM. COBOL: COmmon Business-Oriented Language is the name of the COBOL compiler developed for IBM environments.

Why Mainframe?

Who is the system programmer?

In a mainframe IT organization, the system programmer (or systems programmer) plays a central role. The system programmer installs, customizes, and maintains the operating system, and also installs or upgrades products that run on the system. Who is the system administrator? The distinction between system programmer and system administrator varies widely among mainframe sites. In smaller IT organizations, where one person might be called upon to perform several roles, the terms may be used interchangeably. Who are the application designers and programmers? The application designer and application programmer (or "application developer") design, build, test, and deliver mainframe applications for the company's end users and customers. Based on requirements gathered from business analysts and end users, the designer creates a design specification from which the programmer constructs an application. The process includes several iterations of code changes and compilation, application builds, and unit testing.

Who is the system operator?

The system operator monitors and controls the operation of the mainframe hardware and software. The operator starts and stops system tasks, monitors the system consoles for unusual conditions, and works with the system programming and production control staff to ensure the health and normal operation of the systems. Who is the production control analyst? The production control analyst is responsible for making sure that batch workloads run to completion without error or delay. What roles do vendors play? A number of vendor roles are commonplace in the mainframe shop.

Who uses mainframes and why do they do it?


Everyone has used a mainframe computer at one

point or another. Example: If you have ever used an automated teller machine (ATM) to interact with your bank account, you used a mainframe. Perform large-scale transaction processing (thousands of transactions per second) Support thousands of users and application programs concurrently accessing numerous resources Manage terabytes of information in databases Handle large-bandwidth communication

CICS has its highest profile among financial

institutions such as banks and insurance companies, over 90 percent of Fortune 500 companies are reported to run CICS along with many government entities. CICS is also widely used by many smaller organizations. CICS is used in bank-teller applications, ATM systems, industrial production control systems, insurance applications, and many other types of interactive applications.
