| Since its development and
implementation in the 1970’s, VSAM has been the workhorse access method
for IBM’s z/OS and z/VSE operating system and system software products:
IMS,
CICS, and
DB2. Although the role of VSAM and its relative importance has
changed with the emergence of DB2 and web enablement technologies, a
comprehensive knowledge of VSAM is still important for optimizing
performance and balancing I/O. Few software or consulting firms have
as extensive knowledge of VSAM and collective experience with its architecture,
access method services, listcats, and
transactional VSAM.
Since 1980, SYS-ED has been recognized as an international leader in
VSAM training. The foundation of our VSAM courses is hands-on
consultancy experience. The ongoing work of our system consultant
instructors has been applied to each generation of new hardware and
updates to IBM system software. The sample programs and workshops were
incrementally developed, refined, updated, and tailored to teach VSAM in
a wide variety of evolutionary MVS and VSE environments and legacy
programming languages (not just COBOL). Our consultancy derived content
and VSAM courses served as a benchmark from which
industry standard text books
were fine tuned - content, sample programs, and workshops - to ensure
that they addressed "real world" work environments. SYS-ED's VSAM
training has a track record for developing the skillset and knowledge
required by Fortune
1000 companies,
government municipalities,
healthcare
providers, and
consulting firms to address their
specific operational
objectives. And yes, we also
provide training and educational solutions on the comprehensive
range of
IBM and third-party
mainframe utilities and development tools. When IT professionals leave a SYS-ED VSAM course, they have the documentation, skeleton programs, training aids, and supervised hands-on experience to efficiently code and maintain programs back on the job. Case and point, our longstanding clients will provide us with listcats (We encourage them to do so!) from their production systems prior to attending a class. We analyze and interpret the listcats and teach the concepts and techniques required to make VSAM performance optimization a reality. A value added component to a SYS-ED VSAM course is the educational consultancy we provide on VSAM and interrelated IBM mainframe system software. Mainframe Educational Consultancy Moreover, if your organization outsourced the optimization and maintenance of its VSAM coding to consulting companies in the 1980’s, it more than likely was SYS-ED which trained many of the consultants who did the actual work. Due to popular demand several of our mainframe courses have been migrated for presentation in a distance and e-learning format. The VSAM course workbooks and training aids that we provide as part of our instructor-led courses are unique in the IT field. Our content and diagrams reflect a purposeful examination of program logic, access methods services, and sample programs which have been validated on consulting projects. SYS-ED's VSAM courseware is maintained and updated as part of teaching a course: FAQ's frequently asked questions, technology updates, and CETi knowledge base. And with the scarcity of up to date VSAM text books, our courseware is also invaluable as a reference manual. In our opinion reference information which “explains and demonstrates” is fundamental to effective knowledge transfer. |

Over the past year, we have had a number of inquiries regarding whether SYS-ED still offered VSAM training for IT professionals.
