IBM z/OS Management Facility V2R3 by Redelf Janssen,Tobias Rotthove,IBM Redbooks Pdf
This IBM® Redbooks® publication helps you install, configure, and use the IBM z/OS® Management Facility (z/OSMF). z/OSMF is a product for z/OS that simplifies, optimizes, and modernizes the z/OS system programmer experience. z/OSMF delivers solutions in a task-oriented, web browser-based user interface with integrated user assistance. The goal of z/OSMF is to improve system programmer productivity, and make functions easier to understand and use. This improvement makes system programmers more productive as quickly as possible with the least amount of training. You can automate tasks, reduce the learning curve, and improve productivity through a modern, simplified, and intuitive task-based, browser-based interface. z/OSMF is aimed at a mixed skills workforce: It is suited to professionals who are new to z/OS and those who are skilled in z/OS. Each professional has their own needs and faces their own challenges. Novice system programmer might need to understand the "big picture" and how procedures are done. Novices also need access to documentation about procedures and tasks, and implement them according to the rules of the enterprise. Experienced system programmers are familiar with tasks and procedures. Therefore, the goal is to make their work less error-prone and easier. This goal allows them to be more productive and contribute more to their business. Although z/OS delivered simplification since it was introduced, z/OSMF brings a new dimension and focus to simplification. z/OSMF simplifies and modernizes the user experience and helps make pertinent information readily available and easily accessible.
Optimized Inferencing and Integration with AI on IBM zSystems: Introduction, Methodology, and Use Cases by Makenzie Manna,Erhan Mengusoglu,Artem Minin,Krishna Teja Rekapalli,Thomas Rüter,Pia Velazco,Markus Wolff,IBM Redbooks Pdf
In today's fast-paced, ever-growing digital world, you face various new and complex business problems. To help resolve these problems, enterprises are embedding artificial intelligence (AI) into their mission-critical business processes and applications to help improve operations, optimize performance, personalize the user experience, and differentiate themselves from the competition. Furthermore, the use of AI on the IBM® zSystems platform, where your mission-critical transactions, data, and applications are installed, is a key aspect of modernizing business-critical applications while maintaining strict service-level agreements (SLAs) and security requirements. This colocation of data and AI empowers your enterprise to optimally and easily deploy and infuse AI capabilities into your enterprise workloads with the most recent and relevant data available in real time, which enables a more transparent, accurate, and dependable AI experience. This IBM Redpaper publication introduces and explains AI technologies and hardware optimizations, and demonstrates how to leverage certain capabilities and components to enable AI solutions in business-critical use cases, such as fraud detection and credit risk scoring, on the platform. Real-time inferencing with AI models, a capability that is critical to certain industries and use cases, now can be implemented with optimized performance thanks to innovations like IBM zSystems Integrated Accelerator for AI embedded in the Telum chip within IBM z16TM. This publication describes and demonstrates the implementation and integration of the two end-to-end solutions (fraud detection and credit risk), from developing and training the AI models to deploying the models in an IBM z/OS® V2R5 environment on IBM z16 hardware, and integrating AI functions into an application, for example an IBM z/OS Customer Information Control System (IBM CICS®) application. We describe performance optimization recommendations and considerations when leveraging AI technology on the IBM zSystems platform, including optimizations for micro-batching in IBM Watson® Machine Learning for z/OS. The benefits that are derived from the solutions also are described in detail, including how the open-source AI framework portability of the IBM zSystems platform enables model development and training to be done anywhere, including on IBM zSystems, and enables easy integration to deploy on IBM zSystems for optimal inferencing. Thus, allowing enterprises to uncover insights at the transaction-level while taking advantage of the speed, depth, and securability of the platform. This publication is intended for technical specialists, site reliability engineers, architects, system programmers, and systems engineers. Technologies that are covered include TensorFlow Serving, WMLz, IBM Cloud Pak® for Data (CP4D), IBM z/OS Container Extensions (zCX), IBM CICS, Open Neural Network Exchange (ONNX), and IBM Deep Learning Compiler (zDLC).

Exploiting the IBM Health Checker for z/OS Infrastructure by Mario Bezzi,Neil O'Connor,Sharon Phillips,Ulrich Thiemann,Helen Tsang,IBM Redbooks Pdf
The IBM® Health Checker for z/OS® (also identified in this book as IBM Health Checker) is a key component of the z/OS operating system, whose objective is to identify potential problems before they impact the system's availability. To do this it continuously checks many current, active z/OS and sysplex settings and compares them with those suggested by IBM or defined by you. The IBM Health Checker for z/OS is made of two parts: - A framework that provides check management and execution services. It supports check development by IBM, independent software vendors (ISVs), and users. - Individual checks that look for specific z/OS settings and definitions, checking for potential problems. Customers can use the IBM Health Checker for z/OS infrastructure to run their own checks, extending the reach of IBM Health Checker for z/OS to environment-specific settings. This IBM RedpaperTM publication introduces the IBM Health Checker and describes how to activate and use it. It teaches you how to exploit the IBM Health Checker infrastructure to run custom checks and how to identify good candidates for writing your own checks. This publication also provides a number of sample checks to give you a good start creating custom checks for your environment.
