IMS database reorganization is essential for maintaining optimal performance and availability of IMS applications. Many IMS administrators face the challenge of determining the right time and method for reorganizing their databases. This presentation explains why reorganization is important, the factors that influence it, and the tools that can help administrators make informed decisions. It also shows how these tools can be used to monitor database health, identify reorganization candidates and execute reorganization jobs. We will also dive into the waters of AI and determine how it can be used to help plan our IMS reorganization.

CICS and IMS transactions can either be managed by the velocity goals assigned to the regions or managed towards the response time goals assigned to the transactions. WLM management of the regions toward the goals of the transactions is known as WLM server management.
During this presentation Peter Enrico will introduce the concepts of WLM server management, and will provide guidelines to ensure an optional WLM setup for CICS and IMS transaction workloads. Guides and recommendation are a key ingredient of this presentation.

Mainframes continue to serve as the foundation of enterprise computing, powering critical applications across industries. However, understanding transaction flows and the interfaces and protocols in play can be a daunting task.
In this introductory session, we will unravel the complexity of mainframe application architectures, guiding attendees through typical transaction flows and the extensive web of communication pathways within z/OS environments. From subsystems like CICS and IMS to gateways and APIs, we will uncover how these components interact to execute transactions with speed, reliability, and scalability. You will gain insights into how the data flows through message queues, adapters, bridges, networks, tasks, attachment facilities and databases, and learn the foundational communication methods that tie these components together.
Whether you are an architect, developer, or IT leader, this session will equip you with essential insights into mainframe connectivity and transaction processing. Join us to dive into the inner mechanics of mainframe computing and strengthen your foundational knowledge of the mainframe as a mission-critical platform.

Certificates play an important part of ensuring that client server communication to and from z/OS takes place in a way that ensures secure data transport with both parties knowing that the other one is who they claim to be. It's not just about public private keys however, there are certificate authorities, trust roots, subject alternate names, extended key usage attributes, keyrings, keystores, enterprise security managers, x509 and .SSHID authentication, and more.
This talk will cover scenarios that matter to z/OS sites, such as using certs to replace userID/password login. Creating server side certificates from bottom up and having clients trust them, as well as taking externally issued certificates top down and gaining z/OS environment’s trust. In my experience with z/OS customers big and small, whether working with new to Z or experienced sysprogs, many folks get stuck with difficult to diagnose and fix issues where the resolution is around how TLS and SSH handshaking occurs when certificates are in play. This talk is designed to cover the most common ones as well as provide background to help folks understand the moving parts and hopefully avoid getting any in their own environments !

Or contrarily you must make sure you are capable of reporting on these devices because of regulations? Tape and disk space becomes cheaper and cheaper. Why should you still be capable of mapping the usage to applications, business units or even users?

IBM delivers a "treasure trove" of undocumented commands free to use by all z/OS V2R5 and 3.1 clients. Familiarity with these features
can provide significant productivity gains to serious bug hunters and even part-time casual dump readers can benefit from the high-level
functions that provide otherwise-hard-to-find problem overview information. These undocumented commands are not supported, so if
and when they don't work, we won't expect IBM to fix them. But when they do work (which is almost all the time), they provide invaluable
information and insight that can help z/OS problem diagnosticians shave off hours dump diagnosis time. William Penn said, "Knowledge
is the treasure of a wise man." Come to this session and leave a little richer and wiser.

This session will present an end to end description of the workflow of CICS Security Discovery which is designed to solve that problem and help you identify the roles, command and resource definitions in your production regions. There will be a demo of the Security Discovery Explorer Editor which analyses your existing security definitions, and production usage to identify roles, the users in these roles and their access to applications and resources.
