COBOL's quiet efficiency and fitness for purpose has kept it running great chunks of the economy, without fuss, for 65 years.
But is its humble brilliance the cause of a near existential crisis? It has few supporters, lots of suggestions about how to move away...
As it reaches possible retirement age we ask those who know it well, is it time to shout about COBOL all over again?

SysplexWLB is one of features allowing achieve continues availability in datasharing group accessed from remote DDF clients. However to effectively use it there are some requirements to meet, often not understood correctly. Also new Db2 z/OS 13 gives sysprogs and Db2 administrators more "power" to enable it globally for clients coming to Db2z.
This presentation will explain concept of sysplexWLB
- how it works
- what is required to implement it,
- sample architectural setup
- zparm settings
- recent enhancements in Db2 z/OS 13 for sysplexWLB

Session Evaluation

With Generative AI you can have a great assistant to help developers to understand and modernize COBOL and PL/I applications. How can we complement the capabilities of AI with other solutions to create an effective set of tools to assist developers on the modernization journey.

 

S606 - A Treasure Trove of Undocumented IPCS Commands

Session Evaluation

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.

S607 - Hybrid Integration is Inevitable – APIs and Events from z/OS is the answer

Session Evaluation

Integration is essential to the success of a Hybrid Cloud strategy. Technologies like APIs and Event Streams (Kafka) mean that providing ubiquitous and consumable access to business assets is now a reality. The agility, innovation and reduced time to value this drives is instrumental in allowing companies to adapt and react to meet the demands of a rapidly changing world.
For the largest enterprises in the world, that run their core businesses on z/OS, there is almost boundless value that can be derived from providing modern consumable access to assets on the platform. Come to this session to learn about the approach, architecture and technology that IBM provides to enable API and Event (Kafka) based integration of core applications and data in CICS, IMS, Db2 and MQ.

In this session, you'll discover how to leverage Ansible and open source tools to create a fully automated self-service portal to deploy application or infrastructure changes to the target Mainframe system.

S609 - DORA Metrics on the Mainframe: Measuring Developer Productivity and Accelerating Deliveries

  • Marcin Grabinski

Session Evaluation

What if you could apply the same analytical rigor to your mainframe teams as sports teams use to optimize performance? Drawing parallels with the book Moneyball, this session dives into the DevOps Research and Assessment (DORA) metrics—deployment frequency, lead time for changes, mean time to recovery, and change failure rate. We'll discuss how to measure these metrics in a mainframe context, the tools available, and actionable insights to help your teams achieve high performance. Attendees will leave with strategies to identify bottlenecks, drive improvement, and make data-driven decisions to accelerate deliveries.

Session Evaluation

During this presentation, we would like to share some of the success stories of Mainframe application tuning which will focus on arithmetic data types, compiler options, and dataset blocking. By classifying improvements into three categories—without code changes, with code modifications, and through recompilation—attendees will gain actionable insights into enhancing efficiency and reducing resource consumption. These examples demonstrate how Small optimizations yield significant improvements and demonstrate how measurement tools have such an important role in the present day performance improvement attempts on the mainframe.
