Continuous Delivery Follow-up Announcements
Mainframe
Our "Mainframe" topic was an interview with John Eells, z/OS System Test and lead on the Software Installation Strategy.
This topic is very important for z/OS system programmers to understand. IBM and ISVs have been working on a common install method, that handles both SMP/E and non-SMP/E. This would go beyond laying down code, and would eventually hook seamlessly into doing configuration tasks (via z/OSMF Workflow). It would even be able to package software, if you wanted to, and all delivered within the base z/OS operating system.
The common install method would be provided through z/OSMF's Software Management plug-in, so make sure you are setting up and becoming familiar with z/OSMF now. John and Marna also talked about some of the wishlist items we'd like to see in this solution.
Performance
Our "Performance" topic was about some about additions and changes to Martin's Parallel Sysplex Performance presentation that he's been presenting over the years. Somehow this presentation never seems to get any shorter.
This presentation has several sections: Structure-Level CPU, Matching CF and PR/SM views of CPU, Structure Duplexing, XCF traffic, CF link information, and CF Thin Interrupts.
The new parts and changes he has made in this presentation are:
and
Topics
Ahoy! In our "Topics" section we discuss voice-activated assistants that have been hitting the market for a while now.
Martin has a good amount of experience in Siri from Apple and Alexa (Amazon) Echo and Dot. A third one is Google Home.
Martin talks about the various pros and cons on each.
