Client Requirements - CICS Transaction Server and WebSphere MQ Training

I have been asked to come up with the topics that our organization needs to have covered as part of advanced training for information technology staff. The topics were not included in any single search engine course.

Industry Standard Subject Matter

The topics from three course can be consolidated into the tailored training.

The CICS TS: Command Level Programming - Advanced course covers several of the topics in your list. The CICS TS Web material typically is taught as a stand alone course; but it can be incorporated in the advanced CICS TS course.

The WebSphere topics are from the WebSphere MQ - Advanced course. The trigger topic is introduced in the WebSphere MQ Application Programming course, but can be covered with additional client specific examples in the WebSphere MQ - Advanced course: software environment, and utilities. Tivoli Monitor can be incorporated into the courseware and sample programs.

Qualifying Client-specific Subject Matter

There are four additional areas that need to be qualified in order to provide tailored hands-on exercises.

Is the entire message processing under z/OS or are messages being retrieved from other platforms?
Are the applications coded in COBOL, Java, or both?
What is being used: WebSphere MQ classes or JMS?
Is there client documentation and guidelines for using WebSphere MQ?

Distance-learning and Technology Driven IT Training

SYS-ED provides CICS Transaction Server and WebSphere MQ training with a subject matter expert in a classroom environment and also through a web-based delivery medium. An increasing number of clients have elected to extend the traditional classroom instruction with distance-learning in order to afford IT personnel in remote geographic locations the opportunity to attend the training. At the client discretion, assessment validation can be utilized to quantify employees' pre and post course mastery of the subject matter. Clients are welcome to submit CICS and WebSphere MQ questions. Questions are reviewed and answered and where applicable reference source documentation.

SYS-ED is software company independent. We review software company manuals, proprietary information in the public domain, and open source documentation. SYS-ED analyzes benchmarks for software updates and new products. Vendor documentation and third party content is interpreted and selectively incorporated into our courseware and training aids. CETi courseware used in SYS-ED courseware provides unbiased insights and guidance not readily available in the IBM CICS and WebSphere MQ documentation.
