Let’s install a proper remote IBM 3270 terminal emulator and use it to access our MUSIC/SP – Sim390 environment. We’ll can use both local and remote but a proper terminal program gives you access to more features and a proper keyboard when required. In this video you’ll also see the difference in the MUSIC/SP level of access when you’re logged in as an admin or as a guest user.You’ll need the wc3270 emulator for your PC: https://x3270.miraheze.org/wiki/Downloads

I am about to finish the IBM Z Xplore program. I think it has been very useful to see a little bit of everything, but I still have a lot to study and learn. I am interested in z/OS system administration. I have a few questions: -Have you done the IBM Z Xplore program, did you find it useful? What should I do now? Is it better to try to test the knowledge with simple projects or to study more in depth? Thanks for everything in advance! submitted by /u/Maica_png[link][comments]
