Version 9.0.20
- Target audience: Advanced users who are already familiar with the basics of the product as well as system programmers and other IT professionals.
- Abstract: A course for advanced users who are already familiar with the basics of the products and want to become familiar with their advanced features and customization capabilities.
Participants will be introduced to the features of CONTROL-D (BMC Software Automated Report Distribution and Output Management System) and CONTROL-V (BMC Software Automated Archive Migration & Viewing Facility). The course covers the following topics: IOA, CONTROL-D and CONTROL-V resolution, user reports option, commands, rulers, receiver structure, banners, job status display, utilities, security, exits, DeepL access/quick search screen, indexing, archive server, Advanced Function Printing (AFP), tuning tips, resources, and overview of CONTROL-D/WebAccess Server.
A course for advanced users who are already familiar with the basics of the products and want to learn about their advanced features and customization options. This seminar builds on the CONTROL-D and CONTROL-V Basics seminar and deepens the knowledge of these products.
The individual customization possibilities and the internal structure of CONTROL-D/V are explained as well as the tasks of system administration. Using detailed exercises as examples, participants will gain detailed insights into the operation of the CDAM subsystem, the CONTROL-D jobs and the CONTROL-V functions of indexing and migration. It will be shown how CONTROL-D/V is integrated into the IOA family (Integrated Operations Architecture) and how the connection to other products of the IOA family can be established. Extensive exercises will enable the participants to also get to know special features of the CONTROL-D and CONTROL-V functionality and to fully use all possibilities of the product. - The exercises are performed on a dedicated LPAR. Results can be reviewed and analyzed immediately.
