Course overview

This course provides the system manager who is going to manage an OpenVMS system or cluster the core information and essential skills needed to examine the system, the software and hardware configuration, and the administrative setup already in place. System managers who take over existing systems must first concern themselves with knowing how to find out what devices exist, what the system resources are, what programs run, who the users are, and what kind of overall administrative processes and procedures exist. Then they must be able to assess what they find and make modifications.

Course objectives
	This course is designed to take a programmer with basic DCL understanding and provide the foundations to take advantage of all available features of the OpenVMS operating system. The course will be driven by examples of the use of major system services and run-time library procedures. Most examples are provided in both C and FORTRAN and one other language: Macro-32, BASIC or COBOL. Only components provided with a standard distribution will be addressed in this course, i.e. other than the compiler, no layered products are incorporated into the course. The course includes lab exercises designed to reinforce the skills taught.

 

Benefits to you
	Although the material is broad and some of it will be absorbed only as an overview, it is expected when the student leaves the course she/he should minimally be able to: Complime and link a program Read listing and map files Understand call procedures, including system serviecs and run-time library routines Create a process Communicate with another process Synchronize using event flags and locks
