The IBM Z platform is complex, but comes with many powerful, interactive controls via the Hardware Management Console (HMC) and Support Element (SE) to be able to control the hardware configuration of your Z infrastructure. Many times, however, a more automated approach is required to modify the configuration, reboot a hardware partition (LPAR), and much more. z/OS provides a programmable interface via z/OS BCPii that can make most of the complexities of hardware configuration a whole lot more manageable. Come to this session to learn about how z/OS BCPii works, what products use it today, what use cases clients are using BCPii for, and how you can leverage its capabilities to automate much of your hardware configuration tasks.
Steve is a Senior Technical Staff Member working at the IBM Poughkeepsie, NY USA laboratory as a Principal Client Engineering Solution Architect, helping IBM Z clients modernize their workloads and processes,as well as enabling z/OS to be a cloud-centric platform. He is also the creator of the z/OS BCPii and z/OS Client Web Enablement Toolkit z/OS components and still acts as an advocate for both. Steve is a seasoned presenter, and frequently presents at conferences around the world about a wide variety of topics related to z/OS.
