When I first turned up at share I had the opportunity to chair the IPCS talk for Jerry Ng - he had done it several times prior and I had always downloaded it for reference. Paper only, way before the interactive sessions. The IPCS manuals are handy references, but hardly instructional - have a look at the Diag Tools ans Service Aids for some IPCS/dump intro. Getting the right data is as important as analysing it. When I started at Amdahl I was able to sit in on customer classes for no fee if and when they were being run out here - MVS Internals and Diag Techniques were what I jumped at. Several others on this list probably did likewise in the "old" days. These days you'll have to just pull bits together where-ever you can find them and spend some quality time getting up to speed. Is your manager prepared to invest in your time ?. Hopefully so.
