This course is designed to provide the SMP/E skills needed in the installation and maintenance of optional features and maintenance in the z/OS operating environment. You are taught to define the SMP/E database and invoke SMP/E to add, modify, or replace system elements. The course includes extensive hands-on labs using a current level of SMP/E.
You will get practical experience in the SMP/E tasks involved in installing a z/OS product. Emphasis is on interpreting results of SMP/E processing. SMP/E concepts examined in this course include modification control statements, the consolidated software inventory, zone structure, and error analysis. SMP/E commands such as RECEIVE, APPLY, ACCEPT, RESTORE, REPORT, and LIST are discussed.
You will also learn how to perform automated SMP/E delivery of z/OS and product maintenance over the Internet with an automated SMP/E process that downloads and installs IBM preventive and corrective service over the Internet.
This basic course is for system programmers with no prior SMP experience who plan to use SMP/E for system and subsystem maintenance and installation.

Had a good time taking course with ExitCertified. The Data Science course with Python was really laid out well and it was very easy to understand and navigate. The setup using Anaconda was really good and it was easy to follow along and do the practise exercises.
Excellent class and instructors. Pace was a good mixture of challenging without being overwhelming.
This is my first class with ExitCertified which was well executed in my opinion.
The course had a balanced structure with labs that helped supplement the learning material and it was incredibly beginner friendly.
This class was put together very well and was set up better than most of in person (class) training that I attended. The instructor Karen was one the best instructors that ever had, she had complete control of the training environment.
