Webinar 2 - An Introduction to PeopleTools Product Components on the Mainframe

Purpose:

To give team members a broader understanding of all of the PeopleTools components and how they work on the Mainframe, enabling them to more effectively communicate with other team members. Typically, for instance,  a Security Administrator may be an expert in PeopleTools security, but may not understand how the Process Scheduler works when building security objects. This class will help to bridge that gap.  It is not a generic platform independent class - it focuses specifically on PeopleTools on the mainframe where that architecture is different than other platforms. The material is current to PeopleTools 8.48, DB2 V8 and V9.

Topics:

Development and Programming Tools - App Designer/AE/PeopleCode
Administration Tools - Security/Process scheduler/Data Mover/Utilities
Analytic Tools - PSQuery/nVision/Crystal/Cube Manager
