Daily duties at Confidential were to support the SMF and VM data collection and verifying the data was loaded to a DB2 TDS databases correctly with no gaps and to make sure the data was not duplicated or loaded incorrectly. Data was used to track system performance and charge back to the users / customers of the system. Weekly bills were sent to the Confidential ledger for internal systems and external customers were sent a monthly bill or usage report.

Most of the daily jobs FTPed newly created JCL to remote systems to run on them and FTP data back to the host system where the data was loaded into DB2 databases for reporting. Once the remote FTP back to the host system a dumy job was run to trigger and TWS Event Trigger Track to start the DB2 load job. On a nightly bases there were TWS jobs scheduled to run at certain times for DB2 table purges were run to delete older data from the database to free up space. Used the DWC tool to debug why job flows were not running as designed and determine any issues that would be causing scheduling problems.

For 10 years I was the RACF administrator for my group. Duties included creating user ids, deleting obsolete ids, managing security groups, security access to system resources, running quarterly audits to verify all users still required access and to verify all access was valid to all security rules. Any violations were tracked and corrected using a tracking tool called CIRATS. Our group supported over a hundred z/OS internal systems and 50 commercial z/OS systems. Also supported RACF access on over 50 zVM systems.
Worked with C, C++, C#, COBOL, REXX, PL/1, DB2, SQL, QMF, TMS/OPC, JCL, EJES, SDSF, TDS, SMF, IMS, MVS, RACF, Pipelines, RedHat Linux, PHP, zVM, z/OS, zCould systems.

Tape and Print Operator

Responsibilities:

Started Confidential as a temporary employee mounting computer 4320 real to real tapes, 3480/3490 cartridge tapes.
Also worked with 3800/3900 mainframe printers and microfiche machines.
Barcodes were added to the cover pages of print outs to track couriers delivering them to remote buildings.
Wrote a barcode tracking program that ran on Confidential that uploaded scanned barcode data in almost real time to a mainframe system.
Data was then published to a website so supervisors could monitor and track couriers see if they were missing any delivery times.
This saved the company money and improved courier performance. Received an award with another person who proposed the idea.
