Author Description
Technical mainframe professionals finally have a resource to call their own—Richard J. Bambara’s MVS and UNIX, the first UNIX sourcebook for MVS users. It’s so perfectly balanced, so clearly written, that UNIX pros may want to read it too! Covering the three major UNIX platforms, this 600+ -page reference compares and contrasts operating systems, evaluates integration and migration, and gives a complete analysis of: Hardware; System/user interfaces and environments; Shells [native TSO and UNIX, ISPF]; Software [KornShell and VI The Editor]; MVS and UNIX utilities; CICS and Online Transaction Processing; DB2 Common Server; Using the Network; Job and Process Control; Systems Performance.
Menrva's Summary
THE THESIS
This handbook investigates the technical and operational intersections between MVS mainframe environments and UNIX operating systems to facilitate integration and migration for IT professionals. Richard J. Bambara provides a comprehensive comparative analysis designed for developers, managers, and system administrators who must navigate both legacy mainframe architectures and modern UNIX platforms. The text utilizes a structured framework to map equivalent functions, interfaces, and utilities across these disparate systems.
THE SCOPE MAP
What You Will Find
- Comparative analysis of MVS and UNIX hardware and system interfaces
- Detailed breakdown of shell environments including TSO, ISPF, and KornShell
- Technical evaluation of CICS, DB2 Common Server, and online transaction processing
- Practical guidance on job control, process management, and network integration
Scope Limits
- Does not provide an exhaustive tutorial for absolute beginners in computer science
- Focuses primarily on the integration of existing MVS systems with UNIX rather than standalone UNIX development
THE AUTHORITY PERSPECTIVE
Experts recognize this text as a foundational resource for bridging the gap between traditional mainframe environments and UNIX-based systems. Readers frequently note the technical density of the prose, which serves as a practical reference for professionals managing multi-platform infrastructures.
