Acquisitions, scaling, or hardware upgrades often require product environment updates. In this session, we will share simple techniques and standard practices to save time, reduce effort, and eliminate errors through optimized processes. Learn why copying existing configurations beats starting from scratch, best practices for working with primary, alternate, and previous runtime environments, and how flexible service deployments and cloning can streamline z/VM product environment management.

With over 35 years of mainframe experience I have covered a lot of area. I started in application development building applications in COBOL and Assembler, for years. Then moved to becoming a systems programmer for a short period of time. Went from working on operating systems such as MVS/SP, MVS/XA, MVS/ESA, OS/390, z/OS. Then was working on other operating systems such as VM/ESA, and z/VM, Linux on Z, Z/VSE. Worked with multiple groups of people helping them improve their application development environments to improve speed to market. I was on the for front of the Linux on Z movement. Then move on to now modernizing the mainframe what I help companies bring their mainframe applications forward to integrate with more modern UI’s. Working with Zowe, VS Code, Extensions to make an application developer more productive. I sit on multiple committees that guide the direction of conferences and workshops. I work the mainframe conferences where I work with companies as well as deliver sessions. I have hosted workshops on modernization. Plus mentoring the next generation of mainframe developers.
