IBM zPDT System

Customers are often reluctant to have too much experimental development on their production machine, even if it is contained in a/09/arate LPAR. Systems programmers/05/need a sandbox at a more "hands on" level than provided by an LPAR in a production machine. Remote developers/05/have latency difficulties with very distant 3270 emulator sessions. Production machines/05/simply lack spare cycles to accommodate developers. The IBM zPDT product can address these problems. It provides a full z/OS system on a Linux PC base. This workshop discusses and demonstrates zPDT in considerable detail.
