Stream: Virtual Room 3
Time: 16:15 - 17:00
The aim of this session is to provide a technical introduction to Java and WebSphere Liberty, as well as how it runs under CICS. The content is aimed at mainframe programmers who are unfamiliar with Java. Lessons learnt running CICS Liberty and monitoring and performance tuning will also be covered.
I am a CICS Systems Programmer with a keen interest in mainframe modernisation and how the mainframe can better integrate with other platforms. Being relatively new to the mainframe, I am constantly trying to learn more about all the technologies that surround my own day-to-day work in CICS. Outside work, I am an on-call firefighter and also enjoy staying active with hill walking, running, golf and more.
