Mainframe Operations News, Training, and Readiness Center
This center joins editorial operations news with readiness materials your leads can print before a change window. Diagrams stay monochrome on purpose—no numeric overlays, no dashboard cosplay—just sequences you can defend in a cab ride with your VP of infrastructure.
Latest operations briefings
Briefings rotate through SMF hygiene, incident warm-ups, and cross-org workflow handshakes. Each file ends with a single handover paragraph so your night desk can paste it into the activity log without editing.
Abstract flow: briefings converge into a single handover node.
