BMC AMI Datastream for z/OS 7.x: Fundamentals Skills Assessment for System Programmers

For many large organizations, one or more IBM z/OS mainframes constitute a strategic capital investment for mission-critical applications, processes, and data. With security information and event management (SIEM) software platforms predominantly in distributed environments, the BMC AMI Datastream for z/OS allows organizations to include mainframe event log data for a unified, multi-platform view of enterprise security event data in a single console. BMC AMI Datastream for z/OS is an agent program that you install and run on one or more LPARs to monitor system activity, collect process data, and deliver SMF records, such as RACF, ACF2, Top Secret, TCP/IP, CICS, IMS, and other z/OS system and application events, to your distributed SIEM in real-time.

The skills assessment is not an exam meant to test individuals but to provide students and teams an overview of existing and missing skills to select the appropriate training. Assessment takers shouldn´t prepare and retake the assessment to avoid receiving incorrect recommendations.
