Running Mainframe z on Distributed Platforms: How to Create Robust Cost-Efficient Multiplatform z Environments

APPENDIX B

Setting the Standards and Conventions

Naming standards are a major part of managing virtual systems. When properly established, naming standards can enable the implementation of new operating systems and new virtual systems in an easy-to-follow process.

This appendix shows a number of conventions and naming standards that reduce the time to implement and update z/OS operating systems. Another purpose for the standards is to maintain a consistent look and feel for all systems. As operating systems advance or as requirements change, these conventions enable changes in one place to update all systems. This technique creates an environment ...
