Java time! Get it? The reference to Java and U can’t touch this by MC Hammer? No? Schnitzel. Let’s get on with challenge #08 and fix a Java connection problem! IBM Master the Mainframe Part Three – Challenge #08 Like most of the challenges we need to acquire some data first! Let’s get started by entering the primary command =6 from the ISPF Primary Option Menu, this boots us to the command...

This is probably the hardest part 2 challenge. That’s probably why it’s the last one. Ahh, what am I saying? Shouldn’t we get to work? I’ve been getting a lot of e-mails and contact form submissions for this post so I’ll try my best to make this blogpost as clear as possible. Maybe something less interesting, but I’ve sped up my blog by removing some sharing buttons and other useless...

Yes yes, I’m late! But I’m here to help you finish challenge #14, right now. There’s a couple of things I have to say about this post, I have recorded some configuration work because there’s a lot of screenshots on the official assignment page. I advise you to just follow the mybluemix page for the first 2 steps. Ooh btw, this is my 50th blogpost! IBM Master the Mainframe 2019 Part Two –...

Probably longer than China’s wall. Be prepared or be scared. A full code review can be found at my GitHub, it’s better to read the GitHub review and blog conclusion if you’re participating. It’s time for some good old role-play. No, this is not a blog about Dungeons & Dragons.

Again, it’s not needed to know COBOL but I bet it would help. I’ve read that COBOL is a relatively easy language to learn and I will take a shot at it together with Java after this mainframe series. I’ve tried some courses on Udemy but, with all due respect, they are horrible.

Hmm… I’m looking for some free time. Can’t seem to find any. It’s been a while. Rough week. I’ve changed the website a little bit. It’s also weird writing a blog on a monday, why didn’t I do it in the weekend? Don’t be confused, it’s not monday, I just publish late. There’s a cookie notice now, and also some share buttons. The first happened because I want to be legal.

Happy late Halloween! Man! I was logging in on WordPress and it had to verify if I was a robot. Gotta say… I had my doubts too. This blog post will be long. Ah well, I treat this website more like a report than as a blog. Also I have to apologise! I feel like my commitment to this blog and series is lacking. My posts are too much to the point. I hate it. I’ll...
