TCP/IP has taken over mainframe networking. Mission-critical applications now depend on complex arrays of devices, vendors, and protocols. That makes REAL-TIME monitoring essential to performance and security. This white paper explains monitoring of TCP/IP on z/OS.

The join process in SyncSort for z/OS provides the critical capability to join records from two files, with one or more fields as the join key, so that the joined file data can be passed to sort/copy process.
