Caché System Management is designed for the student who has system management training or the equivalent experience with VMS, NT or UNIX/Linux. Initially, the course starts with an overview of a Caché Configuration and then proceeds to a detailed analysis of the component parts.
Each student will have an opportunity to learn about Caché on OpenVMS, NT 4.0, and Linux operating systems. Configuration includes setting up manager, programmer and user accounts, and providing appropriate security controls to the accounts.
Students will manage routines (program code) and create databases. Part of this will require an introduction to the Caché programming language, but this is not a programming course. Those with experience with the M language will find Caché very similar.
Managing databases involves learning how to extend them as required by system needs, protecting database integrity with journaling and backups and system utilities integral to Caché. This system management course will also include performance monitoring.
· Describe and maintain all structures and components of a Caché configuration within one (or more) of the system environments.
· Describe and maintain how routines are maintained and be able to map all routines.
· Describe and maintain Volume Sets as well as Journaling and DDP circuits.
