Hands on system programming aspects
The main role of system programmers is to install and maintain software. They may have no knowledge of the software and often don’t need to because they just install it. Knowledge of one of these DB2/ CICS and IMS system tto define and manage the environment.

- Interface with the installation team for new versions and fixes
- Build new DB2 systems when required
- Support DB2 tools and customize as required
- Manage the Sysplex DB2 systems
- Monitor performance and tuning
- Carry out capacity planning
- Provide Support for applications teams that use DB2
