IBM System z sandbox for enterprise modernization – Quick Start Guide
Introduction to the sandbox
IBM® enterprise modernization sandbox for System z is a free, web-based, hands-on environment that allows you to work with and deploy IBM System z® applications in a guided “tinker, test, and try” approach. No downloading, configuration, or installation required. You can quickly experience and evaluate IBM’s latest modernization solutions by simply logging in and getting connected to a live System z test environment.
The solutions focus on four key areas or entry points:
• Increase flexibility by revitalizing existing application portfolio • Boost productivity and accelerate innovation with modern skills • Maximize business agility by bridging organizational silos • Improve system utilization by optimizing application infrastructure
Teams: This entry point offers solutions for improving the productivity and efficiency of teams by deploying a common team infrastructure for managing requirements, projects, quality, and collaboration across the application development lifecycle.
People: This entry point offers solutions for improving productivity of existing and new System z developers with modern integrated design and development tools.
Applications: This entry point offers solutions for understanding, architecting, evaluating, managing, modernizing and extending enterprise applications that run your business.
Infrastructure: This entry point offers solutions for improving system utilization, scalability and performance by exploiting latest advancements in hardware, middleware software and compilation technologies.
Please read through rest of the guide quickly and when you are ready to play then go to the enterprise modernization sandbox for System z web site and follow the instructions on how to register and sign-in.

IBM System z sandbox for enterprise modernization – Quick Start Guide
How to get started?
You can play in the sandbox in the way that works best for you:
• Learn by following the scripted, self-paced exercises • Leave the scripts (at any point) and play on your own, venturing into areas of the System
z development environment you want to explore and learn about.
Once you register, you will have four hours per session. Use the tools to explore what's available, without the fear of breaking something. Just follow these simple steps:
1. Download and print the scripted lab materials for the scenarios you wish to follow. These materials help you get started and provide a roadmap for trying out the products in the sandbox.
2. Register for and login to the enterprise modernization sandbox, a remote, virtual desktop, with all of the IBM enterprise modernization tools installed. At this point you are ready to follow the scripts or play with the software if you already understand how to use the tools.
3. Use the resources for each exercise to try each scenario. 4. If you'd like, contact IBM for additional information on any of the enterprise modernization
approaches you've worked with to get additional information, to comment on your experience, or to sign up for free remote education classes.
To get started, visit http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/downloads/emsandbox/systemz.html
What scenarios can I try? If you are new to System z environment, it is recommended that you first go through one of the self-paced scripted scenarios. Below is the current list of scenarios you can try.

Frequently asked questions Q1. Where can I download the Citrix?
The online trial program uses the Citrix XenApp Presentation Server (formerly known as the MetaFrame Presentation Server) to provide you a connection from your workstation to the remote server running the IBM product you are evaluating. You will need to download the latest XenApp web plug-in appropriate for your operating system.
If you are installing Citrix for the first time, you will see a popup window that asks for the address of the server hosting your published application. Leave the Server Address field blank and click Next.
If you do not have the Citrix Web plug-in installed when you attempt to access the online trial, you will be prompted to install it.
Note: For windows Use the latest “Citrix Online plug-in” Online Plug-in, to access your hosted applications from your desktop or a web interface. Q2. I am still not able to connect to the sandbox after installing and configuring the free Citrix plug-in. What should I do now? Visit: http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/downloads/connection-faqs.html Q3. Where can I submit technical questions related to the online trials? Visit our connectivity forum to submit technical questions about using online trials. Q4. Who can I contact for additional information?
