Masters Education Program
PARSEC’s Masters Education Program (MEP) isn't your typical online technical seminar.
What if each month you could be a part of a seminar that is geared towards creating best practices for legacy and state-of-art systems with topics such as OpenVMS Crash-Dump Analysis or IP Filtering on UNIX? Would it impress your boss if you learned new methods to ensure current relevance and utility for your company? Would it elevate your job performance, or help you solve a vexing problem? If so, save your seat now in PARSEC's next MEP!
Every month you will learn information inspired by actual case studies that you can apply on-the-spot. We pack technical and practical material into a comfortable 2 hour online session that tops off with ample time for Q&A and valued feedback. Bonus! You get exclusive access to download our extensive documentation at the time of each seminar. Here's a sample list of some of our past seminars:
- Road Trip! VMS Bootcamp 2016 Conference Report
- Bare-Metal System Recovery
- Cleaning Out the Cruft on OpenVMS
- Systemd and Other Major Changes in Redhat Linux 7
- Monitoring OpenVMS with Open-Source SNMP Tools
- OpenVMS Performance Tools
- IP Filtering on Unix
As a perk of being a much appreciated PARSEC support customer, each session is free. If your company is not yet benefiting from PARSEC’s support, you can join any MEP for a modest cost per person. Furthermore, if you sign up for a telephone support contract with us, within 30 days of attending the MEP, we will credit the seminar cost to your support invoice. For as long as you’re a support customer, you will not only enjoy the peace of mind in knowing you’re support needs are covered, but future seminars will be free as well.

OpenVMS Undocumented Commands and Features
We're bringing back one of the all time favorite seminars for your enjoyment. This one is about the various undocumented commands, programs, or other features available within OpenVMS. Some of these, while undocumented originally, became so popular a command that they either became documented in a later version of OpenVMS, or in some rarer examples, became an official product or command in a later release.
There are over 70 examples of these commands, programs, and/or features in the following sub-categories:
DCL Command - There are approximately 25 different OpenVMS DCL commands that people may not be aware of that exist on their systems .
Lexical or System Service Calls - There are many different lexical commands with hidden parameters or system service calls with undocumented features on the system.
Networking Commands - This is a list of various networking commands that you may not have been aware of on the system.
Utilities - Some of these are utilities you may not have even known existed, while most of them are pieces of utilities that can make life easier.
Fun Stuff - Speaking of making life easier, what better way to end than to show you fun ways to spend the last 30 minutes before a vacation starts by showing off for other teammates. How'd you like your VAX to be the world's first one running VSI's latest version of 9.2 of OpenVMS? In today's world of emergent AIs, how about the TCPIP SDA extension acting human? Did Tolkien's dwarves start invalid OpenVMS?
