Information passed to my opt-in list already... After over two months of work, I have succesfully ported the Apache server, version 2.2.9, to our z/OS 1.9 system.
Based on this work, I have produced a paper on how to do this (or at least how I did it, which may or may not work for you). If you are interested in this paper, please drop me a line and I'll send you a copy. -------------------------------------------------- Also, I have a new 40 page paper on "Applications Assembler Programming for z". It's not everyone's cup of tea, but if you or a colleague would like a copy, drop me a line and I'll it email to you. Right now the plan is to include this as a supplement to our base Toolkits and to send to those who request it, and not to put it on our website. ------------------------------------------------- Also, We are pleased to announce the availability of our newest toolkits: * Team Edition Language Environment Toolkit * Personal Edition Language Environment Toolkit * Team Edition DB2 Basic Toolkit * Personal Edition DB2 Basic Toolkit check out http://www.trainersfriend.com/TTFStore/ and follow the link on the left hand side for DB2 Basic Toolkit Personal Edition or Team Edition Reminder: What Are Toolkits from The Trainer's Friend? A toolkit produced by the The Trainer's Friend is a collection of working programs that run under z/OS that demonstrate how to use various features of z/OS or its components or products, such as DB2 or Language Environment. The programs are written in Assembler, COBOL, PL/I, and C. A toolkit also provides a collection of JCL and REXX execs tailored to your environment that support Assembling or compiling, program binding, DB2 binding, and running the provided programs, along with test data. Reminder: How do I use a toolkit? We envision several ways to use our toolkits: * Use the sample programs for guidance and examples for accomplishing specific tasks in the language of your choice: working how-to samples * Use the sample programs as starter code (copy and paste) to create your own programs: help programmers write code that works faster and more effectively * Use the supporting JCL and EXECs to develop and test your own programs in a stand-alone environment, an environment not encumbered by other tools and rules, nor disturbed by other programmers Reminder: What's the difference between Personal Toolkits and Team Toolkits? Based on information you send us, we tailor each toolkit. A Personal Edition toolkit is designed for a single TSO user: a complete set of libraries just for you. A PDS we call the LIBRARY data set contains the primary setting values for your installation (for example, names of files used by the compilers) A Team Edition toolkit is desgined for a group with similar needs. When a Team Edition toolkit is installed, each member of the group runs a short dialog that builds a private toolkit tailored for that user. All user toolkits built from a Team Edition toolkit, however, share the LIBRARY dataset; if a compiler file name is changed, all users sharing that LIBRARY will automatcially use the new compiler. Generally speaking, if you need five or more personal toolkits, a Team Edition toolkit is the most economical way to go. Reminder: Are there prerequisites? All toolkit users must start with a Base toolkit, either Personal Edition or Team Edition. All subsequent toolkits build off a Base. Currently we offer toolkits for DB2 and for Language Environment (LE) in addition to the Base. Toolkits have not been tested for releases of z/OS earlier than z/OS 1.7, although they should work. The DB2 toolkits will work for DB2 V8 and V9, and probably for some earlier versions of DB2 (some features may not be present in earlier releases, especially regarding cursors).
