I’m playing around with REST enabling some functions to gather information from my Z system for use outside of the system. Specifically I want to extract UCB information and then use CVAF APIs to access the data. My plan is to use a Tomcat Server to host the REST endpoint and then manage security by authorizing the user to determine their level of access. More of a multi-tech experiment.
One use case is to interrogate all LPARs in a Sysplex and identify when DASD is accessible, available and to note when there is a change in the baseline. I wanted to use CVAF as a means to inspect volumes to ensure that they aren’t just clipped the same. Like I said, mostly a science experiment … does this sound like anything folks would be interested in using ? I want to make the Mainframe accessible to those that aren’t dyed in the wool mainframes and let them take a peek. Thoughts?
