Hello All, The recent Zowe discussion got me wondering... Let's say there are thousands of components or subsystems in z/OS, such as the service for catalog services, ISPF, ISMF, SMS, SDSF, JES2, RACF/ESM, XCF, IOS, parts within CICS, DB2, IMS, etc. etc. Is it not possible to create a module for each of these subsystems/components that, in essence, maps the existing assembler/C/REXX APIs to HTTP APIs, and provides detailed documentation (so as to cover what is callable via HTTP)? By module I mean modules for a web server, such as the IBM HTTP Server for Apache. This way, since z/OS comes with IHSA these days, exposing z/OS guts via HTTP is just a matter of adding modules to the HTTP server.
I don't know if what I've described is basically z/OSMF, but with WAS Liberty... ? C'est possible? - Vignesh Mainframe Infrastructure MARKSANDSPENCER.COM ________________________________ Unless otherwise stated above: Marks and Spencer plc Registered Office: Waterside House 35 North Wharf Road London W2 1NW Registered No. 214436 in England and Wales.
