Hello all, I am working on porting an application written in 'c' (socket based) that is used to report events to a central server. The application is the client part of the client-server architecture of event utility that is home grown system. We use this application in z/OS ( an other systems) to report event to the central server. We also have 24/7 operators that use an event viewer (client) of the central server to monitor for any critical events. I would like to extend the same functionality to our z/VM system as we already have the monitoring setup/infrastructure.
The question I have before I start on the port is, is it better/easier to compile the z/OS c client code under z/VM LE or rewrite the client using REXX sockets? Is there any performance efficiency gained using c/LE compared to REXX. I am not (yet) an experienced z/VM system programmer and I just started reading the LE for z/VM so there is some stuff that I have to figure out even before I start compiling c socket programs. Thank you, Ashwin Bhemidhi Texas Instruments Inc.
