Anatol, Since you'll be outside of z/OS you'll have to use some sort of socket based communications mechanism.
There may be a few ways to tackle this: - Teach the MVS application to talk to a socket and listen for connections from the Linux application - Write another application to do the listening, then invoke the MVS application when a packet is received from the Linux application - Use CICS Listener support (the socket handling is built in, you don't have to worry about it) - Use Web Services (that may be overkill for this purpose, but it's an option) Whether your using z/VM or not isn't relevant to the solution.

I'm new to this list, and the FAQ link doesn't work, so please excuse possible redundancy. We have a C++ application on USS, which communicates with an MVS application via a shared memory segment and binary semaphores. Presently we're contemplating porting that application to Linux on IFL. I wonder if there are any means of interprocess communications, like shared memory and semaphores, available for an MVS application to talk to Linux on IFL. I know about HyperSockets, but that's networking, not IPC. zVM is not an option for us, so I wonder if anyone has any ideas or references for us. Thanks, --Anatol
