To activate these new cloned Linux images, I need to either IPL the z/VM system or recycle TCP/IP on z/VM. Are there any other ways to perform a so called "dynamic" activation of the new cloned Linux images without IPLing z/VM or recyling TCP/IP on z/VM?

Using MVS sockets interface to get TCP/IP traffic out of CICS [Search390.com] A Search390.com user asked: We execute z/OS 1.4 and CICS TS 2.2 on our mainframe. We are attempting to implement an HTTP post from CICS to a Web server. Looking at the documentation it does not look like it is possible. We can make an HTTP call to CICS but it looks like we can't make an HTTP call from within CICS. The only way it seems is through Java using the JVM. We are planning to try this by linking from a COBOL module to a Java program running within Unix services. Is this possible? Is there a better way? To see the answer, click here.
