Hi All
I completely agree with Phil - the issue is not whether the Mainframe is open
to the Internet - it’s an issue of complacency vs. correct configuration.
Too many C*O types are so focused on the availability aspect of CIA that they
downplay the risks to the other aspects of that triad -

There is a lot of infrastructure to put in place before that can happen, but
given an HTTP server on the mainframe,
I would expect this to be possible.
As a minimum, NFS would need to be installed/updated, not to mention security
upgrades, OMVS configuration changes,...
Good Luck!

Assuming that you are talking about z/OS, the old HTTP server based on Domino
had a facility that would handle PS, PDS and PDSE: the GWAPIS MVSDS DLL
Service. Unfortunately, the new Apache based HTTP server doesn't have it, so
we've been holding off on converting.

It of course might turn out that nothing changed wasn't correct.
But I/O configuration is a possibility. However, I think that would

In theory yes! But, as others said, you'll need a lot of things to setup in the
first place.
First, you'll have to explain the terms you use.
If it is displayed on a screen, no problem. The emulator will link to it.

Thanks everyone for your replies and thoughts so far.
I'll go back to the users and try and get more information on what exactly they
are hoping to do and how that ties in with the information provided here.

I'm not sure what you're trying to accomplish but SimpList might be able to do
what you want. It integrates the mainframe and PC so you can perform tasks on

Peter makes good points--as always. I was thinking mainly about CSA *usage*.
The real question is when the COMMON/PRIVATE boundary gets set. IODF must be
read and digested very early in IPL, certainly before SYS1.PARMLIB is opened.
