One of the latest developments in the Zowe project is the integration of Zowe with the Visual Studio Code (VS Code) editor\, providing a seamless and modern interface for developing mainframe applications. At the heart of this integration is the Zowe Explorer extension for VS Code\, which provides a set of tools and features for working with mainframe systems. With Zowe Explorer\, developers can browse mainframe datasets and files\, edit JCL files\, submit batch jobs\, and view system logs\, all from within the familiar VS Code interface. This greatly simplifies the development process\, allowing developers to use their preferred tools and workflows when working with mainframe systems. The Zowe Explorer extension also includes support for DevOps tools and practices\, allowing developers to build\, test\, and deploy mainframe applications using familiar DevOps workflows. For example\, Zowe Explorer includes support for Git\, allowing developers to easily manage mainframe code alongside code from other platforms. Zowe Explorer also includes support for Jenkins\, allowing developers to automate build and deployment processes and streamline the development cycle. In addition to its development features\, Zowe Explorer also provides tools for managing and monitoring mainframe systems. With Zowe Explorer\, administrators can view system metrics\, manage mainframe resources\, and perform system-level tasks such as IPLs and shutdowns\, all from within the VS Code interface. Zowe Explorer enables developers and administrators to be more productive and efficient than ever before. Whether you are a seasoned mainframe professional or a developer just starting out in the mainframe world\, the Zowe Explorer extension for VS Code is sure to be a valuable tool in your toolkit. \n4-5 pm: Is the Mainframe Ready for Open Source? Joe Winchster\, IBM; Joe Bostian\, IBM; Steven Perva\, Ensono; Donna Hudi\, Phoenix Software; Vaughan Marshall\, Broadcom; Jeff Cherrington\, Rocket Software \nThe mainframe is a secure\, reliable\, trusted computing platform. Open Source Software is often viewed as hobbyists coming up with free ephemeral stuff that may or may not work\, may or may not be secure\, and is supported through on-line public forums. How can these worlds collide and co-exist\, or can they ? This panel discusses all of the issues surrounding this exciting area that to some is driving the platform forward\, and to others is driving it off a cliff. \nWednesday\, August 16:\n8-9 am: Using IBM Z System Automation API with Zowe and Kafka in a Modern DevOps Environment – Michael Alexander Carl Seeburger\, IBM \nLearn about exciting new Z System Automation capabilities supporting IBM Z and DevOps for enhanced operations management: – The ability to access your automation environment via the new IBM Z Systems Automation Operations (REST) API; – Zowe CLI and its plugins for System Automation and Netview to support Admins\, Operators and Developer on z/OS; – Publish System Automation event messages via SA Info Broker to Kafka and visualize in Service Management Unite dashboards. \n5:15-6:15 pm: 5 for f: Top 5 Use Cases for Zowe over last 5 years – Rose Sakach\, Broadcom\, and Michael Bauer\, Broadcom \nSince 2020\, the Arcati Mainframe yearbook has predicted exponential increases in Zowe adoptions. By the end of 2023 close to 70% of mainframe organizations – i.e. more and more of you – will be doing something with Zowe. In this session\, we’ll showcase the most popular Zowe use cases. Whether you are a Systems Programmer\, DBA\, Security Administrator\, DevOps Architect or Developer you will gain an understanding of the value of Zowe as we demo and explain 5 common Zowe use cases to help priortize and expedite your adoption journey. \nThursday\, August 17:\n8-9 am: Accelerate Your Mainframe Modernization using Zowe-Conformant REST APIs – Elliot Jalley\, Broadcom and Miroslav Strnad \nMainframe modernization is being driven by a number of factors\, not least the requirement to move fast while retaining the absolute focus on security. Embracing open-first technology is key. Opening the platform to ensure the mainframe remains vibrant into the future. This session focuses on the growing number of mainframe infrastructure REST APIs that provide standardized\, programmatic access to mainframe resources. Join me to learn how Zowe-conformant APIs play a vital role in a risk-managed\, in-place moderniztion strategy that leads to faster delivery\, higher quality and increased efficiency\, all without compromising on security and compliance. \n10:30-11:30: Leveraging Zowe to Enable SCM Actions from Service Now – Thomas McQuitty\, Broadcom \nLearn how Mainframe SCMs can be driven via ServiceNow for actions such as software change approvals using the ServiceNow MID Server.

Sometimes these interactions and resources can cause transient short term performance issues. In the worst cases\, these transient issues can repeat\, worsen\, and result in broader service degradation\, critical situations\, and even outages. When things go wrong\, Subject Matter Experts spend significant time (e.g. days\, weeks\, or months depending on the issue) looking for clues needed to define the root cause. SMF 98 and 100 records can be generated on synchronized\, 5-second intervals with micro-summary\, exceptionalism enriched data. Subject Matter Experts can analyze this data to identify and correlate short interval anomalies with only 15 minutes of data\, reducing the time required to diagnose complex critical situations\, service degradation\, and outages. In addition\, Subject Matter Experts can proactively identify repeating transient workload resilience risks\, providing an opportunity to diagnose the root cause and address it before a crit-sit or outage occurs. \n2:45-3:45 pm: Customer Use Cases and Success Stories with Zowe – Joe Winchester\, IBM\, Murali P. Panchalingam\, IBM and Rose Sakach\, Broadcom \nMany customers have been successful using Zowe to transition their companies to mainframe modernization in-place\, blending existing pracitces with modern toolchains.

Zowe 1.0 entered in maintenance mode\, Zowe 2.0 became the “active” Long Term Release (LTS) of Zowe from the open community. It is based on 2+ years feedback on Zowe 1.0 from enterprise customers and the z/OS mainframe community at large. In this presentation you will learn about the enhancements that are available as part of Zowe 2.0 and following releases as well as you will learn what you need to know to migrate from Zowe 1.0 to Zowe 2.0. \n1:15-2:15 pm: Using the Right Tool for the Job – When to Use z/OSMF\, Ansible and\, Zowe– Luisa Martinez\, Software Engineer; Barbara Leinberger\, Modernization Specialist; and Frank John DeGilio \nYour modernization toolbox should employ as many varied tools as the toolbox you have on your workbench at home. One tool  alone will never be the answer. In recent times\, many people are finding themselves confused about when to use z/OSMF\,  Ansible and  Zowe. In this session\, we will be taking a  closer look at the problems each tool aims to solve and their approach to solving them to allow you to make informed decisions on the tools to use when. \nTuesday\, March 7:\n9:15-10:15 am: End to End Software Delivery: From Inception to Production – Michael Bauer\, Product Manager at Broadcom \nModern DevOps practices are critical to delivering business value quickly and safely. In this session\, we will cover the journey of an enhancement request to a mainframe application. We will: ? Apply agile management tooling to prioritize work ? Leverage Enterprise Git Servers for source control and collaboration ? Code using modern editors like Visual Studio Code ? Validate and Package changes using process-controlled CI/CD pipelines ? Protect the software supply chain by leveraging attestations ? Deploy the verified package to production environments \n10:30-11:30 am: How Open Source Modernized the Mainframe – John Mertic\, Executive Director at Open Mainframe Project \nThe open source movement has rapidly become the way code is being developed for today’s smart and agile businesses. This session will cover how an “open mainframe” is the perfect solution for deploying open source on an enterprise computing platform. Attendees will learn how the open source community has gathered around the mainframe platform and how open source projects such as Zowe\, COBOL\, a new working group focused on Mainframe Modernization and more are the starting point for open development. \n10:30-11:30 am: Tour Top Zowe Client Use Cases from medium.com/zowe! – Dan Kelosky\, Principal Software Engineer at Broadcom and Michael Bauer\, Product Manager at Broadcom \nIn this session we will walk through some common user scenarios for Zowe clients as outlined in our most popular blogs! Instead of reading the content\, we will demo and explain the steps outlined in our top blogs with live Q&A. \n1:15-2:15 pm: Back to the Future with COBOL – John Mertic\, Executive Director at Open Mainframe Project \nCOBOL is the lifeblood of mainframe applications that power the global econony. It is reliable\, proven and the foundation of most mission critical financial services at the world’s biggest banks. Yet few people realize or acknowledge the profound impact the COBOL language has had over its 60-year history. In this panel\, we’ll take a look at the COBOL’s history\, the sudden demand for it\, the academic landscape and the efforts of Open Mainframe Project and other organizations to create resources for COBOL and showcase its value to a broader audience. \nWednesday\, March 8:\n4-5 pm: Diagnosing Transient Performance Issues by Analyzing SMF 98 and 100 Records in Zowe – Daniel Wiegand\, Senior Product Manager; and Daniel Rosa\, Senior Software Engineer at IBM \nz/OS transactional workloads contain interactions between IBM z/OS components\, middleware\, Independent Software Vendor (ISV) products\, client applications and shared resources. Sometimes these interactions and resources can cause transient short term performance issues. In the worst cases\, these transient issues can repeat\, worsen\, and result in broader service degradation\, critical situations\, and even outages. When things go wrong\, Subject Matter Experts spend significant time (e.g. days\, weeks\, or months depending on the issue) looking for clues needed to define the root cause. SMF 98 and 100 records can be generated on synchronized\, 5-second intervals with micro-summary\, exceptionalism enriched data. Subject Matter Experts can analyze this data to identify and correlate short interval anomalies with only 15 minutes of data\, reducing the time required to diagnose complex critical situations\, service degradation\, and outages. In addition\, Subject Matter Experts can proactively identify repeating transient workload resilience risks\, providing an opportunity to diagnose the root cause and address it before a crit-sit or outage occurs. \nLearn more about the conference at its main event website here.

SUMMARY:LFX Mentorship Showcase
DESCRIPTION:The LFX Mentorship Showcase\, hosted online on January 12\, is an opportunity for graduating mentees of the LFX Mentorship program to showcase the work they completed during their session term. Learn more about the 29 graduated mentees of the Linux Kernel\, Cloud Native Computing Foundation\, Open Mainframe Project\, RISC-V\, Hyperledger\, and LF Networking mentorship programs as they share the specific projects they worked on during their mentorship\, highlighting the contributions they made. Visit the main event page to learn more or register: https://events.linuxfoundation.org/lfx-mentorship-showcase/. \nThis virtual event is free to attend and open to anyone who would like to learn more about the experiences of LF Mentorship Program mentees\, find out more about some of the programs our projects are working on\, recruit new talent\, and support new developer contributions. \n \nOpen Mainframe Project is excited to announce that two graduate mentees will be featured in this showcase – Hartanto Ario Widjaya\, a student at the Singapore Management University and mentee of the COBOL Programming Course\, and Sudhanshu Dubey\, an Application Development Associate at Accenture and mentee of the OBOL Working Group. Please see their presentation description and times below and add it to your schedule. \nCOBOL: Now and Tomorrow\, Hartanto Ario Widjaya \n10:05 – 10:15 pm EST \nhttps://sched.co/tRX6 \nDuring the Open Mainframe Project Mentorship Program\, Ahmed and Hartanto improved upon the materials of the COBOL Programming Course\, a project set to provide free and accessible COBOL training for everyone. Amidst the needs for COBOL programmers\, they help to enable the next generation of learners to add COBOL to their tech toolkit. The project community has been amazing\, everyone is welcoming of us\, and we get to work with various people who are happy to help us even though we are new to the field. Unlike most projects\, our project is courseware-based. So we get to explore COBOL in great detail to add to the course. Furthermore\, we also learned how to communicate better with each other and got exposed to mainframes\, where millions of lines of COBOL code are still in operation today. \nCOBOL Modernization: Renovating Core IT Applications\, Sudhanshu Dubey \n10:29-10:39 EST \nhttps://sched.co/tRXF \nBillions of lines of COBOL are still running the core IT of thousands of companies but those applications have largely been left out of modern advances in IT. In partnership with the Open Mainframe Project\, we asked student intern Sudhanshu Dubey to demonstrate the options for modernizing an existing COBOL application to address the business needs and prove the future possibilities. \nDuring the project Sudhanshu did the following: \n\nRan analysis tools on a monolithic banking core application\nIdentified key services that could be externalized\nModernized the user experience\n\nIf a university student can do it\, certainly you can too. It was a wonderful experience working with my mentors and the project community. The mentors were very welcoming and supportive. They understood that I am new to this and helped me at each step without putting too much pressure on me. Similarly\, the project community helped me with everything I needed and it was fun interacting with other mentees. While working on the project I learned COBOL\, CICS and the MicroFocus tools I used. Also I learned modernization techniques. We presented at a lot of places which improved my speaking and presentation skills. Add it to your schedule here: https://sched.co/tRXF \nThe Linux Foundation’s Mentorship Program helps developers – many of whom are first-time open source contributors – gain the skills and experience necessary to contribute effectively to open source communities.

SUMMARY:IBM TechU
DESCRIPTION:Join Open Mainframe Project at IBM’s Tech U\, a virtual training event happening on October 25-28. TechU is the The premier virtual training event for deep technical content on IBM IT Infrastructure products and solutions. \nOpen Mainframe Project will have two sessions on-demand: \nBack to the Future with COBOL – John Mertic\, the Linux Foundation\, and Misty Decker\, Micro Focus \nCOBOL is the lifeblood of mainframe applications that power the global econony. It is reliable\, proven and the foundation of most mission critical financial services at the world’s biggest banks. Yet few people realize or acknowledge the profound impact the COBOL language has had over its 60-year history. \nIn this discussion\, we’ll take a look at the COBOL’s history\, the sudden demand for it\, the academic landscape and the efforts of Open Mainframe Project and other organizations to create resources for COBOL and showcase its value to a broader audience. \nHow we used Zowe to create VIVA\, an Alexa and Siri rival – Alex Kim and Len Santalucia\, Vicom Infinity \nI used Open Mainframe Project’s Zowe framework to create VIVA (Vicom Infinity Voice Assistant). We used API connectio to integrate many other system API’s the mainframe\, but we wanted to use open source. This session will discuss moving from monolithic applications toward an API economy. That means leveraging microservices and DevOps practices\, with a fully integrated and automated pipeline enabled by a hybrid cloud architecture plus best-of-breed\, open source tooling and communities such as Zowe. I will offer a live demonstration of how VIVA works as an enterprise application use case. \nLearn more about the conference or register here: https://www.ibm.com/training/events/vtechu2021. \n  \n
