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.

The talk will include hands-on demos where folks can ask questions and get the presenters to tweak and re-configure on the fly\, and will show how to use SMP/E for maintenance\, z/OSMF workflows\, portable software instances\, dockerhub images. Folks attending the talk will leave with a good knowledge of the best practices and common pitfalls and solutions as well as understand the direction for where Zowe is heading in a k8s and ReadHat Open Shift topology to help them plan their hybrid cloud strategy for Zowe based as well as other USS/Linux tooling. \n3:30-4:30 pm: Zowe (Kotlin) SDK\, A New Project to Connect Mainframes to the Modern Tech Stack – Uladzislau Kalesnikau and Ilya Abnitski\, IBA Group \nTo remain the backbone of the enterprise computing environment\, mainframes need to be connected to a modern tech stack and development tools. The Zowe framework provides many opportunities to bring open source to mainframes. This session will present Zowe Kotlin SDK developed by the IBA Group team to connect z/OSMF and Zowe. The project aims to provide greater flexibility for teams coding in Java or Python and enables them to use Intellij IDE for mainframes. \nTuesday\, March 29 (all times are in CST):\n8-9 am: Automating Complex Mainframe Workflows with Zowe CLI – Petr Plavjanik and Dan Kelosky\, Broadcom \nWouldn’t life be easier if your workflows\, even the most complex ones\, were automated end-to-end? In this session\, you will see how you can leverage existing automation assets and combine them together to create a fully automated process. We will achieve this using Zowe CLI\, TypeScript\, and Jenkins and improve an existing process based on REXX scripts and JCLs. \n9:15-10:15 am: How Zowe Is Opening up the Mainframe to Current and Future Generations of Mainframers – Joe Winchester\, IBM; Leanid Astakou\, Rocket Software; Dan Kelosky\, Broadcom \nThis talk shows how the open mainframe Zowe project is being used by customers to help modernize their mainframe development and IT tools and practices. We will cover the different components given by squad subject matter experts\, with a focus on customer success stories and adoption. The presentation will show the extensibility of the Zowe components into traditional mainframe areas like CICS\, MQ\, IMS and Db2\, as well as modern tooling usages using Jenkins\, GitHub\, Visual Studio Code and more. We will also show how through APIs vendors and customers have built their own Zowe extensions for their z/OS services. Since Zowe was last presented at Share we have introduced support for containers\, with publishing onto docker hub\, multi-factor-authentication\, sysplex distributor high availability\, and are preparing for Zowe version 2. This talk will cover these as well as discuss common customer questions and answers regarding security\, usage of open source on z/OS\, scalability\, and Zowe’s future roadmap. Customers who are new to Zowe wanting to find out more\, customers who are Zowe users wanting to be updated on futures\, vendors wanting to build or update their Zowe extensions\, and students wanting to learn more about education will all benefit from this presentation. \n10:30-11:30 am: How to Enable System Management Integrations in Hybrid Cloud and DevOps Environment through Zowe Extensions – Domenico D’Alterio\, IBM \nZowe™ technology delivers new ways to integrate IBM Z into the enterprise. Zowe helps to make the IBM Z platform easier to learn and use for next-generation IT staff and developers. Come and learn how IBM System Management offerings expand Zowe framework with specific extensions to have an easier way to integrate Automation of system\, applications\, processing and more in a hybrid cloud environment.. Come and learn about use cases that leverage REST API for Automation as well as CLI extensions of Zowe in an hybrid cloud environment. \n2:15-3:15 pm: Zowe in a Container World – Tiefeng Jia\, IBM \nWith the increasing uptake of container-based deployments and shift to open hybrid infrastructure\, learn how you can deploy Zowe as containers using Kubernetes securely and with speed and agility to enable Zowe desktop and API services to work with z/OS resources.  In this session\, you will see a demo and learn about Zowe containerization strategy\, architecture\, security model as well as Zowe conformance criteria with respect to containers. \n3:30-4:30 pm: Zowe V2 – What’s new with Zowe CLI? – Michael Bauer\, Broadcom \nJoin this session to learn of the latest improvements made to the Zowe Command Line Interface. Collectively\, these features provide for easier rollout and adoption of the technology across the enterprise. It is now easy to share configuration information across a user base or store it within an automation project. In addition\, the CLI is now lightning quick! And the installation has been further simplified. If you are an existing user or just interested in leveraging modern tools to develop automation for z/OS\, you won’t want to miss this session! \nWednesday\, March 30 (all times in CST):\n8-9 am: Modern DevOps on CICS from Ansible to Zowe – Joe Winchester\, IBM; Ezriel Gross\, Rocket Software; Stewart Francis\, IBM \nThis talk covers how to do modern CICS DevOps using open source tooling such as Zowe and Ansible. This covers development environments such as Visual Studio Code using GitHub\, CI/CD pipelines built using Jenkins\, and testing tools such as galassa and COBOL Check. Many of these tools have vendor extensions and commercial support offerings from mainframe software companies\, however this talk will very much take the open source first angle and show how to build end to end tooling to support agile development practices end to end. As well as CICS the talk will show this in the context of applications written in COBOL as well as Java\, and transactions exploiting Db2 and MQ on z/OS. For the front end tooling the focus will be on Visual Studio code and the growing family of extensions such as the Zowe Explorer\, as well as free tooling for language awareness\, testing frameworks\, debugging and more. The talk will also cover IntelliJ and Eclipse and the free and open source extensions available. This talk will benefit experienced CICS Developers wishing to learn about and transition away from ISPF or those using vendor tools wishing to see the open source free landscape\, as well as new to the mainframe developers wishing to see how to exploit familiar development environments on top of CICS Transaction Server programs and transactions. \n9:15-10:15: Mainframe Open Education – Fostering the Stewardship of Education Resources – Kelle Veverka\, Broadcom; Viviane Sanches\, IBM; Paul Newton\, IBM \nThe creation\, curation and consumption of Mainframe education happens all the time\, but how do you bring existing efforts together in a way that benefits the Mainframe community\, reduces critical skills gaps\, and makes existing resources readily available? Mainframe Open Education\, a project under the Open Mainframe Project (OMP)\, is bringing community members together from every corner\, empowering them to embrace the stewardship of Mainframe open education resources that will help to cultivate Mainframe knowledge\, onboard new talent\, and provide a place where Mainframe experts share and consume knowledge.

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

SUMMARY:Code PaLOUsa 2021
DESCRIPTION:Codepalousa is a multi-day software development conference designed to cover all aspects of software development regardless of technology stack. The conference features presentations from well-known professionals in the software development community and virtual booths where leading software development companies come to interact with attendees to show off their latest wares. Open Mainframe Project Ambassadors Joe Winchester\, Jessielaine Punongbayan\, Richelle Anne Craw as well as  John Mertic\, Open Mainframe Project Director\, will be presenting several sessions including: \nJoe Winchester\, Wowee it’s Zowe – how the mainframe got its groove again – Thursday\, August 19 at 8:30 am EDT \nThe mainframe is often viewed as a legacy 65 year old computing platform operated by grey (or zero) haired developers typing 8 letter commands into green screens. This talk myth busts that stereotype and discusses the growth of the mainframe in today’s hybrid computing world\, especially around the Linux Foundation’s Zowe project. This provides a command line interface\, a VS Code extension\, academic initiative training courses\, and is a bridge to modern tech stacks around Jenkins\, Node.js\, Swift\, Golang and more. https://www.codepalousa.com/Sessions/1983 \nJessielaine Punongbayan and Richelle Anne Craw: VS Code for Green Screen Developers.  Thursday August 19th 9:45am EST \nMainframe modernization is an unavoidable topic for every developer these days\, whether your tool is the traditional green screen or another IDE. How does the coding experience differ between the two? In this session\, we will showcase a side-by-side comparison on these development environments\, based on our experience using both. We will also dig into what the different mainframe VSCode extensions are\, how to take advantage of automation in VS Code\, and how to integrate product-specific components and other open source tools in the developer workflow. https://www.codepalousa.com/Sessions/1997 \nJessielaine Punongbayan and Richelle Anne Craw: COBOL Coding in the Cloud.  Friday August 20th 8:30am EST \nHow do you imagine coding in COBOL? Join this session as we give you a glimpse of our day as COBOL developers working with Eclipse Che4z\, a mainframe development tool that blurs the lines between mainframe and distributed environments. Come and hear about the tips and tricks we learned first-hand; the technologies involved; and the challenges we experienced\, switching from traditional green screen development to Cloud IDEs. We will discuss the benefits of using a cloud managed mainframe stack and how quickly we can provision our development environment and get started with team collaboration. https://www.codepalousa.com/Sessions/2049 \nJohn Mertic and Joe Winchester: Who said you can’t teach an old dog new tricks? – Friday\, August 20 at 9:45 am EST  \nThe Mainframe computer is over 65 years old\, and has a dual personality of either being viewed as a proprietary thing of the past or else a hidden closed locked down machine as espoused in Hollywood movie plots. The truth is neither\, and a huge amount of mainframe computing workload today comes from open source tooling. This talks show the use of Linux Foundation tools\, especially Zowe\, Jenkins\, modern tools such as VS Code\, IntelliJ\, modern languages like Node.js\, Java\, Swift\, Golang\, and more. A lot of the mainframe’s growth comes not from tech\, but from its ability to build communities and academic learning initiatives. From what was once a platform businesses were leaving due to stagnation\, this talk shows the turnaround and the important lessons to be learned that apply to any technology wishing to survive beyond its 50th birthday.  https://www.codepalousa.com/Sessions/2061 \nLearn more about the conference or register for it here: https://www.codepalousa.com/Default.aspx

SUMMARY:SHARE Virtual
DESCRIPTION:The SHARE virtual conference (#SHAREvirtual21) is hosting its summer session on August 9-13. There will be more than 100 live sessions and 100 on-demand presentations focused on a variety of topics related to mainframes. Several Open Mainframe Project community leaders will be speaking at the event about Zowe\, COBOL and other topics. Take a look at the details below and add these sessions to your schedule. \nMonday\, August 9:\n12 – 12:45 pm: How Zowe made the mainframe open\, simple and familiar – Joe Winchester\, IBM \nThe Zowe project launched at Share in August 2019\, will be two years old this month ! This talk will cover how the project has grown up to where it is today\, with its core components\, its incubators\, its community\, and its customers. The focus will be on how Zowe has been deployed as infrastructure for education classes\, at customer sites for automating system operations and devops tasks\, by developers learning VS Code rather than ISPF\, and by vendors modernizing their mainframe software tools by onboarding them within the Zowe technology stack. Attendees to this talk will get to hear real world examples of where Zowe has been a success\, together with where it didn’t meet customer needs but was able to evolve and add missing or new features. Speakers include a customer\, and a student who has done Master the Mainframe before and after Zowe. \n1:15 – 1:35 pm: What’s new with Zowe CLI? – Rose Sakach and Michael Bauer\, Broadcom \nJoin us for a review of some key CLI features planned for the Zowe V2 LTS release. From converting to the new profile configuration offering easier onboarding for CLI users\, to nearly instantaneous response time for interactive commands\, we will include the value-add details and help prepare you on how best to take advantage of each of them. \n1:40 – 2 pm: Configuring Zowe CLI with new team configuration – Eugene Johnston\, Broadcom \nThe Zowe Team Configuration replaces the current method of defining application profile properties. The goal is to enable team members to easily share their configuration. We will discuss how this changes the way users configure Zowe-CLI. \nTuesday\, August 10:\n10 – 10:30 am: Colleagues in Corvettes Getting Cappuccinos – Greg Lotko\, Broadcom \nJoin us for a fun-filled session and learn about some of the latest mainframe trends and best practices. \n10:45 – 11:05 am: Top 5 (and more) reasons customers modernize with Zowe’s API mediation layer – Rose Sakach and Michal Supak\, Broadcom \nDo not miss this session if you are beyond experimenting with Zowe. We will describe the critical role of the API Mediation layer and share some tips and tricks for installation. \n11:10 – 11:30 am: Using a Zowe CLI plugin to manage mainframe developer workspaces – Vaughn Marshall and Michael Vasak\, Broadcom \nModern developer workflows involve coding in a working directory\, typically opened in an IDE. Using CLI’s like Git\, they are able to easily sync and integrate changes from other developers via a single command. No tracking what you’ve changed or where conflicts lie hidden in the central repo. In this session we’ll see how we constructed a similar experience for mainframe developers using a Zowe CLI plugin. \n11:45 am – 12:05 pm: DIY Zowe Explorer Starter Kit – Jessielaine Caidic Punongbayan and Richelle Anne Craw – Broadcom \n\no you want to build a mainframe VS Code extension but don’t know where to begin? Good news! We have just what you need to get you started. In this session we will talk about building VS Code extensions using Zowe Explorer extensible APIs. We will share code samples\, tips and tricks and best practices so that you don’t have to start from scratch. We will also discuss what you need to keep in mind while building\, in order to be compatible with the Zowe Explorer conformance criteria.\n\nWednesday\, August 11:\n12:45 – 1:30 pm: Do you really understand mainframe modernization? – Ed Airey and Misty Decker\, Micro Focus \nThe phrase Modernization has been used frequently in the last year\, but do you really understand what Modernization means when it comes to Mainframes? Does it mean moving off of the mainframe or rewriting COBOL applications in Java? Modernization means many things to many people and differs based on the requirements and the desired outcome. Today’s demands require mainframe applications to do more for the business—connect\, share\, integrate and secure—across networks\, devices\, platforms and the cloud. All while running the business and keeping the lights on. These mammoth mainframe systems aren’t going away either. Rather than a re-write or replacement strategy which is prone to cost overruns and risk of failure\, IT leaders are looking to modernization as a pragmatic path to achieve IT transformation. During this session\, we will: • introduce a new mind-set to mainframe modernization including how to re-think digital change for IBM Z applications. • Share the research into the effectiveness of various techniques. • explore how your organization can get started quickly along this modernization journey by leveraging best practices\, proven technology and choosing the best modernization technique for your unique situation. \n3:45 – 4:30 pm: Avoid unconscious bias to become a better professional – Misty Decker\, Micro Focus \nWhat does unconscious bias have to do with being an ally? In this session\, we’ll explore this question and in the process learn something about ourselves. We’ll start with a revealing riddle and an exploration of unconscious bias\, learning how we all have biases. Then we’ll discuss what it means to be an ally\, including specific actions you can take to help others. Finally we’ll explore how an awareness of our own biases is essential to being an ally. \n3:45 – 4:30 pm: What’s new in cloud provisioning and management with continuous delivery – Hiren Shah\, IBM \nCloud Provisioning and Management for z/OS allows middleware system programmers to create software service templates that provision IBM® middleware\, such as IBM Customer Information Control System (CICS®)\, IBM DB2®\, IBM Information Management System (IMS™)\, IBM MQ\, and IBM WebSphere Application Server (WAS). System programmers can track software instances that were provisioned from those templates. Application developers can quickly provision and deprovision an environment as needed through a self-service software services marketplace. In this session we will go over new enhancements provided in Cloud Provisioning and Management with continuous delivery stream. \nFriday\, August 13:\n11 – 11:45 am: Shh! Don’t say the M-word; How to talk about mainframes – Misty Decker\, Micro Focus \nTo the non-mainframer\, the word “Mainframe” comes with lots of assumptions\, usually not complimentary. In this session\, we’ll explore the word “Mainframe”. – Explore the wide range of ways people use the word “mainframe” and the confusion that can ensue. – Learn how you can explain what you do in a way anyone can understand. – Learn how to convince people mainframes are cool with just a few words. \nRegister for the SHARE conference here: https://www.share.org/Events/SHARE-Virtual-Experience/Registration. \n

SUMMARY:SHARE Virtual Summit March 2021
DESCRIPTION:SHARE Virtual Summit takes place in March 2-4\, 9-11\, 16-17 and 23-24. On week three – Tuesday\, March 16-17 the conference will focus on DevOps in the Enterprise\, Open Source on Z and Zowe CICS. \nOpen Mainframe Project’s Zowe will be presented in several talks at the conference. \n \nTuesday\, March 9:\n3-4 pm: 28343 – Want to Use IBM Z NetView REST APIs? Here’s How! – Pamela Mclean and James Henderson\, IBM \nIn this session\, our speakers will provide information on configuring the IBM Z NetView REST Server stand-alone and with Zowe and how it can be used with Service Management Unite to view NetView dashboards or to write your own web applications. The speakers will also provide configuration hints and tips on setting up the NetView program to make it easy for you to retrieve data from all NetView programs in your enterprise using a single NetView REST Server. \nTuesday\, March 16:\n10:30-10:55 am: 28363 – Zowe: A User’s Experience from an IT Infrastructure View – Matheus Milani De Oliveira\, Gustavo De Paiva Almeida\, Guilherme Cartier\, IBM \nIBM Services presenting the modernization roadmap leveraging ZOWE\, zOSMF and OpenSource for Mainframe Digital Transformation\, in a DEMO-session focused on showing how integration of products and solutions is possible\, aiming to achive real IT & Business goals in a interactive and fun. \n11-11:25 am: 28453 – Test automation framework of your choice powered by Zowe – Petr Vacula\, Broadcom \nMainframe development teams sometimes create their own test automation tools to automate repetitive testing tasks. Most common reasons to build such tools are that formal test automation products do not fit their application’s needs or simply because there are no good test automation products available. At the same time\, there are many test automation frameworks available for non-mainframe testing\, many of which are open source. What if you could use one of these well established and proven testing frameworks to perform mainframe testing? It can be done by enabling the test automation framework to perform mainframe actions. Zowe client SDK is perfect fit for this duty. \n12-12:25 pm: 28452 – How to configure z/OSMF for Zowe\, Rose Sakach\, Broadcom \nThe IBM z/OS Management Facility (z/OSMF) is delivered with z/OS. Though documented as an optional prerequisite for Zowe\, configuration is highly recommended to fully exploit Zowe’s capabilities. Join this session for an overview of first-time configuration tips\, a list of common problems\, and suggestions for trouble-shooting typical issues. \n1-1:25 pm: 28383 – Easy start in zOS with one of the most popular IDEs – Kiryl Branavitski and Viktar Mushtsin\, IBA Group \nExplaining how open source projects can bring a breath of fresh air to the mainframe world. Inspired by ZOWE VS Code extension\, we are introducing our vision of how to organize the development of zOS applications in the modern IDEs. \n1:30-1:55 pm: 28573 – Muscle Memory: New Zowe Desktop Apps for the Multi-tasker – Sean Grady\, Rocket Software \nWhere did I save that file? I know I just used that dataset… Do blockers like these drive you crazy? Have you ever wished you could explore and manage your datasets\, files\, and USS processes as simply as you do on your own computer? Now you can! Get the latest on the hottest new apps for the Zowe Desktop that give you the user experience your mind and fingertips are already trained to do. Quickly\, easily and effectively handle tasks like finding which process is consuming CPU time\, setting files to the right encoding\, and extracting compressed files. Discover how you can explore and manage your datasets and files per your usual habit and much more. From seasoned veterans to new z/OS users\, these cool apps are must haves for your day-to-day tasks. \n2:30-2:55 pm: 28479 – I Get My CICS on Route Zowe! Using Zowe for CICS Development\, Administration\, Automation and More! Joe Winchester and Russell Bonner\, IBM \nGoogle for CICS development and traditionally you’ll have been be presented with ISPF panels and blogs with CEMT\, CEDA\, and other 4 letter acronyms.  This talk shows how that doesn’t have to be the case\, where Zowe’s command line interface and VS Code extensions allow you to become productive with CICS using open\, simple and familiar interfaces.  The presentation will focus on how an experienced CICS developer can do their job using the Zowe CLI and VS Code extensions including building a devops pipeline in Jenkins and Travis using open source technology.  The talk will also show how a developer who isn’t a CICS expert can navigate their way around JCL\, compilation\, deployment using scripting and familiar automation tools. \nWednesday\, March 17:\n1-1:25 pm: 28478 – Wowee it’s Zowe! Overview and deep dive in how customers\, ISVS\, and the community are using Zowe to transform and modernize the mainframe – Joe Winchester\, IBM and Dan Kelosky\, Broadcom \nZowe is an open source project owned and managed by the Linux Foundation working with a number of software vendors.  This talk will cover the landscape of Zowe\, the community\, the technology\, and its architecture.  The focus will be on the deployment scenarios where since Zowe’s inception customers have deployed Zowe in their shops\, and the different users to which they have adopted and been successful with the technology.  This talk will include co-presenters from customer shops sharing their experiences\, as well as case studies for where Zowe was a good fit for mainframe devops or automation modernization.  The landscape of Zowe covers vendor offerings as well as runtimes such as CICS\, DB2\, IMS\, MQ and more\, so this talk has applicability across the diversity of what the mainframe can offer. \n1:30-1:55 pm: 28578 – How to get Involved in the Zowe Community for fun\, education\, contribution or commercial extensions – Bruce Armstrong\, IBM \nCome learn the many ways you or your organization can get involved in the Zowe open community. The community is so much more than just open source code – it is the people and teams working together to improve the z/OS experience. We will cover how the community is organized\, ways for you to interact with community members and key meetings to get your ideas\, issues and requirements known. Zowe is a multifaceted project consisting of both open source but\, almost more importantly\, a set of executable services with open interfaces for download and immediate use. Bring your questions on how to get started and we will provide answers. The integrated components of Zowe can be used together or you can deploy selected components of Zowe for their specific capabilities. We will discuss deployment options. Come join the Zowe movement!!! Zowe is a project of the Open Mainframe Project. Zowe™ and the Open Mainframe Project™ are trademarks of the Linux Foundation. \n2-2:25 pm: 28455 – Build z/OS-connected apps using Node.js\, Python or Swift Zowe SDKs\, Andrew Harn and Michael Bauer\, Broadcom \nThe Zowe CLI Squad has recently introduced Software Development Kits (SDKs) for Node.js\, Python\, and Swift. These SDKs enable developers to integrate some of the most used Zowe CLI functions into their own projects with minimal development overhead. In this session\, we will briefly describe how the Zowe CLI and the Zowe Explorer VS Code Extension utilize he Zowe Client Node SDK\, what these SDKs have to offer\, and explain how to get started with your own z/OS-connected project using your (Node\, Python\, or Swift) SDK-of-choice! We will also be interested to hear which languages you would like us to develop for next! \n3-3:25 pm: 28539 – Proposed ZOWE Incubator – ZEBRA – Yongkim (Alex) Kim\, Vicom Infinity \nZEBRA(Zowe Embedded Browser for RMF/SMF and APIs) is a proposed incubator project for Linux Foundation’s Open Mainframe ZOWE Project. It intends to provide re-usable and industry compliant JSON formatted RMF/SMF data records\, so that many other ISV SW and users can exploit them using Open-Source SW for many ways. It can serve applications using JSON formatted RMF data thru ZOWE managed APIs to share/re-use them. It has potential to help system programmers\, capacity/performance analyzers use more open-source utilities out there\, perhaps create knowledge base to share among z performance SMEs and users. \n3:30-3:55 pm: 28543 – Access z/OS Performance & Management Data using Zowe CLI and CA SYSVIEW – Michael Heuzey\, Broadcom \nZowe and the Open Mainframe Project are helping mainframers everywhere access their z/OS data and services in new and innovative ways. No longer are you bound to the green screen in order to interact with the mainframe. The new SYSVIEW for Zowe CLI plug-in is the latest way to utilize Zowe to view your mainframe systems and transactions off-platform.\nDiscover how you can harness Zowe and CA SYSVIEW to improve and streamline devops processes. Use cases include help desk ticket creation and CI/CD pipelines. \nRegister for the event at their website: https://event.share.org/register. Check out the rest of the agenda here. \n
