SUMMARY:IBM Z Council – Cincinnati\, OH
DESCRIPTION:Open Mainframe Project members Vicom Infinity and Broadcom are hosting IBM Z Council in Cincinnati\, OH. \nThis session will update attendees on IBM’s latest IBM Z hardware developments and new Security\, Data and Management solutions. \nWe’ll kick off the session with a presentation by Rich Hornor from IBM Z Offering Management as he introduces us to the IBM z15 – the latest generation of IBM Z. With new industry-first capabilities\, IBM z15 supports your digital transformation providing superior security and resiliency for mission-critical cloud workloads. \nNext\, Rich will do a deeper dive into one of the z15’s most exciting features – Data Privacy Passports. The movement of data between partners and third parties is often the root cause of data breaches. This capability provides transparent\, end-to-end\, data-level protection and privacy. Now\, you can encrypt your data\, grant and revoke access to it\, and maintain control of it – even as it moves off the system of record. \nThen\,  Jerome Gilbert will discuss Db2 DevOps. Many organizations are moving to create a strategy around continuous integration and continuous delivery\, even for data. Db2 for z/OS has developed solutions to address developers’ desires for speed and the freedom to try things out. Db2 DevOps makes the platform much more attractive for developers without giving up control of the Db2 development environment. \nFinally\, Steve Bohn will introduce Zowe.  Zowe is a project under the Linux Foundation Collaborative Project\, the Open Mainframe Project\, intended to bridge the divide between modern enterprise applications and the mainframe.  Learn what this means for your organization\, and for all Z companies around the world. \nSign up here.

Guiherme Cartier will cover various use cases and demos related to automation and interface improvements with great productivity and happiness gains.\n\n\n\n2:15-3;15 pm: Zowe\, APIs and More for System Administrators (Room 302\, session number 25893) \n\nOMP’s Zowe is focused on APIs\, you might think that is is a topic meant exclusively for Application Developers and DevOps teams\, but its impact will be far reaching.  Haley Fung will present Zowe’s three main deliverables include an application framework\, an API mediation layer\, and a command line interface\, which provides a core set of commands for working with data sets\, USS\, JES\, as well as issuing TSO and console commands. Attend this session to build your knowledge base on Zowe and be ahead of the curve.\n\n4:45-5:45 pm: Zowe CLI – DevOps: Adapting Enterprise Development to Cloud Computing with Hosted Development Environments (Panel Discussion – Room 317-318\, session number 25160) \n\nAs the anticipated gains associated with application and infrastructure cloud hosting (public\, hybrid\, or private) come to fruition through greater scalability\, utility-based pricing\, and provisioning efficiencies requiring fewer platform-centric technical skills\, how are IT organizations transitioning application development environments?  Should they?  Will the cloud-hosting returns be a wash if development and delivery environments remain traditional? The panel\, featuring Rosalind Radcliffe with IBM\, Vaughan Marshall with Broadcom\, and Rose Sakach from Broadcom\, will discuss hosted development environments\, what they are\, what they are not\, and how they may be the next best move in bringing news skills to the platform.\n\n\nFriday\, August 9:\n\n8:30-9:30 am: BYOD Lab – Zowe CLI – Learn How to Construct a DevOps Pipeline for a CICS COBOL Application (Room 401-402\, session number 25156)\n\n\nIf you are interested in Zowe and/or DevOps\, this is an excellent opportunity to gain hands-on experience with the Zowe Command Line Interface. In this “Bring Your Own Device” session\, you’ll be working within a modern cloud IDE workspace. You’ll learn how the Zowe CLI enables you to control\, script and develop on the mainframe like any other cloud platform. Zowe also empowers you to use industry standard open source tooling of your choice! In this lab\, you will compile\, deploy\, run and test a CICS COBOL application as part of a DevOps pipeline. Dan Kelosky and Michael Bauer from Broadcom will be on-site to present how to work with Zowe and provide guidance as attendees give it a try. To participate in this session\, all you need on your own PC is access to the internet and a browser. \n\n11:15 am – 12:30 pm: Why and How Can Zowe Be Extended by a Tools Vendor or Customer’s IT Shop (Room 305\, session number 25412) \n\nOMP’s Zowe is designed and built to be an extensible and open platform.  One of its goals is to have a rich set of base function that is freely and widely available under an open source license.  Another one of its goals is to provide a platform onto which vendors can host their tools through extension and plugin points.  This is equally applicable to mainframe IT shops who want to build out their own in-house value add to Zowe to rehost their own internal proprietary systems.  This talk is designed to cover how to extend Zowe from a technical perspective and cover the different patterns of extension\, together with showing the samples and guides that can be used to showcase each extension playbook.  At the end of the talk attendees who are looking at Zowe as a platform to extend and host their own tooling\, whether for commercial or internal user\, will know more about how to do this as well as the benefit of why.  Joe Winchester with IBM will also discuss their vision for the future and welcome all feedback and questions for missing onboarding patterns that the Zowe team should look to provide\n\n\nTo register for the event\, click here.
