I just read RMM I&C Guide. It says: "go to the administrative console of

Q: Does it require WAS *or* HTTP Server ?
Background is quite obvious IMHO: HTTP is no-cost feature of the system,
while WAS is fee based.
Ahhh, yes. This is why I built my suite of courses to
build a webserver on your z/OS system using HTTP: no
need to get WebSphere until you need some fancy dancy
features, such as EJBs. A little training and some work
and your running a sophisticated website.
From an earlier post:
FastPath to z/OS-hosted Web Sites
Host a Web site on your z/OS platform, without buying
WebSphere. Use your existing COBOL (or PL/I or Assembler)
programmers to develop and maintain a web site on your
z/OS system (no need to hire new staff).
In just 10 days (instead of 26 days) we can train a
dozen or so of your z/OS developers (or a small, select
team) how to do this! For a one time charge, with some
special benefits (read on).
To implement the FastPath approach, we have extracted
just the essential courses needed to bring experienced
z/OS developers up to speed. In 10 days (two weeks) we
would teach this sequence of courses:
* Introduction to z/OS UNIX
* You and z/OS and The World Wide Web
* Introduction to CGIs on z/OS
* one of our language-specific CGI writing
courses (COBOL, PL/I, Assembler, or REXX)
What the students will learn:
+ How to run under the z/OS UNIX shell (omvs)
+ The UNIX HFS file system
+ Environment variables: what they are, how to use
+ 50+ UNIX commands
+ Copying files between HFS and classic MVS formats
+ oedit, obrowse, and ishell
+ How to access HFS files from non-UNIX apps
+ ISPF 3.17, the UNIX Directory List utitlity (z/OS 1.8+)
+ Basic flow of data on the Web
+ Building a web site on z/OS UNIX
+ HTML and XHTML - extensive, standards based
+ X/HTML style: attributes, elements, style sheets
+ CSS (Cascading Style Sheets)
+ Client side maps
+ Embedding multimedia
+ JavaScript - solid, practical introduction
+ DOM - the Document Object Model - solid, practical intro.
+ Forms and controls
+ Frames and Framesets
+ Creating and using cookies
+ Writing and using CGI programs
(COBOL, PL/I, Assembler, or REXX)
which is enough to create an interesting web site,
running under z/OS, which can serve static pages
as well as dynamically build and serve web pages
using CGI technology.
Note also that many of these skills are transferable
to other UNIX and Web-related environments.
One time price:
* In the continental US: $22,000
* Outside the US: $25,000
Price is _all inclusive_:
* Tuitions for up to 16 students
* Instructor travel and living
Student materials:
* We ship you pdf files, you do the printing
* AND you get to keep the pdf files for the
print masters! (over 1200 pages of content)
(but no instructor notes nor lecture versions)
Option: two sets of sessions (total four weeks)
* Two offerings run in parallel (morning & afternoon)
* Train twice as many people
for less than twice the price
* All students can work half days and be in
class half days
* Price: $40,000 anywhere in the world
Here's a chance to give the technology a trial run
at a very reasonable price and low investment of
time.
z/OS: not just for batch, CICS, and IMS any more.
What's missing? Well, to get all the details, bells,
and whistles, students would normally take a much
fuller curriculum; for the FastPath we have chosen
the central courses that students can use to build
on, copying and modifying code to meet their needs.
The fuller curriculum provides deeper and wider
coverage of the underlying skills. Any FastPath
student who feels they need more in-depth information
can always go back to specific courses in the full
curriculum as needed.
The standard, full curriculum would be something like this:
* Using LE Services in z/OS - 3 days
* Language specific updates (Enterprise COBOL, HLASM 1.5, etc.)
(2-4 days, depending on language)
* Secrets of Inter-Language Communication in z/OS (w/ DLLs) - 3.5 days
* Introduction to z/OS UNIX - 3 days
* Shell script programming in z/OS UNIX - 3 days
* You and z/OS and the World Wide Web - 5 days
* Developing Applications for z/O UNIX - 3 days
* Introduction to CGIs in z/OS - 1 day
* Language-specific CGI courses - 1 day each
