Hi, Java on OS/390 (mainframe) under USS (Unix System Services) works really, really well. I am the Architect / Developer for a prototype Java application that will run on OS/390. It will use the following technologies: Java, XML4J, MQSeries, IMS, OS/390 datasets (not HFS files).
Basically, the Java application on OS/390 will retrieve a XML message from a queue of a queue manager on OS/390. Parse the message for product codes, etc.. then execute an IMS transaction using Java OTMA Callable Interface (not under IMS BMP or MPP). The Java application will take the reply from the IMS transaction and format as a CSV (Comma Separated Value) file. The CSV formatted data will be written to a queue and also written to an OS/390 dataset (backup only). People always get weird about mainframes. There is nothing weird about them. Think of a mainframe as an incredibly fast server. Here are some links for the technologies mention above: Java on OS/390 v1.3.1 http://www-1.ibm.com/servers/eserver/zseries/software/java/ XML4J v3.2.1 - An excellent XML parser http://www-1.ibm.com/servers/eserver/zseries/software/xml/ MQSeries (WebSphere MQ) SupportPac - MA88 http://www.ibm.com/software/ts/mqseries/txppacs/ma88.html Accessing OS/390 datasets (not HFS files) JRIO - it is included with Java v1.3.1 but here is a link: http://www-1.ibm.com/servers/eserver/zseries/software/java/jrio/overview.html Using the Java OTMA Callable Interface http://www-1.ibm.com/servers/eserver/zseries/zos/unix/bpxa1ty2.html Interesting reading and links about Java & XML on OS/390 http://www-1.ibm.com/servers/corner/ Hope that helps. later Roger Lacroix Enterprise Architect Capitalware Inc. http://www.capitalware.biz Quoting Venkatesh Prasad Mysore Seshadri <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > Hi, > > There is a need to run macros or rexx commands on the > mainframe by passing parameters from a html. > We are using mocha to see the mainframe console. > Is there any way of doing the same using Java/html? > Any links, references or examples will be usefull. > > Thanks in advance, > Veni > > __________________________________________________ > Do You Yahoo!? > Yahoo!
