VM education
I am interested in learning if there is a inexpensive way to learn VM or z/VM. Does anyone know if there are education providers (I'm thinking colleges or IT education services) provideres. that include a account on a VM system? Thank you, Bob Molerio

Re: VM education
Obviously (especially since it's fresh in our minds after a productive week in Tampa, FL) there is always SHARE. There are hundreds of sessions over the course of the week. From beginning education to deep dives in particular subjects. While most of those speaking at SHARE are not formally trained in education, SHARE is still a terrific educational bargain. The next SHARE is in San Diego, CA this August. To learn more, check out: www.share.org IBM has a similar conference called the IBM z9 and zSeries Expo, see: http://www.vm.ibm.com/events/techconf.html IBM also has formal z/VM education, some instructor-led, some by DVD, etc. see: http://www.vm.ibm.com/education/ Other vendors also offer formal education.

Web Services, SOAP from CMS
Has anyone had success accessing web services (SOAP, WSDL) from CMS? Stev e Gantry talked about wanting to do this from assembler in the thread below. I have no ne ed for assembler. (I prefer REXX or CMS Pipelines, but we also have a C compiler.) We're not allowed to use LDAP to access our Corporate LDAP Directory -- w e have to use a Java API or web services. No Java in CMS any more (and it performed really poo rly when we did have one). There are tools out there, but they seems to be mostly Java. SOAP i s supposed to be platform and language independent, but coding the whole thing from scratc h looks like it would take me quite a while. Basically, all I have is the WSDL documents for various web services. (WS DL is in the form of an XML document.) I found a fair amount of information on web services at h ttp:// www.w3schools.com/wsdl/default.asp -- but no examples in REXX or CMS Pip elines. On Tue, 21 Mar 2006 13:51:23 -0600, Chuck Arney [EMAIL PROTECTED] wro te: If you are going to talk to a true Web Service via a SOAP Server, you wi ll need to create the XML document containing the SOAP Envelope and the parameters defined in the services WSDL in the SOAP Body. Then use the HTTP protocol to send the request to the SOAP server and receive the response SOAP Envelope XML document. It's certainly doable in assembler but it will be a fair learning curve if you are not already very familiar with Web Services and HTTP.

That's one of the things I need guidance on. The application would run on VM and request the information from a WAS server running on Intel. That information would then be returned to the VM app. I assumed they would communicate via TCPIP I've done this using Rexx sockets but in the other direction. i.e. I have an app. running on an http server running on Linux (running on an IFL running VM) using hipersockets, etc. It requests info from VM, sends it back and displays it on a web page. But remember, I'd really like to avoid using Rexx sockets. If it is absolutely the only way to do it, then so be it. Yeah, if they're running on different boxes (it was not clear that WAS wasn't running on z/Linux on the same box or under the same VM instance in your original problem formulation) TCP is the obvious choice. I'm sure assembler interfaces to sockets exist and work just fine, but why not RXSockets? It's way, way easier than any alternative that I'm aware of. Adam
Active Directory from CMS
Has anyone been able to access the Microsoft Active Directory from CMS? (This is an alternative to the web services access to the Corporate LDAP Directory that I mentioned in my other append.) The idea would be to have people accessing my web server application have the ir userid pre-validated by their login to their PC. We would also need some other information that A ctive Directory possesses: the person's email address and person number. I know essentially NOTHING about Active Directory.
