Lionel, I have done a “conversion” of an ISPF App to a Web App (an ISPF App used by RACF Admins to Reset Passwords; to make it available to the Help Desk). I did it as a USS REXX CGI using HTTPS, so I could secure the authentication; but all the permissions needed to be embedded into the CGI

Thanks everyone - what I'm looking for seems to be the web enablement toolkit. Now just need to learn how to use it *AND* find a way to convert ISPF panels into HTML as a starting place from which to clean it up and make it look like it fits in the web. Lionel B. Dyck < Website:

There was such application (except the logon issue) part of ispf but i think it was deprecated (tx god, it was very unsecure). Is it a one region for one user application? If so, you do not need to manage sessions like a web server, just a simple listener in rexx. There is a French product that

Well, the simplest way would be for your ISPF application to be a web server, but that complicates the TCP/IP infrastructure and security profile. It's probably better design to have an application within ZOSMF or your normal web server. -- Shmuel (Seymour J.) Metz

Good point. XRC is one direction. In order to use the opposite direction one has to have XRC feature on remote DASD box. And this open broad topic of DR scenarios, drills, etc. -- Radoslaw Skorupka Lodz, Poland W dniu 14.07.2020 o 20:15, Jesse 1 Robinson pisze: Thanks for the overview.

Actually not. It is possible (not recommended!) to have shared DASD with different addresses. Example: CPCa and CPCb are connected to same DASD box. CPCa use dev num 3000-33FF and CPCb use dev num 1000-13FF for the same devices. Devices can be varied online on both CPCs - local and remote.
