1 – Workload Replay in a Continuous Delivery world
Is your production cloning for development/test a quick and fully automated procedure? Does it consider differences of the underlying hardware and does it allow to choose and automatically run SQL workloads?
By using a highly customizable XML script and exploiting virtualization features we can make a clone YOUR clone and even make it behave like production. Most importantly SQL Capture/Replay fills the gap of automatically running your production workload for testing. It captures production SQL 24/7 by exploiting highly efficient IFCID-via-OPx technology and prepares statements for replay. This enables you to capture any SQL being executed and keep them in sets of workloads to be selected for testing.
Learn how to integrate individual tasks for flexible automation and how to choose from four different levels of testing. These include simple anomaly alerting, access path verification, cloning and workload capture/replay to easily discover different behavior resulting from changes, like new application releases, or environment upgrades. Find out how easily you can pick and choose with Continuous Delivery Deployment Check from Software Engineering GmbH.

2 – „ZOWE – The zGUI (r)evolution – First hands-on experience and best practices“
For a couple of years, the importance of a GUI for z/OS has seemed to grow significantly. This may be one of the most important factors if the z platform is to remain strategic over the next decade and beyond – probably less because of the potential benefit of a specific GUI implementation, but simply because recent generations of DBAs, SYSPROGS, and Programmers aren’t that familiar with the beloved green screen of those who’we been working with ISPF for decades.
DS, RDz, DSM, z/OSMF -to name just IBMs recent ones- always had a common downside, which I believe customers didn’t like at all: Users were unable to access all mainframe products from, and through, a common interface.

Bottom line:
We need a GUI that not only comes with a monitoring dashboard, job submission capabilities, includes a JES explorer, data set explorer and editor, scripting for automation and interaction with all major product, like CICS, Db2,
BUT it should be used by ALL vendors!
Of course, this GUI should also seamlessly integrate into all those robust security and resource management components we’re already familiar with. It needs to be the preferred interface for administrative tasks, development, test, and operation, no matter if using old applications, or brand-new ones.

Am I asking for too much?
ZOWE – THE z ecosystem to securely manage, control, script and develop – seems to be the way to go.
It comes with a RESTful API, an extensible command line interface and an HTML 5 web-based UI framework designed to fuse everything we already have with anything we want to do today and tomorrow. It is exactly what many of us have been asking for years. We see a clear commitment from some of the most important companies in the mainframe world and we also see the technical components required to do our daily work and to open up new opportunities for tomorrows modern apps.

All well-integrated into RLF, SAF and USS and
interfacing with MVS, Db2 , CICS, and JES
as well as products from a variety of other vendors
and by the way, it’s EPL-2.0 (Eclipse Public License)

Late 2018 our company strategically decided to build UIs based on the ZOWE ecosystem.
Learn how you can quickly define entire workflows and interact and control them using a Db2 z/OS cloning example along with workload capture and replay in a simulation environment – fully automated quality assurance as part of continuous delivery in an agile world.
