z/OS Connect EE vision statementsA unified end to end story for naturally RESTful APIs and z/OS subsystems

API compositionAn API developer can create a natural REST API using a selection of existing or new assets without being forced to write any new code in single common tooling experience

API deploymentAPI deployment can be automated by extending an existing enterprise change control process, or performed manually

API discoveryA standard user of the IBM APIM Portal can locate APIs hosted in z/OS Connect using business relevant context and place them under management without having to interact with any of the provider systems

What’s in a URI ? JSON-RPC style service vs. a “naturally RESTful” API (extreme example)

Basic service enablementURI conveys service, maybe method, payload can convey everything!

Create a new accountPOST /orders/createAccBODY name(Fred), address(…RESPONSE accNum=9999

Review status of an orderPOST /orders/orderStatusBODY accnum=9999,invoice=380ZRESPONSE result=Stock 5 days

Delete an accountPOST /orders/delAccountBODY accnum=9999RESPONSE result=OK

Post-install: Create USS symlink After SMP/E install has completed, the post-install shell script zconsetup is used to create the extensions folder as a symlink to /var/zosconnect/v2r0/extension. This directory contains the Liberty feature properties files used at run-time for both z/OS Connect, and any additional Liberty product features (e.g. IMS mobile).

The target location of the extensions directory symlink is restricted to being /var/zosconnect/v2r0.

The z/OS Connect EE administrator must create the /var/zosconnect file system if it does not already exist.

A new pricing metric

Tiered, simultaneous instance-based pricing

34

What about pricing?

It is IBM’s intention that z/OS Connect EE will introduce an innovative new pricing model on z Systems.

“per instance” pricing metric

• Based upon the maximum number of active concurrent address spaces

• Tiered usage bands • provides increasing value as the size of an overall

deployment rises; low cost of entry for small projects

• Auditing is required through SMF89-2 records • hourly snapshots of the number of concurrent

instances, reports created with utility IFAURP
