Using IBM HTTP Server and Rexx to view z/OS STC output via SDSF

How To


Summary

Customers often have developers who have a requirement to view job logs or syslog stored in the z/OS JES2 Spool, but who are unfamiliar with 3270, TSO, ISPF and Spool Display and Search Facility (SDSF). Providing a web browser interface to the JES spool increases their productivity and reduces their reluctance to work on the z/OS platform. The Rexx program supplied with this document can be installed in an IBM HTTP Server powered by Apache on z/OS. Installation of the Rexx program into the HTTP server allows any permitted user with browser access toview these spool datasets. The end user can then navigate a simple menu to view the output they want to see.
