Title: Security, RPA, and automated testing – keys for a modern mainframe
Speakers:
Barbara Ballard, Senior Product Manager, OpenText
Gary Evans, Product Manager, OpenText
Description:
Traditional mainframe systems can be pivotal for digital transformation, as the applications that run on these platforms are of high business value. Integrating the mainframe with modern systems is key to providing maximum value from mainframe systems and data. The challenges around integrating these key systems are security, RPA, and automated testing. Secure application access, the ability to manage access to a mainframe in a way that lives up to modern security standards, is critical to ensure the mainframe is secure. RPA, coupled with AI, when used with the mainframe, reduces errors, decreases costs, increases productivity, and makes better use of human resources. Automating mainframe application testing enables application teams to respond to business demands quickly and efficiently by streamlining the testing needed to support CI/CD practices for host-based applications. Join this webinar to learn how security, RPA, and automated testing can be the keys for a modern mainframe.

Title: Extending ChangeMan ZMF with modern tooling such as GIT and VS Code
Speaker: Preethi Ramdoss Prabakar, Senior Solutions Consultant, Mainframe DevOps, OpenText
Description:
Likely, your development team has been looking at adapting and integrating GIT into their development processes with ChangeMan ZMF. There is a wave of new tools, such as GIT and VS Code, where developers are more familiar and comfortable with. This session will introduce your teams to the ZMF Explorer and GIT Connector and show you how you can integrate these components and developers into the ChangeMan fold without compromising your governance and methodologies. In addition, we will explore how to administer and manage the challenges of having a hybrid environment comprised of mainframe and distributed tools where ChangeMan ZMF can still sit at the heart of your development processes and manage pipeline delivery. With our ZOWE CLI plugin, we have taken a lot of the friction away of having to understand REST when needing to integrate tools within the DevOps toolchain. REST is still very much part of the ZOWE CLI plugin. However, we have been able to shield much of that behind the covers as the plugin calls REST without you having to make those calls yourself. Thus, making it easier and simpler to write your integrations.
