In this session we will start with an explanation of diversity in Open Source Software and its positive effects in the IT Industry. We will then review the definition of what a REST API is and what the open-source project of Zowe is. Then we’ll take a look at an example of Open Source Software for a performance monitoring use case, using sophisticated open-source tools to visualize performance metrics exposed by an API. The comparison of the original performance report with the Transformed Open Source version is outstanding. Our example will be based on the open-source software of Zowe with an API for a MF database of IDMS, but can be used wit Db2, IMS or any MF database. The techniques are general and can be applied to any product that exposes performance metrics through a REST API.
