z/VSE Utilities and IBM
Connectors
Connector
Description
VSE Connector Client
This includes a JDBC driver for VSAM and enables the writing of Java
applications that access VSE data and functionality
WebServices (SOAP) with VSE
The implementation allows a VSE system to act as a WebService
provider (server) and as a WebService requestor (client).
CICS2WS Toolkit
A development tool that enables the exploitation of WebServices with
existing CICS programs. The tool reads WSDL files and Copybooks
and creates proxy code that you use as a layer between existing
programs and the VSE SOAP engine
VSAM Redirector
Redirects all accesses to a certain VSAM file into any other file system
or database on any other (Java-enabled) platform.
VSE Script Server
Provides access to VSE resources using the Java based connectors,
but without writing Java programs. VSE scripts can use various script
commands to access VSE resources.
VSAM Maptool
Create, import or export a data map for a given VSAM file. The
resulting map may be an XML file or Java code. The tool can create a
map from parsing a COBOL or PL/I copy book
VSE Navigator
Provides a graphical user interface (GUI) for the VSE operating
system, which behaves very much like file managers from other
platforms, such as Windows Explorer. It includes host based VSE file
systems (VSE Librarian, POWER queues, ICCF, VSAM) and provides
host specific functions.
TCP/IP Configuration utility
A workstation-based tool to help configure TCP/IP for VSE. It is part of
the TCP/IP for VSE product.
VSEPrint utility
Facilitates the printing of VSE/POWER list queue entries on any
locally or LAN-attached printer.
Keyman/VSE
A tool to manage the VSE specific public key infrastructure. It can
create RSA key pairs, create and sign certificates, and upload them to
a VSE system. It can also read and write PKCS#12 keyring files.
VSE Health Checker
A Java-based system diagnosis utility to retrieve, display, and analyze
perform ance relevant data from a VSE system.
VSE System class library
Provides a Java API to access general VSE system parameters. The
API includes access to data from VSE components, like CICS,
POWER, VTAM, or TCP/IP, but also output from basic commands like
SIR, GETVIS, MAP, PRTY, and others.
VSE Virtual Tape Server
Provides the server part of the VSE Virtual Tape functionality in which
a tape is represented by a file in AWSTAPE format. This file can be
either a VSE/VSAM file or a file on any Java-enabled platform.
