Stream: Virtual Room 2
Time: 16:15 - 17:00
The Open Mainframe Project's Zowe CLI is a powerful way to execute raw z/OS commands, but they lack the contextual understanding for mainframe development. Users must be familiar with TSO syntax, mainframe concepts like data sets, JCL, how to understand error codes, codepages, ... This talk will showcase the Zowe MCP server that interacts with Zowe CLIs and SDK APIs and allows tasks such as job submission and file navigation and manipulation using a textual language interface. In addition we'll show how to execute TSO commands with guardrails and syntax assistance plus command completion and help.
I work on open source projects around software tooling platforms. My current project is Zowe, which is part of the Linux Foundation and Open Mainframe Project where I am part of the leadership committee and an ambassador. Prior to Zowe I worked on Eclipse tooling and before that Java 2 Standard Edition. I enjoy astronomy, running, biking, piano, and in my spare time helping bring open source tooling to the mainframe computing platform for a new generation of Z heads.
I am passionate about using my background in Data Engineering and AI to do cool stuff on the mainframe!
