Does anyone use the XML REXX Interface ?

I'm wondering if anyone except us use the XML REXX interface to Changeman ?

Seems that we that do will benefit of exchange of experience.

Why are you 'wondering'? Is it because it's not obvious to get started with XML services?Many (about 10?) years ago, in CMN/ZMF 5.3.x, we starting using the various XML interfaces (= the SERXMLxC clients, x=B,R,C and even A) to CMN/ZMF. At that time it was all via handwritten coding (mostly REXX or COBOL).For quite some years already we don't do a lot of that "handwriting" anymore, instead we just search for the XML service to be used together with its input/output tags (eg: PARMS/APL/UPDATE to set a value Y/N using input tag isApplBusy). Then we push a few buttons to automatically generate the REXX code (which can either use SERXMLRC or SERXMLBC to actually launch the XML service).Note: if you're using these amazing XML services (the best that ever happened to ZMF ...!), be aware that it adds some extra ZMF upgrade challenges too. I.e. how do you find and correct all your customizations using XML services whereas it isn't obvious to find out what services, input tags or output tags have changed between the 2 ZMF releases (and what about the docu about these changes that comes with a new release?). New tags or services being added is not much of a problem for upgrading, but what if some input or output tag was renamed or removed in the new release?

We have several REXX programs that invoke XML services. The shipped reports are a good example of how to invoke the REXX client. Do you have a specific question?
