About 7 years ago I held a Customer Advisory Board, and I asked the 25+ customers in attendance how much open source they are adopting. I was surprised that only a handful of customers raised their hands. I then threw out some open source tool names like Git and Jenkins, thinking that may invoke more hands. Instead, I got several asking me what is Git and many of the rest grunted and said that Jenkins isn’t anything they’d ever consider because they required commercial offerings. A couple years later, I asked the same question and all of the customers in attendance, this time 30 of them, raised their hands. Most of them were repeat customers, which was impressive to see a fast moving trend of open source adoption. I then asked them what changed, given that a few short years ago there was disdain for open source tools. Their answers varied. But the common theme was that open source tools are easy to consume and it makes developers more successful as they tend to be tools they’re more fa

This coming Tuesday, Ken Gross (Mainline Information Systems) and I will be sharing insights on how organizations can accelerate digital transformation by choosing tools and development methodologies that offer transformative capabilities. The concept of Modernization in Place has been applied to speed innovation as an alternative to multi-year platform migrations, minimizing risk while still delivering operational flexibility.

Hello,  After installing Miniconda (v 1.2.1) I tried creating a new environment and installing a package to it, for example:  conda create -n curl conda activate curl conda install .. curl The conda create and activate worked fine but the install produced several messages like as follows: IBMUSER:/u/ibmuser: >conda install -c https://conda.anaconda.org/zoss-appdev gzipcompile command returned 65280Failed to load /u/ibmuser/.ffi/i_.so: CEE3501S The module /u/ibmuser/.ffi/i_.so was not found.

Does anyone have any experience using zUnit with the CMN plugin? zUnit submits its own compile and link steps, before running the test program. We are concerned that this testing will not reflect the actual load module compiled in CMN. It seems like a big overhead to update zUnit options to match the CMN compile procedures. Can zUnit take a compiled load module from a CMN package? Thanks, Simon.  #ChangeManZMF

Status: DeclinedUnfortunately, after further research, this is not an enhancement we would be able to deliver.Hi The software analyzer feature in IDz doesn't seems to work as expected for cobol coding rule checking in the CMN perspective (from patch4 plugin edition). Please note, this feature working fine when the cobol source is checked from the 'remote system explorer' perspective. From developer's point of view, it would nice to have this feature in changeman perspective mode, thus it will be easy and quick to scan the program using the predefined software analyzer rules.

My colleague reinstalled sudo yesterday from the conda distribution. Today I discovered that only the beginning portion of cat5/sudo.8 is there. We're on the public path, but this really is a problem. Can you please fix this and let us know when the correct man file is available?Cheers,Ray Mullins​------------------------------Ray MullinsSr. Software DeveloperTrident ServicesRoseville CA United States------------------------------

Hello, i use cURL to send files via FTPS to IBM. No Problem with textfiles, but when i send a dump-file the is a problem: it has incorrect DCB attributes. I call cURL from MVS with BPXBATCH. The dump-file is copied from MVS to USS with OCOPY command and then transfered in binary format. I tried to use the SITE comand, but it is not accepted. Have anyone an idea? Thanks for help. Sven

With the IBM z/OS supplied man pages it is easy to find the command you want by using the command:     man -k xxxxxThis will NOT find any of the conda installed man pages even if the MANPATH has been updated correctly.Note: I can do a 'man gunzip' to read the specific man page which indicates the MANPATH is correct but 'man -k gunzip' finds nothing.The -k explanation is:  Searches a precomputed database of syntax lines for information about keywords.Is there a way to update, or rebuild, the man precomputed database?------------------------------LionelDyck

My first glance at MiniConda. It appears to be customized on a single system installation concept. Historically we have installed the OpenSource tools easily into each products own ZFS dataset mounted on the maintenance path. Propagation to all the other systems occurred via DFDSS backup of said ZFS dataset to be restored and renamed as required on each target system.In simple terms can anyone document how this install/maintain/propagate process could be performed using MiniConda in Z/OS.I have started reading the User Manuals @ https://docs.conda.io and my initial impression is that it is similar in concept to APT in DEBIAN LINUX.Additionally what firewall rules would I need to get this working?RegardsBruce------------------------------Bruce HewsonCitibank------------------------------

What is the recommendation for how to deploy a specific level of Python, a specific level of Git, and a specific level of Bash to one lpar?  And then to deploy different levels of each to a different lpar?Do I create an environment for each lpar in its own filesystem (conda create -n lpar1 .....) and then deploy (aka copy) that filesystem to that lpar?  Then repeat for lpar2, etc. ?When I do that do I have to do a conda activate lpar1 on lpar1 or conda activate lpar2 on lpar2?Are there any gotcha's or concerns?------------------------------Lionel Dyck
