Rocket® Open-Source Languages and Tools for z/OS®

Hi, we have recently installed openssl on our OMVS partitions: normally we use RACF as a KeyStore for certificates. Any integration is foreseen / possible to use RACF as a key store, as for SecureZip ? Or the only way is to manage a local KeyStore in the OMVS partition? Thanks

After applying PH52983: New Function: Added z Integrated Information Processor eligibility in IBM Open Enterprise SDK for Python 3.11, IBM Python supports deriving workload to ZIIP processors. However, we are using the Python supplied with Rocket z/OS Miniconda.  Does it support the use of ZIIP? If not... Is any enhanced planned for this?.------------------------------Josema Fernández PalaciosRocket Forum Shared Account------------------------------

Hello, a while ago we found out, that IBM Ported Tools, we’re talking of perl and php mainly, went out of service last month. So we decided to migrate to the versions offered here. The only disadvantage using these tools is, that they are not SMP/E installed, as the IBM versions are. So we decided to create a set of procedures to make these tools SMP/E installable, and finally we succeed. At this time we’re able to install the following Tools via SMP/E, some more will follow: bash curl gzip mc (Midnight Commander) perl php webalizer I write this in order to ask, if there is any interest to know more about the used method, how to make such products SMP/E installable. In this case I would like to share this informations. Regards. Juergen

Hello,Is there any plans on porting screen or tmux to USS? It's something I miss when working on USS.Otherwise I saw somewhere that rocket uses gcc to compile (cross-compile?) tools to Z. Is z supported by gcc out of the box, either cross compiling or running in USS?, or is there a fork somewhere, or is it something rocket made in house? I would like to try to compile it myself.Thanks------------------------------Adam Martin BrittIT-ArchitectBECRanders SV Denmark------------------------------
