AWS Transform for mainframe Runtime Utilities
Mainframe JCL scripts use customer business programs and system utilities. AWS Transform for mainframe Runtime includes support for commonly used system utilities to enable proper JCL modernization to Groovy, plus additional convenience utilities.
The purpose of this document is to:
-
Explain how to configure and deploy utilities;
-
List existing supported system utilities and give details about their usage and purpose.
Configure and deploy Utility web application
Utilities are provided in gapwalk-utility-pgm-<version>.war (where <version> is the AWS Transform for mainframe runtime release). Deploy alongside gapwalk-application and modernized applications to enable utility access from modernized JCL scripts.
All supported utilities are registered as programs in the "Programs Registry" (see this Running and calling programs for details about registering programs and using them in scripts or in other programs). Therefore, they can be called either by other programs or by modernized job scripts.
The utilities web-application has its own configuration file, named application-utility-pgm.yml, whose contents are detailed in this Configure access to utilities for managed applications.
