A colleague asked me, "WTF really *is* Zowe?" and the only answer I had was that I thought it was like z/OSMF, only more so (and ISTR that it's even built on top of z/OSMF), and open source.
I've seen https://www.rocketsoftware.com/zowe-open-source-mainframe but it just says "Zowe good" and "open source framework" and like that, never explains what it actually does. https://zowe.org/home/ is a bit better, seems to support my contention, but also waves hands about APIs and a command-line interface. That makes it sound like it's (conceptually) sorta z/OSMF + Dovetail + scp. I guess my point here is that I lose interest before I get very far, because it all sounds like smoke and mirrors and "It's open source, it must be good". Can someone correct my (presumed) misapprehensions, perhaps provide a product description that includes benefits, not just features? .phsiii ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
