Batch FTP Question - Server to Mainframe
I recently tested a batch FTP which gets a file from a Unix server and downloads to a flat file on an IBM mainframe. When I run this on our test box, it creates a fixed block flat file of 128 bytes. When I run the exact same batch FTP on our production box, exact same server, it creates a...

IMS conversational transactions
I am looking into IBM's IMS SOAP Gateway to expose our IMS transactions as Web Services. 98% of our IMS transactions are conversational. I am looking for possible ways of exposing them as SOAP/Web services without acquiring WebSphere or IMS Connect for Java on the Mainframe

Migration from OS/390 to Z/OS V1.6 with CSP
We are migrating from OS/390 v2.10 to Z/OS V1.6 as V1.4 is no longer available.We still keep some old application development environment based on CSP/AD and CSP/AE. Is there any issue other than adopting the new LE library that we need to be aware of?
