Open Mainframe Summit 2021

ZEBRA(Zowe Embedded Browser for RMF/SMF and APIs) is an incubator project of the Linux Foundation's Open Mainframe ZOWE Project. ZEBRA intends to provide re-usable and industry compliant JSON formatted RMF/SMF data records, so that other ISV SW and users can exploit them or use them with other Open-Source SW. ZEBRA can serve applications using JSON formatted RMF data thru ZOWE managed APIs to share and re-use them. ZEBRA helps system programmers and capacity/performance analyzers use available open-source utilities and creates a new knowledge base that can be shared among IBM Z performance SMEs and users. During this session we will present what ZEBRA comprises, demonstrate its newly developed built-in application for ZOWE desktop, and provide use cases and examples.
