Re: [hobbit] hobbit agents for AS/400 and OS/390 or Z/OS

Allan,

I've been working on a client for z/OS.  Although the process is slow 
(I'm primarily a VM/VSE person) I've made some progress).  I have some 
code working and would be happy to share it with you.

At this point it requires MXI from the CBT Tape for some of the info 
that it gathers.  I'm trying to get away from that, or to rely on TASID, 
since it is an IBM offering.  It also requires some patches to Hobbit to 
process the client data stream specifically for z/OS.  It is hopeful 
that this will all be done for the rollout of Hobbit 4.3 which will 
include the backend code for z/OS, z/VM and z/VSE (the latter two are 
done and submitted to Henrik.

Let's take this offline and discuss in more detail.
