HWF (HORIZONT Web Frame) Basics for all HORIZONT browser applications, it contains Apache, PHP and optional PostgreSQL
HWM (HORIZONT Workflow Manager) ProcMan basic part allows you to select, execute and control the defined handover processes.
Processes used to execute tasks, e. g. JCL validation, generation and copy to the target libraries.
Databasestores all ProcMan data.
ProcMan is a PHP application and runs on a Windows-Server. The data is stored in a database, currently DB2 z/OS or PostgreSQL.
To connect to the DB2 z/OS database, ProcMan is using the IBM Data Server Client (authentication via a specific technical user id).
The user interfaces are web dialogs, running on any browser. In addition, graphic flowcharts can be used to display IWS z/OS flowcharts.
Authentication will be done via LDAP (Active Directory or RACF etc.), or via HORIZONT Listener and RACF, or ProcMan’s own authentication system. Some single sign-on methods are supported, too.
JCL-Checks will be done by HORIZONT product SmartJCL and JCL-Modifications by its ProcMan enhancement, the JCL Generator Language (Rules).
The JCL rules are stored in z/OS PDS-Member, additional parts in the ProcMan database, configuration files (PHP) and in XML files on the Windows Server.
HORIZONT server task HORISRV on z/OS is used to transfer JCL between z/OS and the ProcMan server and to run SmartJCL Analyse/Generator Jobs on z/OS.
To work with IWSz, ProcMan keeps all IWS AD (application description) in the ProcMan database, which is automatically synchronized.
To (optionally) check dependencies between jobs, files and IWSz operations, ProcMan uses the HORIZONT product XINFO JCL scanner and the IWSz scanner.
Email messaging can be done via SMTP server.
