Automating Mainframe Operations with REST APIs & Zowe CLI Plug-ins
The session, designed for beginners and advanced practitioners, offers insights and real-world examples on how to combine REST API usage and the Open Mainframe Project Zowe CLI to programmatically manage mainframe resources. Follow along as we walk you through how our own automation specialists used OPS/MVS System State Manager (SSM) APIs coupled with incident management tooling to create automated resource state management scripts. We’ll look at securely handling credentials, testing API interactions, and show how mainframe APIs can streamline maintenance, reduce manual effort, and improve incident response through deep integration.
Mainframe Data Wrangling: Preparing Your Mainframe Data for Use in AI models
85% of AI projects fail according to Gartner - in this session we'll focus on one of the key reasons that the other 15% are successful and often profitable - high quality data. Additionally, they report that "53% of organizations [...] rated their own ability to mine and exploit data as "limited"". If data, especially high quality data, is one of the keys to success then we're in trouble.
Data engineering or data wrangling might be a new term to many but it's at the heart of the next wave of machine learning and artificial intelligence innovations. Successful enterprises that are adopting these tools understand that at the center of successful AI solutions is high quality data being collected to answer a specific, often narrow, business problem.
Whether you're new to working with raw data or a seasoned veteran, this session will inspire you to have another look at the business problem your trying to solve with AI and how increasing the data quality can have a huge impact on your results.
