S105 -Simplifying Middleware configuration: harnessing the power of code

Session Evaluation

z/OS middleware configuration is often manual, time‑consuming, and difficult to audit consistently. This session introduces a configuration‑as‑code approach using the z/OS Middleware Configuration Tool (zconfig).
Learn how zconfig represents CICS, Db2, and IMS configurations declaratively in YAML and applies them consistently across environments. We’ll show how existing environments can be discovered and transformed into code, reducing manual effort while improving consistency, traceability, and audit readiness across z/OS systems.
