ISPW Web Interface

ISPW provides an optional web-based interface that supports a set of REST APIs that can be used to request ISPW functions. The interface also supports callbacks to the REST APIs supported by other products, in order to notify them when requested functions complete or fail.

Important

For a complete description of the ISPW Web Interface REST APIs, refer to the online Help for the Web Interface.

Required Components

The Web Interface is an optional feature that makes use of components of:

  • CES (Compuware Enterprise Services)
  • CMSC (Compuware Mainframe Services Controller).

To configure the CMSC, refer to the Enterprise Common Components Installation and Configuration Guide for Release 17.02 and above.

To configure the CES, refer to the BMC Compuware Web Products Installation and Configuration Guide for Release 17.02 and above.

Enabling Web Interface API Support

Once you have the required releases of CES and CMSC installed, you can enable ISPW’s Web Interface REST API support by adding WEBAPI=Y to the IWCM00 parameter member used by the ISPW/CM task. For more information, see the section entitled “Milestone-10-Install-Base-Software” in the ISPW Installation and Configuration Guide.

Important

Before setting WEBAPI=Y, ensure that the ISPW CM task JCL includes the DD statements for ETPLIB, ETPLOG, WQPLIB, and WQPLOG. See the ISPWCM member in SAMPLIB for an example of these DD statements.
