Share Your ExperienceProduct Overview
Host/Edit's architecture comprises three main components: the User Interface, the Data Access Layer, and the Security Module. The User Interface provides the terminal-based interaction with the system, handling user input and displaying data. The Data Access Layer is responsible for retrieving and storing data from DB2, VSAM, and ISPF DMS tables.
It manages the interaction with the underlying z/OS data storage mechanisms. The Security Module integrates with the z/OS security infrastructure, supporting authentication methods like RACF, ACF2, and Top Secret. Communication occurs primarily through 3270 terminal protocols.
Configuration files are used to define user profiles, dataset access permissions, and system settings. These files are managed through the ISPF interface or command-line utilities. The tool does not expose any REST or SOAP APIs.
Data encryption is handled by the z/OS system. The tool supports role-based access control, managed through the z/OS security system. Key commands include EDIT, BROWSE, FIND, CHANGE, and SAVE.
