Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A system and computer-implemented method communicatively interfaces a Process Automation (PA) application executing on a mainframe computer with a mainframe automation function executing on the mainframe computer. The PA application executes within a services layer, which runs on top of a base Operating System (OS) layer of the mainframe computer. Some automation functions execute within the base OS layer, while other automation functions within the services layer. Therefore, an interface executing within the services layer determines which of the two disparate execution environments is needed to execute a given mainframe automation function, and invokes the function within the appropriate environment.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A method comprising: receiving a request from an agent executing on a mainframe computing device to perform a function on the mainframe computing device, the request including information that identifies a corresponding target program to be executed on the mainframe computing device; determining whether the target program is to be executed on the mainframe computing device synchronously or asynchronously based on an indicator received with the request; e…
