ZAO API Sample Demo

About this task

Provided with ZAO V2.1.1 is an API sample demo package. The documentation and source code is available in the APISample/ folder which is included in the ZAO product installation folder.

HCL Z Asset Optimizer (ZAO) V2.1.1 API sample demo is intended to demonstrate how repository reports can be produced using data previously imported to the ZAO V2.1.1 analysis engine, through the ZAO API service container.

Once z/OS Inquisitor (IQ) and optionally Usage monitor (UM) data have been successfully imported into a repository, the ZAO API service container can be used to extract supplied ZAO or customized SQL report data results in JSON format for external application consumption.

The ZAO API demonstration sample will make a connection to a currently running s390x host ZAO API service container, perform a set number of actions and then store the report results on the local system running the demo.

The purpose of this ZAO API demo sample is to provide a simple example with source code of how to use the ZAO API service container by demonstrating some of the possible reports available from some of the ZAO API service container End-points.

For execution details please review the README.1st file in the provided APISample/ folder.
