Product Overview

Memocast for z/OS provides email capabilities for applications running on the z/OS platform. It integrates with z/OS applications through APIs or command-line interfaces, using SMTP for sending emails and potentially POP3/IMAP for receiving. The architecture includes components for converting reports to PDF, managing email templates, and handling attachments.

It likely integrates with z/OS security systems such as RACF, ACF2, or Top Secret for authentication and authorization. Memocast is typically deployed on-premise within the z/OS environment, running within an LPAR. It requires a z/OS environment with the necessary system services and libraries to support email communication.

Key integration points include z/OS security systems, SMTP servers, and email servers (POP3, IMAP). Alternatives include IBM Infoprint Server and custom-built solutions. Memocast distinguishes itself by providing a focused solution for email integration within the z/OS environment.
