Product Overview

Phoenix is a computer-based training (CBT) application designed for authoring and presenting online training, primarily on z/OS. It includes facilities to manage and track student enrollment and performance. Phoenix is also available on Windows and other platforms.

From an architectural perspective, Phoenix likely consists of several key components, including a course authoring tool, a content delivery engine, a student management module, and a reporting system. These components communicate through internal APIs and data storage mechanisms. Phoenix likely uses a database or file system to store course content, student data, and training records.

On z/OS, it likely runs in an LPAR and depends on z/OS subsystems for operation. Phoenix integrates with enterprise ecosystems by providing APIs for exchanging data with other systems, such as HR platforms and learning management systems. The specific types of APIs exposed by Phoenix are not detailed, but they likely include REST or SOAP interfaces.

Phoenix supports authentication methods to control access to training materials and student data. The specific methods are not detailed, but could include standard z/OS security mechanisms or username/password authentication.
