Share Your ExperienceProduct Overview
The Z-Writer architecture consists of several key components: the Z-Writer compiler, the runtime environment, and data access modules. The compiler translates Z-Writer source code into executable load modules, which are then executed by the runtime environment. The runtime environment manages program execution, including data access, processing, and output formatting.
Data access modules provide interfaces to various data sources, including VSAM files, sequential files, and databases accessible through standard z/OS interfaces. Communication between components is primarily through the z/OS operating system. The compiler and runtime environment interact via system calls and shared memory.
Data access modules use z/OS APIs to interact with data sources. Z-Writer utilizes VSAM and sequential files for data storage. Security is provided by z/OS, including RACF.
Audit logging is integrated with z/OS facilities. The primary configuration involves defining data sources and report layouts. The Z-Writer language is designed for efficient data processing on z/OS.
