cURL on z/OS in ISPF-Applications (REXX or PL/I programm) for web services
Hello everybody,
i have to find out, how to use webservices in my ISPF-Application on z/OS, to communicate fpr example with ClearQuest or RTC. Actually for Example i'm connecting directly to our DB2 Database, which is the Background of ClearQuest, but i want to use all the special webservices of ClearQuest and RTC in future. Because i'm working on z/OS with ISPF and PL/I-Programms i need
- Examples in REXX, Clist or PL/I
- Tipps and Tricks for all, what can happen
- Links or different hints, where i can get more Informations (i can read manuals, documentations ans books)
- The right Questions i should ask the system programmers
and all, what you think is helpful for me
Thank you very much!
Georg

I use Rexx/cURL to talk to RTC through OSLC. For OSLC and CQ, use at least CQ 7.1.2.1. See this link for CQ OSLC interface -> https://jazz.net/wiki/bin/view/Main/CqOslcV2.
It depends what you want to do with your Rexx/cURL script and the work item. To date, I've had customers who wanted to do the following:
Validate the Status of a work item is in a certain state
Change the Status of a work item by performing an action
Add a Comment to a work item
Run a Query to return a Type, ID, and Headline of a set of work items
I have examples of all of these.

Hi Dave,
We are working on SCLM and RTC where RTC will govern the SCLM. It would be great help if you can share the examples for below.
1. Validate the Status of a work item is in a certain state
2. Change the Status of a work item by performing an action
3. Add a Comment to a work item
4. Run a Query to return a Type, ID, and Headline of a set of work items
Thanks
