    ​HI Guys,

    Does anyone using this BM Open Data Analytics for z/OS (IzODA) product to develop python code on top of MF PS/PDS/PDSE files?
    I would like to know how to do the initial set-up at Z/OS Linux side.

    Thanks,
    Suresh.

    Hello Suresh,

     

    In my previous job I have used IzODA extensively. Initially, we developed most of our Jupyter Notebooks here, however, the code resided in USS file systems not in PDS or PDSE. In a later stage we split the functionality into a data gathering and data rendering piece. The data gathering was still run on the mainframe and typically a straight python script executed in batch. The Python script used another part of IzODA (MDS) to get data and save this in a pickle (or CSV file). The pickles were either rendered by the Jupyter Notebooks running on Z, or transferred off platform for rendering in Linux based JupyterHub servers.

     

    Kind regards

    Hi Toine,

    Trying to launch an analytics platform with Python and Jupyter eventually and would like to know if it is possible to have it running on our old IBM z10
    Just the feasibility would be a big deal for me

    Thanks

    Mostly not. It's a very old system that won't support the software needed to run IZODA on it.

    Surely you can. 
    You may a clue of what it takes in here:

    https://github.com/IzODA/labs/tree/master/choose-your-path/scala-python#anaconda--python-lab

    Python will reside on the Unix System Services area of z/OS (there's no z/OS Linux side, Linux can be used and intalled as a native operative system on Z Systems but not directly related to z/OS), as well as the Java and Scala files. With IZODA MDS you'll be able to read and use data from any of the datasources in z/OS.

    Also you can use Watson Machine Learning for z/OS that will provide you with all the necessary tools and engines to deploy your models.

    Regards.
    D.
