The Compuware Topaz API provides users with methods to programmatically access and perform operations on datasets and perform JES
operations, as well as launch and communicate with their own z/OS programs.
IZOSHost
IZOSHost is the starting point for all z/OS related functions.
When writing Java Applications or plug-ins not running in a Topaz Workbench installation, instances of
IZOSHost can be created using the HostFactory class.
When writing plug-ins running in a Topaz Workbench installation, instances of IZOSHost for hosts defined in the
Topaz Workbench client can be retrieved using the HostManager class from the com.compuware.api.topaz.eclipse
plug-in.
