Hi All. I am trying to automate the running of commands on Mainframe system. I want to do it using java. Is there any way or api so that I can connect to Mainframe and run commands using it?

Answer 1

There are some mainframes which support the execution of Java applications.
It's possible to run all kind of commands with the exec method. But you need to make sure that the mainframe can run the code / a JVM in first place.
