MVS Direct API - InfoMan Support

The Tivoli Service Desk (formerly known as IBM Information / Management or InfoMan) API was designed to provide today's PC application programmers an avenue to access Tivoli Service Desk resources. Whether interfacing with existing legacy systems or writing new client-server based applications, you will be impressed by the capabilities that this API provides.

How It Works

The API uses the Tivoli Information Management application programming interface to send requests to one (or more) InfoMan databases running on MVS. It also receives back the responses from those commands so that the caller can evaluate the success of the command string and extract information for future processing.
