Checking that z/OS Connect is correctly set up

How you check that z/OS® Connect is correctly set up.

Before you begin

Ensure that we have carried out the procedure detailed in Enabling z/OS Connect and the MQ Service Provider

z/OS Connect provides a RESTful API that can be used to query the services that are installed and perform administrative actions such as stopping and starting them.

Procedure

1. Issue an HTTP GET against z/OS Connect to query the list of currently installed services. You do this with a web browser by entering a URL of the form

   https://HOST_NAME:HTTPS_PORT/zosConnect/services

   where HOST_NAME and HTTPS_PORT are the values you entered in step 2 of Install WebSphere Application Server Liberty.For example,

   https://yourdomainname:12342/zosConnect/services

2. Enter the user ID and password when prompted by the browser. These are the values you entered in the user element in step 2 of Enabling z/OS Connect and the MQ Service Provider.
