The Mainframe Kid - and OS/2
Martin Iturbide:
Hi.
I'm reviving this old topic since Arca Noae released "S/390 Backup Facility based on ArcaOS".
https://www.arcanoae.com/shop/s-390-backup-facility/
Sadly, I don't understand the solution since I have never used a mainframe. But I think it is good for AN to find a corporate niche when they can offer a solution for some mainframes.
Is this an ArcaOS image with some special OS/2 backup software to extract a backup for the Mainframe S/390?
Does it has some thing else? like the Support Element (SE) software?
I also always wanted to know if there is a way to download "Support Element (SE) for OS/2" (or at least to know which is the latest version) just to try to run it on OS/2 and see if it can do something without a mainframe, to at least take some screenshots.
Regards

Hi Martin,
Prefer search for HMC/SE or HMC (add OS/2 due newest HMC is linux based system)
Here you can find some screenshots

ps: If you would like install and see how a s/390 works, you can install an image under a windows or linux system => http://www.hercules-390.eu/

it would probably build and run fine on OS/2. Biggest problem would be no network support as it needs a tap driver which I don't think we have.

Hi
I would like to see if we can get the installer of the OS/2 software that works to control de mainframe ( "Support Element (SE)" - Anything else?) to see if it can be installed on OS/2 (ArcaOS) and try to know which was the last version of the software available for OS/2 and take some screenshots.
Thanks for the info Remy.

You can not get the software, it is part of IBM HW (HMC)
