Mainframe serving

Can a COBOL transaction program call this checkpoint, and under which transport? The model returns evidence; the host keeps the decision.

Export status

Already ONNX

Published with ONNX artifacts — no export step required

Recommended pattern

Pattern 01

Co-located in-memory

Latency class

< 2 ms

ONNX artifact

Not measured

measured once the harness posts results

Screening note

Compiled graph executes in the same address space as the COBOL program. No network hop; the host keeps the decision.

Static graph, per-record sentence-similarity output and 137M parameters fit a co-located sub-2 ms call

Zero egress — data stays inside the encrypted boundary

ONNX artifact present: onnx/model.onnx

The C-ABI wrapper is on the Usage tab under “C bridge”. Test the bridge on a workstation with GnuCOBOL before it reaches an LPAR — struct packing and numeric conversion are what actually break, and they are identical on both targets.

Standards this deployment inherits

Download ML-BOM

S1Models ship as ONNX artifacts. No ML framework runtime is installed on z/OS.

S2The copybook is the interface contract — generated, versioned, never hand-edited on either side.

S3Latency class selects the pattern. Team preference and vendor enthusiasm do not.

S4Every inference is logged with the record state and model version that produced it.

S5PHI leaves the platform only tokenized, over mTLS, to an endpoint under an executed BAA.

S6A model influences payment only after a full shadow cycle and with a tested fallback path.
