Installing the z/OS deployment tools from archive files

Before you deploy to the IBM® z/OS® platform, you must install the z/OS deployment tools and configure the z/OS server for communication with IBM UrbanCode™ Deploy. If the build process runs on a different logical partition (LPAR), then you must additionally install the deployment tools on the build LPAR.

Procedure

  1. Click the Help icon, and then click Tools. The tools that are available for download from the IBM UrbanCode Deploy server are displayed.
  2. Download the IBM UrbanCode Deploy agent archive file. Extract the archive file to the UNIX file system of the z/OS server. For example, type the following text at the command line to extract the archive file: unzip ibm-ucd-agent.zip.
  3. Download the z/OS deployment tools archive file. Extract the archive file to the UNIX file system of the z/OS server. For example, type the following text at the command line to extract the archive file to a directory named ucdtoolkit: pax -r -pp -vf ucdtoolkit.pax.
  4. Create and run a job in job control language (JCL) that loads the SBUZENV, SBUZEXEC, SBUZMENU, and SBUZSAMP libraries. Use the sample BUZEXPD job in the tool_installation_directory/mvs directory as a model. Change #HLQ, #TVOLSER, and #PATH as required for your system. The tool_installation_directory directory is the directory that you created in the previous step.

What to do next

After you install the deployment tools, configure the agent and the deployment tools.
