You can install IZSME® into a Zowe® 2 instance to effectively monitor and manage IBM® Z systems.

Before you begin

The following requirements apply:
  • You can install IZSME in Zowe 2.2 and later. However, Zowe 2.0 and 2.1 are not supported.
  • The minimum required IZSME PTF level is OA64754.
  • If you are using Zowe 2.3 through 2.7, you must disable Zowe Configuration Manager by adding the following line to the zowe.yaml configuration file:
    zowe.useConfigmgr: false

    For more information about zowe.useConfigmgr, refer to the Zowe documentation.

About this task

This task uses the following sample jobs that are provided in the #tgthlq.SIUWSAMP data set:
  • IUWMUNPX
  • IUWMUPPT
In each job, the JCL provides instructions about how to customize the job before running it.

The following instructions explain how to install IZSME in Zowe 2.

Procedure

  1. Install the IZSME base by running the IUWMUNPX job, which extracts the base IZSME runtime files into the IZSME installation directory.
    Note: You can follow the instructions inside the script to learn how you can customize your environment.
  2. Update the IZSME runtime files by running the IUWMUPPT job, which extracts an IZSME PTF.
    Note: You can follow the instructions inside the script to learn how you can customize your environment.
  3. Install the IZSME components into Zowe by running the following command:
    <ZOWE_RUNTIME_DIRECTORY>/bin/zwe components install -c <ZOWE_YAML> -o <IZSME_HOME>
    Where:
    • ZOWE_RUNTIME_DIRECTORY is the absolute path to the Zowe runtime directory.
    • ZOWE_YAML is the absolute path to the Zowe YAML file for an instance.
    • IZSME_HOME is the absolute path to the IZSME directory.
  4. Disable node clustering in the Zowe instance by adding the following line to the zowe.yaml configuration file, as IZSME does not support node clustering:
    zowe.environments.ZLUX_NO_CLUSTER: 1
  5. Restart the Zowe server.
