Run and Save Script page

When you finish editing the executable program, the Run and Save Script page is displayed. Here, you can run the program on the selected system or save it to another location for running at a later time.

In the Run and Save Script page:
  • To run the program on the selected system, click Run script on system sys-name. Then, click Finish to run the program. For the results of the program execution, see the Script Status page. Alternatively, you can run the program manually from the specified location.
    If you selected to run the program on a system in a remote sysplex, z/OSMF checks your access to the remote system.
    • If the system is running z/OSMF, verify that the system is enabled for single sign-on (SSO). Otherwise, the Remote Server Authentication window is displayed for you to authenticate to the remote system. If so, enter a valid user ID and password or passphrase for the remote system. You can avoid the authentication window by ensuring that the remote system is enabled for single sign-on (SSO) in the z/OSMF Systems task. For more information, see Defining your systems to z/OSMF.
    • If the system is not running z/OSMF, it must be associated with the z/OSMF system for that sysplex. If so, set the z/OSMF system as the host system for the system on which the workflow is to be performed. Similarly, you must ensure that the z/OSMF system in the remote sysplex is enabled for single sign-on. Or, you must be ready to authenticate to the system with a valid user ID and password or passphrase.
  • To save the program to another location, click Save script. If a default location is provided for the program, the location is shown. You can save to this location, or specify another location by specifying the following details:
    • To save the program in a UNIX file, click z/OS UNIX file. Specify the full file path, including the file name. The file is created if it does not exist already.
    • To save the program to a data set, click z/OS data set. Specify an existing data set. Include the following details about the data set, if applicable:
      • For a partitioned data set, include the member name. A new member is created if one does not exist already.
      • If the data set is not cataloged, specify the volume serial (volser).

If a file or member already exists by the same name, the request is failed with an error message. You can, however, choose to allow the new file or member to overlay the existing structure. To do so, select the option Overwrite the file or member if it exists already.

If a default location was provided, you can restore the location to the default value by clicking Restore Default Location. Otherwise, this option is disabled.
