Adding source environments

Source environments are configured to create components or images that are used in target environments for development and testing.

The source environment configuration can be IBM Z® mainframe systems.

Notes:

For z/OS on IBM Z physical hardware source environments that are added, you can add, edit, or delete existing source systems. However, a source environment cannot be deleted if components created from this source environment exist.
If you want to set up source environments from either genuine z/OS on IBM Z physical hardware or existing z/OS instances to extract and provision the necessary volumes or data sets, the z/OS system requirements must be met.
Extracting from a z/OS instance initially provisioned from Extended ADCD is also considered as extracting from an existing z/OS instance; therefore, the z/OS system requirements apply.
