Step 1: Installing the FTP agent

Read this topic for a procedure of installing the FTP agent.

1. Using Sterling Connect:Direct® or a similar tool, copy the installation file (CSDDIST.CCFTP530. MVS.DIST.FILE, located in the zOS directory on the DVD or the IBM® Sterling Control Center Monitor folder downloaded from IBM Passport Advantage) to the z/OS computer as $SCC.DIST.FILE, where $SCC is the high-level qualifier of the z/OS system where you are installing the IBM Sterling Control Center Monitor FTP agent. Transfer the file as binary.
   The following sample FTP session uploads the installation file to the z/OS computer. Modify as necessary for your site:

   ftp 10.20.129.2
   binary
   put d:\zOS\CSDDIST.CCFTP530.MVS.DIST.FILE $SCC.DIST.FILE

   Note: The target file ($SCC.DIST.FILE) on the z/OS computer must be pre-defined as LRECL=80, BLKSIZE=3120, RECFM=FB.

   You can also use the PC’s file transfer capability (IND$FILE) to upload the installation file to the z/OS computer. See your computer’s documentation for instructions on using this feature.

2. Create and submit the following job to unpack the flat file uploaded to z/OS into $SCC.TXLIB and $SCC.LKLIB files. Replace $SCC with your high-level qualifier.

   // UNIT=SYSDA,SPACE=(TRK,1)
   //DIST DD DISP=(MOD,DELETE),DSN=$SCC.DIST,
   // UNIT=SYSDA,SPACE=(TRK,1)
   //SYSTSIN DD *

3. After the $SCC.TXLIB and $SCC.LKLIB PDS files have been created, continue with Step 2: Generate the Installation JCL.
