z/OS UNIX subprojects

This customization task does not require assistance, special resources, or special customization tasks.

REXEC (Remote Execution) is a TCP/IP service that enables clients to execute a command on the host system. SSH (Secure Shell) is a similar service, but all communication is encrypted. Developer for z/OS® uses either service for doing remote (host-based) actions in z/OS UNIX subprojects.

Notes:

Developer for z/OS uses the z/OS UNIX version of REXEC, not the TSO version.
If REXEC/SSH is not configured to use the default port, the Developer for z/OS client must define the correct port for use by z/OS UNIX subprojects. This configuration can be done by selecting Window (on Windows) or IBM® Developer for z/OS (on macOS) > Preferences > z/OS Solutions > z/OS UNIX Subprojects > Remote Action Options preference page. To know which port is used, see REXEC or SSH setup.
