z/OS considerations for IBM UrbanCode Deploy

IBM® UrbanCode® Deploy includes support for the z/OS platform. Although the articles in this Knowledge Center for using IBM UrbanCode Deploy to deploy applications, certain platform-specific configuration factors must be considered when using a z/OS model.

An example of a standard enterprise application topology for the z/OS platform is shown. The z/OS components run on CICS with virtual storage access method (VSAM) for the data source. Some of the web and mobile components also run on z/OS using an application platform such as IBM WebSphere for z/OS. Some components run on distributed platforms.

Additional information for the z/OS platform can be found in https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/zosbasics/com.ibm.zos.zmainframe/toc.htm
