Installing the Dispatcher on a z/OS operating system

You must install both a binary UNIX tar file and a shell script to install the Dispatcher on a z/OS operating system.

1. Locate the delivered Dispatcher or adapter compressed file.
2. Extract the contents of the compressed file into a temporary directory and navigate to that directory.
3. From the temporary directory, locate and navigate to the zSystem directory.
4. Under the zSystem directory, locate the following two files:
   • Dispatcher.tar
   • instDispatcher_zOS.sh

   Note: Dispatcher.tar is a binary UNIX tar file and instDispatcher_zOS.sh is a UNIX shell script.
5. Transfer the two files to the zOS workstation where the adapter is to be installed. Both files must be copied to the same directory.
6. Set the execution flag on instDispatcher_zOS.sh:

   chmod +x instDispatcher_zOS.sh

7. Run the installer by issuing the command:

      ./ instDispatcher_zOS.sh

   The following dialog is displayed.

   Note: The path given in the following example might be different on your system.
