Setting USS environment variables

There are several UNIX System Services (USS) environment variables that you need to set.

  1. Export the _CEE_RUNOPTS environment variable.
    If you are using IBM® Runtime Environment, Java™ Technology Edition on a z/OS® operating system and you want to use the IBM Transformation Extender in your UNIX System Services (USS) runtime environment, you must add XPLINK to the _CEE_RUNOPTS USS environment variable. For example:
    export _CEE_RUNOPTS=$_CEE_RUNOPTS,"XPLINK(ON)"
  2. Modify the setup script in the current directory to set the DISPLAY, JAVAHOME environment variable.
    The setup script defines the environment variables required to run the IBM Transformation Extender. The DISPLAY, JAVAHOME environment variable are defined in the following way:
    DISPLAY
    Address of the X Server
    JAVAHOME
    Installation directory of JRE on the z/OS environments

    The DISPLAY and JAVAHOME variables are commented out in the script. Either uncomment these environment variables in the setup script or include them in your profile (.profile). If you include these settings in your profile in your UNIX System Services (USS) home directory, you can avoid having to reset these variables each time you install the IBM Transformation Extender in your USS environment.

  3. Set the environment variables for IBM Transformation Extender.

    Enter ". ./setup" at the command prompt from the directory where you deployed the runtime environment under UNIX System Services (USS) for the IBM Transformation Extender features that you have installed.

Now you can begin to run the IBM Transformation Extender that you installed on your UNIX System Services (USS) execution environment.
