Additional configuration on UNIX System Services (USS)

To use IBM® Transformation Extender features in your USS environments, there are additional configuration activities that you might need to do.

Modifying the DTXINST JCL
The DTXINST JCL job is used to create the IBM Transformation Extender UNIX System Services (USS) runtime environment.
Setting USS environment variables
There are several UNIX System Services (USS) environment variables that you need to set.
Using IBM Transformation Extender for Application Programming on USS
IBM Transformation Extender for Application Programming contains Java™ interface components that run the UNIX System Services (USS) SDK on z/OS® operating systems in a UNIX environment. Because the native character-encoding of USS differs from the native character-encoding of JVM, you must set type tree properties to accommodate the difference in encoding.
(Optional) Defining DB/2 system load library
When you use either the DB2 (z/OS) Adapter or DB2 (z/OS ODBC) Adapter in your UNIX System Services (USS) runtime environment, you need to define the DB2 system load library to the system linklist.
(Optional) Defining IBM MQ system load libraries
When you use the IBM MQ Adapter in your UNIX System Services (USS) runtime environment, you need to define the IBM MQ system load libraries to the system linklist.
(Optional) Accessing Oracle 9i database
The Oracle 9i Client Adapter is available for you to use in maps on your UNIX System Services (USS) runtime environment.
(Optional) Using Language Environment parameters
The IBM Transformation Extender UNIX System Services (USS) runtime environment is a 31-bit application. The Language Environment (LE) parameters at many sites are optimized for COBOL programs and 24-bit applications.
(Optional) Defining port numbers when using the E-mail Adapter
The E-mail Adapter is available for use in maps run on your UNIX System Services (USS) runtime environment.
